i know its solid state but i cant afford too many tubes
the only tubes i can afford is the Peavey XXL and Marshal AVT50H2003: Uniondale, MSG x2 | 2004: Reading | 2005: Gorge, Vancouver, Philly | 2006: East Rutherford x2, Gorge x2, Camden 1, Hartford | 2008: MSG x2, VA Beach | 2009: Philly x3 | 2010: MSG x2, Bristow | 2011: Alpine Valley x2 | 2012: MIA Philly | 2013: Wrigley, Charlottesville, Brooklyn 2 | 2014: Milan, Amsterdam 1 | 2016: MSG x2, Fenway x2, Wrigley 2 | 2018: Rome, Krakow, Berlin, Wrigley 2 | 2021: Sea Hear Now | 2022: San Diego, LA x2, MSG, Camden, Nashville, St. Louis, Denver | 2023: St. Paul 1, Chicago x2, Fort Worth x2, Austin 2 | 2024: Las Vegas 1, Seattle x2, Indy, MSG x2, Philly x2, Baltimore, Ohana 2 | 2025: Florida x2, Atlanta x2, Pittsburgh x20 -
i was mostly just badmouthing crate because of fairly bad experiences that ive had with them.
do you already have a cab, because what seems to be your pricerange you could probably get more tone for the dollar going with a combo0 -
Eh, go on eBay and find a Sovtek Mig or Midget... or a Fender Bassman head...

A Sovtek or an old Yamaha (soldano) T50 or T100 would blow away any of those hybrids.My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.0

Crate solid-state = :(
that's what i currently have, yuck. I'm gonna get myself a tube amp SOON. I'm not so sure why you say you can't afford a tube amp when you're gonna drop 400 on a solid-state head...then you'll probably drop another couple/few hundred on a cab for it. You can EASILY snatch up a solid tube amp for less than that, not to mention it will sound a hundred times better."I'll do whatever the song dictates - if it doesn't need a real lead, then I won't do one.

Right Here Pacomaco

Looks like it may go for a pretty penny too.
Lets also not forget about some of the older Mesa Boogie combo stuff ...
I know it was either you or MIG that says they like the Subway:
Here is a Subway Rocket
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43374&item=7311724407&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
There are a few more ...
Also the combo
DC5 or DC3 ... which i can't seem to find on Ebay today ...
but any other day you could find one for less than $500.
These things are great, with 6 preamps and 4 tubes.
If you're really "lucky" and wanna go deaf you can find the more rare DC-5 combo with FOUR 10s "AYE CHIWAWA!"If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand?0 -
well the tube amps that i like that i can afford are...

Those aren't tube amps. The Vox is a modeling amp, and the Marshall is a hybrid....and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.0 -
I'm going to assume that you already have a Cab since all you seem to be looking at are heads?HailHailVitalogy wrote:well the tube amps that i like that i can afford are...

if you're budget is 600 bucks, you can get a great tube head/combo. I'm not a fan of the hybrid/modeling amps...go for the real thing.
for under 600 new:
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe
Peavey Classic 30
Peavey DeltaBlues
the above three are the main three that i'm looking at, and i'm probably gonna go with the Delta Blues. On Ebay you can get really good deals on the above amps i mentioned, or other larger amps such as Fender's Hot Rod Deville or Peavey Classic 50...still for way under 600.
remember also, that tube amps are WAY louder than solid state amps with the same wattage ratings..."I'll do whatever the song dictates - if it doesn't need a real lead, then I won't do one. But if it does, then I'll fuckin' go off." - Mike

I still say Sovtek or a Bassman.
Although this one is cool, and could sell cheap:

Another cool Traynor:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10171&item=7311062529&rd=1
Why not another?

i know i want that combo but i have no where to put it or a justification for 100 watts... so of course i bid anyways.0

Which?
The Traynor?...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.0 -
yea.. the traynor 2x12 dont think ill bid to win though, mostly because i seem to catch myself before i actually spend money on my bigger impulses.0
-
That Traynor would sound killer with a Rat.
Loud as fuck, though.
Oh, come on... you know you wanna......and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.0 -
yes.... especially with my mesa overdrive pedal.. seeing as what that did to my solid state fender deluxe 112+.
man its a hard choice. too bad all i really am willing to spend on it is about 250, which i doubt will win.
i wanna see this thing get delivered to my campus. they wouldnt know what the hell would be in a box that big.
but i mean i barely have room for a 1x12 in here..
maybe if i was in a steady band.0 -
Still, it would be cool as hell to set that thing up and play a little "Back in Black"......and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.0
-
im leaning towards it.. hell i got a few days to make a final decision.0
-
so i decide to go for it and lose by 5 bucks cause i was at work. oh well.
i saw a converted princeton with a bunch of mesa mods that sounded pretty sweet, for 500 bucks at a local shop
they also have a 1985 fender concert head w 2x10 cab for 500
and that same traynor for 600.
im going to try all of them through ym set up this weekend and see how things go.0 -
