Question Desperately Need New Amp Advice!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys. I'm in need of a new practice amp and I have a few in mind but I'm not familiar with all of the brands. I would love some input on these particular amps as well as how the brands compare to each other. I know there are price differences but that doesn't matter to me. I'm only worried about sound quality and build quality.

Marshall MB30
Orange Crush Pix CR50BXT
Acoustic B50
Ampeg BA112
Line 6 Low Down Studio 110
Warwick Take 12
SWR LA12
GK MB112
Ashdown Perfect 10
Eden E8 or E10

Sorry for so many but I just can't decide.

I like the Acoustic, and it's surprisingly good. Nice tone, straightforward controls and packaging, overall a nice amp.

While I love Ampeg, I don't like the 112, it doesn't have the Ampeg sound, IMO. It just sounds like another amp.

I currently play another Ashdown amp, so I may be biased here, but I've played the perfect 10, and it sounds terrific. It is only 30 watts, though.

Everybody seems to like the Acoustic and as far as the Ashdown only being 30 watts, for a practice amp that is fine with me. Really anything between 30 and 100 watts will be good.

+1 on the Acoustic (for a practice amp I'd choose the B20). I've also owned the Ampeg BA-112 and thought it an excellent practice combo.
