SCAMMER WARNING: Due to a spate of recent scam attempts (some successful) recently, if you're doing a deal in the classifieds, ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY. It's really not worth saving a few quid.
SORTED: A decent home amp for up to 800(ish)
What's Hot
“Help an amp less person” (says the cardboard sign).
So, I have been driven a bit tired with all the options out there so wanted to see what’s out there with the following “specs”:
- Compact combo
- suitable for the now occasional home playing
- In London
I could make an exception price wise for a Friedman mini dirty Shirley. Cornell plexi 7 also considered.
I tried researching the Kemper route for an all rounder option but fell into the usual rabbit hole regarding speakers cabs etc so it’s back to a small combo for me.
Thank you all

It also has the secret weapon of 2x10" speakers. I'd want £650 plus delivery. I'm in Brighton so easily collectible from London!
I have a withdrawn thread on on it you can read through if interested.
For some context, what sort of sound are you after? The two amps you mentioned would suggest anything fender based is off the table? Is clean more important than distortion or vice versa? Any other features you want? Reverb? FX loop? More than one channel?

As for features: A master volume is nice. Reverb also very welcome. Channel switching not really something I am after.
Size, as mentioned a bit of an issue, but if I could afford a matchless amp I would happily toss the coffee table out of the window

A bit simple and won’t ever play it it too loud but does nice semi cleans with a brutish flavour. Maybe a Kemper in 1-2 years.
