stevealex35 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hey,Am looking to buy a new electric guitar amp combo, spending around 350-450. Would appreciate some recommendations as I am not too sure what to go for!

stevealex35 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 cool thanks for that. i was actually looking at them before thinking they looked quite good! I dont suppose you have seen them any where in town, I would really like to try one out first?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Fenders are good amps and another couple of alternatives in that price range are Peavey Classic 30 and Laney LC 30.I have an Engl Screamer 1x50 which is the best amp I've ever owned by a country mile and I couldn'r recommend it highly enough. However, they are about 600 new.Bruce Millers had both (at least the used to) and R&B should stock the Fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevealex35 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 thanks Diesel, i checked out reviews on the amps and it looks like the Laney LC 30 might be a good choice! If any one happens to be selling one of these...Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeC Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 thanks Diesel, i checked out reviews on the amps and it looks like the Laney LC 30 might be a good choice! If any one happens to be selling one of these...Thanks!I have an LC30 (not for sale) I've had it for a few years now and its been a great amp, the only thing I would change is the speaker if I were gigging it, the HH driver fitted breaks up a bit when you really push it, but for home use and practice its spot on.I have driven a 4x12 with it and its sounds really good.

scottyboy Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 get a valve amp second hand. i don't think you'll get anything good that's new, for that price. my jcm800 was about 400 including postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 i can vouch for peavey classic 30 or 50. most excellent clean channel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sora01 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I quite like my marshall jcm900...its pretty flexible tone wise too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Coholic Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 You can probably get a Sound City Mark 6 in that price range.... I heard somewhere they are really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
