NOT Wanted Gigging Rock Amp

What's Hot

Not looking anymore (for the time being)

Thanks for all the offers, I got fired from the band! oh well 6 months of rehearsing down the pan 


Hi

I'm looking for a valve amp and don't have masses of cash!! £400 Absolute max (£300 would be better haha). I've trolled the adverts here and just got myself so confused as I don't really know what I want.

I need something with a reasonable clean channel, separate hi gain capable of some serious rock into metal capable of pub gigs, more bothered about good rock tone rather than concentrate on a clean amp with pedals as I want to simplify things as much as possible, reverb preferably.  Ideally I would like 3 channels clean, crunch and OD but I guess I might be out of luck in my price range??

Not looking for anything too big, either a combo 1x12 or 212 or separate head and cab but nothing over 2x12's

Not looking to purchase till payday in 2 weeks so this might be put up a bit early but I need something in place early June for gigs booked so I need to get ready for when I get the cash. I can collect from pretty much anywhere for the right amp as I travel about a lot for work.

Thanks

Billy

    I'd sell you my gigging rock amp but it's rubbish - it's got a full diary of gigs so I can never use it, and sometimes it goes on tour and I don't see it for months.  :((

    I have a Bugera V22 bought from Thomann last year and used less than 10 times. Has great cleans and will do all the way up to metal, and is loud enough for pub gigs.

    Yours for £160

    Here's a good demo (the real demo starts at 4:00)

    You want the Fender Deluxe 90 DSP I can't get rid of.   £75.00 and loud as a very loud thing.   Not that valvelike though but loud.
