Let's talk practice amps

[Jake]

Looking for something to keep in the living room. I'm pretty much wide open, except that I don't want anything that's too costly or has tubes. Something with built in effects could be cool, as long as they don't sound too much like ass. A headphone jack would be nice too, as my droning and caterwauling can get somewhat "unpleasant" to those within earshot.

Hit me with some suggestions, brothers.

Line6 Amplifi? A guy I know who works in a music shop was raving about it. Apparently you hook it up to your iPad and use that as your interface. You can mess around with effects, amps and whatnot. I haven't tried it, but it looked a bit like garageband, easy to use, seemed like fun.

[Jake]

That looks neat, but at $350 and $450, it's too rich for my blood.

Fender Mustang Amp.

Yamaha THR10 is my living room amp.

Now that it got a firmware update it takes pedals a lot better so I just leave it on the Marshall Super Lead setting with the gain rolled up and hit it with a Pharaoh or a treble booster.

It's more than loud enough for in front of the TV. The 5W is the same sounds but just a few less knobs and a lot less money.

If you connect a laptop you can change cabs and a bunch of different settings and save them into the presets for later but mostly I just use the stock Super Lead or JCM800 settings.

[The Shocker]

Had the Yamaha, I wasn't a fan of it.  Too noisy.

The Fender can download all the stuff too.

[liquidsmoke]

I've found that headphone jacks on practice amps tend to sound like complete ass but perhaps some are better than others.

[kirky]

Get the Orange 20 watt. Perfection.

[Jake]

I had that Yamaha THR-10 for a while last year. It was cool, and I liked the features, but I think I'd like something a little louder.

[Jake]

Daddy like. But why's everything gots to be so spendy? Or maybe I'm just a cheap ass.

[Omlet]

Roland Micro cube all the way.

[jibberish]

ok i'm going off topic, but this is way too cool for fender to have done. total spoof video on the vaporizer. I was laughing. this was right off the fender website heh.

[VOLVO)))]

Vaporizer sounds kinda meh. I dogged one out and decided I'd rather have a beat up ac30 instead of a pretty Vaporizer

[jibberish]

this amp has an ac30 tone stack along with the marshall and fender stacks
the combo version uses a nice celestion  speaker

He's looking for non-tube amps.
All the Egnaters I've seen are tube jobs.
I could be mistaken though.

you are correct.

I started a little off topic thing with that funny fender video I came across. the egnater was just finishing that side chain. the fender is all tube too.

my suggestion actually was the 40watt roland cube at like a $250 price point since the 10w Yamaha wasn't loud enough.

[Danny G]

I landed my Marshall Lead 12 for $130 used. Mean little amp

[RAGER]

I like my little tube reel to reel into a 1x12 with a vintage 30.  Total price was prolly $150.

[jibberish]

black is going to do a facepalm when he gets back to this thread haha.

I was actually at the fender site for legitimate reasons btw, before I derailed myself.

guitar center is blowing out a mountain of the fender mustang series SS amps and I was seeing what this was all about.

[RAGER]

Why?

[RacerX]

Back on topic, this is my go-to solid state practice amp:

[Danny G]

Ever run a cab with one of those? Not too shabby for what it is

[kirky]

I've got a Crate powerblock that I run with a cheap blackheart 1x12. I've got one of those caitlinbread svt pedals. Sounds fucking great.
