wtb Combo (1x12?) Rehearsal Amp

John_P

I'm still debating what I want so feel free to temp me...

A pro junior would be good but I was toying with a jet city 2212 and at a zt lunchbox so I'm looking for something a bit interesting...

Small and light is good - I just need an decent clean sound that can keep up with a drummer in a reheasal room.  It doesn't need to have giggable.
Budget depends on the amp but definitely less than 400 - I'm not looking to spend a lot, I just want a cool, pick up and go little amp for rehearsals.

edit:  Currently looking at something like a tubemeister36  - a 3 or more channel combo with midi would be very cool - or something with a half decent clean sound...

and replied - very tempting offer but I'll see what anyone else has going - that's way more of an amp than I expected.

Although the right head could tempt me, I'd prefer a combo for this job...

Thanks,  nice amps but not really my thing

Hah! Not selling matey, just suggesting. I've had mine years, covers all bases including loud drummy rehearsals, or gigs with the line out into a 4x12.

Thanks Dan but like a Laney - on paper it would tick all the boxes but it isn't my thing -  I'm sure it's a great amp though - glwts

Buy a WEM Dominator Mk.III
Vintage 70's combo amp, plenty loud, clean headroom.
Can pick them up online for between £150.00 and £300.00 depending on condish and seller greed.
People sell them off cheap to "upgrade" to brand new Marshalls and Vox's at double/trip the price. Fucking histerical if u ask me.

Tonewise will slay anything at twice the price on stage or în a studio.

Only con: Perhaps not quite the dinky, lightweight you looking for, but not far off.

That's silly cheap - I wanted a combo but I'm so tempted to grab that as another spare head - don't hold it especially for me but if I don't see a combo I want in the next few days I might grab it

Cacofonix

Hughes & Kettner Attax 80? 

Bombproof.  Nice cleans.  Solid state 80s amp.  £100

Amazingly I still haven't managed to buy something....  I'm trying to avoid tapdancing pedals so something nice and clean that i can plug the dg stomp multieffects into -  debating the yamaha power engine on ebay!   or something like a H&K tubemeister with 3 or more channels and midi switching would be great.
