3rdeyeopen Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hi guys. Am looking at buying another amp coz my current one just doesn't cut it. However there is just so much out there and I don't really know what to look for. I've been playing a bit of blues and jazz, but I've also play a lot of tool, ratm, jimi h, rhcp, rock and metal. Would like to hear everyones thoughts! Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrw1960 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I have a Epi BC 30 paid $500 for it 3 yrs ago. Nice, but I found a fantastic Fender Hot Rod Deluxe made in USA 1997. 40 Watts of blissful Tube tone. New JJ tube kit and clean pots. It kicks some serious arse for Blues.Super chimey cleans and great overdrive for some Texas style Blues. My go-to amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdeyeopen Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 This would be my opinion, should be below $ 500..... What amp is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckmo Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 If you're looking for a great 2 channel 5 watt tube amp check out the HT-5 by Blackstar for around $400. I own one and love it! If you want more wattage in tube try a 40 watt Peavey ValveKing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
