antwhi2001 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 What sort of sounds do you want? What sort of music, are there particular players you want to sound like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collin Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I would say try the vox valvetronix. play it first though but the marshall avt50 might be pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwhi2001 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 The Marshall AVT range are good value, I used to have one before I went up to all-tube. The distortion sound is better than the clean, and it sounds like that's what you'll be using most of the time. Don't be tempted by the cheaper Marshall MG series...inferior sound and unreliable.

Maybe Rock and Metal![/quote'] Might I suggest a MARSHALL Practice amp? I own a similar one, quite happy with tone, very adjustable. Hee, hee - a see a difference of opinion here regarding Marshall MG series. I'll admit, my fave amp was a Musicman HD-130 all tube I used to own, but for the cash... Individual choice! http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Marshall-MG15-1x8-15W-Guitar-Combo-Amp?sku=501641 HEY!!!! I JUST SAW THAT THE ZAKK MARSHALL MINI-STACK HAS HAD $100.00 KNOCKED OFF, NOW ONLY $249.00!!!!!! BUT, for $150 more, I can have a 100W all tube half-stack! Cash availability rules the day in the current economy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1281734170 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yup, stay away from the Marshall MG series. I know first hand. Unreliable. How 'bout a Fender 25r? They're about that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majo Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yes, the Fender Frontman 25R sounds great and for almost no €. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwhi2001 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I owned an MG100DFX, it was poor. Had 2 speakers and a fan replaced under warranty in first 8 months. I've also just got an MG15CD, one of the limited edition silver ones, for home practice. I'd give it 3 out of 10 for tone. MG series use quite low budget speakers and it shows, particular when you try for a clean sound. I traded up to an AVT275X, and there was real improvement all round, and no reliability issues. AVTs are good for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of those sound better to me than Line 6. If you want to go all tube just get a used Epiphone Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Go to a large guitar and amp store and spend the afternoon with YOUR guitar. You will come away with a choice. You will do better if you make two or three choices and then go read about what people say about the reliability and performance of the amp on your list before you buy. Don't buy on your first impression, check it out. The Fender 25R is a nice amp, but it won't be loud enough for a band situation or even for jamming if there's a loud drummer present. Our rhythm player had one and upgraded to the 212R and finally to the Supersonic (all tube). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Here's my suggestion: Increase your budget. I know of no 20 watt amp for $130. And if there IS...Stay the Hell away from it! ;>) Seriously...you'll need to spend at least 2 times that amount, IMHO, to get even close to "decent!" Look at Roland Cube amps...they're great, for the money, and have decent tone. Tube amps, generally, will be much more expenive than 130 bucks! Good luck!
