How much are Bellbirds worth now? If you can find one They are the perfect bedroom amp.

Actually, I also have a Bellbird that’s just been sitting in a cupboard unused for a couple of years…

I've got to say that I'm not feeling this demo at all. The thing sounds fine but unspectacular and with Chris Buck behind the strings it should knock your face off

No good for home use, really, but an excellent amp:

But my main recommendation would be the 5 Watt Laney Lionheart. Fabulous Fender-y sounding amp.

The poweramp switching on the Nextone amps is subtle and difficult to get across over YouTube, so I made sure that we used a combination of close and distance miking to get as close to an "in the room" sound as possible.

Re: First World Problems - New Amp Choices
Well I had some soul searching about spending a bunch of money on an amp right now, so decided to pull the trigger on a Laney Cub Super8 on Thomann, cheap little fender champ clone that should scratch that itch for now and then I might revisit something else in a while... thanks for all the ideas peeps!

Re: First World Problems - New Amp Choices
Was a bit tongue in cheek, you do have a gamut of gorgeous amps!
