Hi there!

We play classic style rock, and are looking to add a second electric guitar to the setup.

We have the guitar, we have the cab, all we need is the head!

It'll be used mainly for ryhthm and texture, not really any lead. We've got a JTM 45 through 4X12 greenbacks for that!

reverb would be a plus, and tube amp is prefered, but we are open to ideas.

So come on everyone... what have you got?!

By the way, we are not looking to break the bank, so nothing too high-end... Thanks! - Sun, 2 Apr 2006 9:08pm Edited: Sun, 2 Apr 2006 9:19pm

lol what can be broken because you're looking for a tube head. ur already going to break a grand no matter what. but how much over a grand.

actually i know of some really really Cheap Mesa amps i could hook you up with.
f-30 for about 1050
f-50 for about 1350
All have reverb and footswitch. I work at a shop and thats dealer cost. - Sun, 2 Apr 2006 9:37pm Edited: Sun, 2 Apr 2006 9:42pm

You'll easily be able to find something used for much much less than a grand. There is a used marshall 8100 Valve state on craigslist.org (gotta go back a couple days). Awesome solid state amp for Rock/metal. It has a single 12ax7 tube in it but i still wouldn't consider that tube amp. Check into the Laney AOR series all tube amps (great JCM80 tone for around 4-600).

What is your budget, I could name some amps that will fit. Cheers Lucius - Sun, 2 Apr 2006 10:05pm Edited: Sun, 2 Apr 2006 10:10pm

Thanks for the response guys!

I hadn't even heard about craigslist.com, man... I spent some time on there this morning!

Lucius, I'm looking to spend between about 400-600 bucks, so any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

As for solid state amps: I don't have anything against them, it's just I've never used one before... If it has a warm, organic sound (Tom Petty/Wilburys) I'd be happy to take her for a spin :)

Thanks again guys. - Mon, 3 Apr 2006 10:56am Edited: Mon, 3 Apr 2006 11:07am

Hi! I have a Tech 21 300 watt head. 3- independent channels, in which you may set 3 different amp modes Tweed (Fender), British (Marshall), California (Mesa). Not exact but all three settings are effective and unique. The Tweed channel/setting does a great fender sound. You can read reviews at Harmony Central. It's a very versatile head. Just thought I would reply to your posting as I need money to pay for tuition.
Thanks! - Wed, 5 Apr 2006 9:45pm Edited: Wed, 5 Apr 2006 9:53pm

Now I HAVE to change it Ross.

I think "Ladey" has a nice ring to it... Or maybe I'll just cover it with a sticker, or decorative fabric :)

the possibilities are endless... - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 6:10pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 6:13pm
