Amp for College

Tash said:
Actually you should check this. When my friend was at Berklee a few years ago they did not allow amps in the dorms. A few hundred guitarists all in the same place playing every night...its easy to guess why.

They may have changed this policy though, just shoot them an email and ask.

I haven't found any mention of amplifiers in the dorms on their site. they do list things not to bring (toaster ovens). I'll email just in case.. hadn't thought of this yet.
 
Lol i brought my mesa 115 up to college. The people from 2 floors above heard me when i played. They didnt complain because the music wasnt obnoxious, i guess.

Anyway, this is a thread where you will get thousands of suggestions from people with different tastes in music/volume/tone. But particularly in a college situation i would go with something small. Shroeder seems to be good for that with the angled speakers. Maybe not 15 inch bc those things TRAVEL. Dont want to piss off your new dorm mates right?
