TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I think the thread title says it all. Can folk recommend a low wattage amp head with a very clean channel? My Marshall combo is just too tempremental now (see JoA gig nightmares) so I'd be keen to invest in something else. I know Matamp do nice low wattage head, but it could be hella dear. Ideally, I'd just want something with a Fenderish clean sound, I'm not interested in blazing valve distortions.Thanks in advance!xoxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest E.C Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Surely headroom has never been a concern for you before, Jan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboy Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 how low a wattage are you thinking about? the influx of low wattage amp ie 5 watts are so you can get the saturated overdrive at lower volumes. the higher the wattage the higher the head room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for wanting a small head is that they're so portable and usually quite basic, I don't need lots of channels and various options since my pedalboard has so much going on.

Chris Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Tried the Orange Tiny/Dual Terror?The dual has 30 watts which can be switched down to 15 or 7. I can always give you a shot of my Dual Terror if you want to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I was thinking about a Tiny Terror, but wasn't sure how much it starts to break up when you crank it. A Vox Night Train is good too, especially if you stick a bit of reverb on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
