What stack to choose?

Sign in to disble this ad
Okay, heres the deal!

Ive ordered a Sandberg pj4 Masterpiece, and now ive started looking out for a stack that could fit its personal sound.
At the moment im looking at an Ashdown/Ampeq/GalienKruger/EBS stack but i really dont know what to go for, any suggestions are accepted!

But bear in mind, its gotta be a realistic choice for a student (im not poor, but neither am i rich)

Thanks for reading

What are your volume needs? Are you looking for a gigging amp to cover 350 people with no PA support or are you looking for a practice amp? How important is portability to you? Do you want just enough to get the job done or do you want the biggest, coolest looking rig you can afford?

Uhmm im looking for a mid range volume 100-150 people at max (or then ill have PA support) uhmm portability is quite important but can be helped (max 80 pounds/40 kilos for the cabinet) uhmm Money is helpable the range isnt really that short

What type of music? What type of tone are you going for?

Nice. Since you have ebs on the list you should consider Genz Benz too. I just got a shuttle max 3.0 10t combo. Only 18 pounds! Sounds really nice too. Just add an extension speaker of your choice and you got some sweet non back breaking tone.
