Need an inexpensive combo with CD/MP3 input

Sign in to disble this ad
I did some buying and selling and scored a like new mint condition USA Ampeg B-100R....which was my main amp for 2 years way back.

I have a Boss Drum Machine I like to use as a metronome/jam partner and the Ampeg does not have an input for it. Also, I like it seperate anyways. Right now I just have it hooked up to Ipod portable speakers and its not loud enough and sounds terrible past it's halfway mark.

I'm thinking of the Line 6 LD15 or Roland RX.....this is mostly just to amplify the drum machine loud enough not to be buried by the Ampeg.

I like the idea of a modeler amp because I can also use it when I want just mess around with something different....the B-100R is a great amp but it doesn't too many different tones even with the few pedals it does get along with.

A used Roland Cube is my first preference.....want to keep it under $200 as it will mostly be a novelty, backup practice amp but mostly just an amp for the drum machine.

Thoughts/ideas greatly appreciated.

There's a bunch of Behringer combos that would do just fine for that. Cheap, aux in, and perfectly usable if you're not going to beat on them too much.

Thank You All

I want a combo for sure and something with different amp models is a plus just because I have a "does one thing but does it really well" amp already. So the option for some digital amps/effects just for occasional kicks would be cool.

I don't have any speaker cabs on hand anymore...
