Need an AMP, any suggestions

afarid

Hi guys I am moving into my own apartment and away from my parents basement. Hence I will not be able to rock out on a 60 watt amp. So do you guys have any suggestion on what kind of small amp I can buy which will be good for practice and RECORDING. Cause i do intend to record suff.

Later and to all my Torontonian Jammer see you in a week .

what's your budget? You should buy a tube amp if at all possible.

dude I am moving in an apartement condo. I dont think the nieghbours will enjoy me rocking out to my tube amp

You can get a 5 or 10 watt tube amp.. it all depends on your budget.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I did not know that but I do not think they will be good for recording. what do you think. I know marshall has an MS4 but I heard it is not that good

Why don't you think they'll be good for recording?

I know Crate makes 5, 10, and 15 watt tube amps.

I read a review on it. Any how I have a BIG MUFF, SMALL CLONE, DOD DISTORTION, WAH, DELAY and FLANGER PEDAL. Any how I know Brian may has a small amp that he used for recordeing. Anyways have you recorded usinga small amp.

I track a LOT with my Vibro Champ.

But you're probably getting confused with the regular ol' Champ amp. The old tweed Champs are the infamous tracking amps (a la Keith Richards), but the blackface Champs are also really nice. At 6 watts, the Champ is a great way to go for a small tube practice/recording amp, and the silverface Champs can usually be had for a decent price.

Roland Cube users swear by them, so that's a good call... but they are also a love 'em or hate 'em kinda amp.

i only been playing for a couple months an i got a new amp on the weekend. a new line6 112. i know its not that great but it does the job for me and has plenty of power, plus there's heaps of effects (not that i use them at the moment). but if want a shitload of effects go a line6

a 5 or 10 watt tube amp would be the best thing you could get to record with IMO.

Oh, Jimmy

Low wattage=lower volume sweet tone

I think basically everybody uses smaller amps to record. Page and Brian May are the ones who most people talk about but the amp that brian may used was just tiny.

i have heard nothing but good things about Traynor amps. A friend of mine recently purchased a Traynor 15watt all tube amp and i was extremely impressed...
