colchar Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 After talking with staff at the store Let me guess - Long & McQuade on King Street? Or maybe Sherwood Music? Not that I've ever seen any Gretsch tube amps in either of those stores. they convinced me that a small tube amp was the way to go. I bought a Gretsch G5222 and have been quite happy with the sound. Small tube amps can be great as they are quite simple and allow you to learn to play and create your own tone/sound without a bunch of effects. Solid state amps can also be good too though (I'm in the process of selling my Marshall as I've ordered an Orange Crush PiX from Sherwood Music) so long as you don't get caught up in, and distracted by, all of the extra bells and whistles. In the end, what matters most is that you like the sound of your equipment and I can see the Casino/Gretsch combination being a really good one.
