Practise / Club Amp
Playing Les Paul & SH Tele - looking for practise/bedroom/club gig amp around the 50W size.
My requirements are for 2 channel, channel footswitch, headphones output, reverb. Dont care about onboard effects as I have pedals.
Looking at the following in the $500 range.
Orange Crush 35RT 35W, $429.00
Fender Mustang or Champion 40W, $399.00
Boss Katana 50W, $449.00
Marshall CODE 50, 50W, $499.00
Any experience, pros and cons with any of these?
Anything Ive missed I should know about?
There is also an older Peavey Bandit 1x12 I have my eye on, I do remember those sounded nice!

If you're using pedals, maybe keep an eye out for a Peavey Classic series amp, tube goodness and cheap secondhand

Only played one in a shop. Sounded OK at bedroom levels. Sounded like a sack of tin cans partially filled with rat shit falling down stairs when turned up.MakoGat wrote:Marshall CODE 50, 50W, $499.00

Factor in replacing the speaker as many of them are beaten to death.MakoGat wrote:There is also an older Peavey Bandit 1x12 I have my eye on, I do remember those sounded nice!

Re: Practise / Club Amp
"nice" is subjective but id describe bandits more as "utilitarian". And thats coming from a peavey MANIAC.
What jb said.Classics are a lot of amp for the price-katana seems to be getting good noises though.

DAMIT!! Katana 50W or Peavey bandit 112. I can play the Katana at the local Rockshop but the Bandit is out of town. I do remember the rock n metal sounds outa the Bandit were cool but Im also after bluesy tones such as at the later half of this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CT9tqogQ5M
Im guessing the katana would be a better allrounder tho
