Bedroom Amp

I need those tiny little things because they are all I can afford for a spare amp and I don't have a huge room. I'm sure others can relate.

Sure I can understand, you guys who are being serious here regarding little amps just think I'm a boob, but in all seriousness I've already been there.

You know what I used for my "little amp" when I was a youngster and didn't have a lot of money? I lugged my gigging amp home, hauled it up to my room (tri-level home so two staircases) and played it there, or when the practice space was at my house, down a flight and into the basement.

Honestly? The last year... Yeah I think that's right, only the last year have I had more than one amp to my name.

More than one is a luxury. Now true I'm basking in that luxury right now... BUT I still believe more than one is just luxury.

Genz Benz ShuttleMax 12 and Uber 212 is my bedroom setup. I realize this isn't what your looking for, but in all seriousness the Genz Benz amps have a top quality headphone out and the ShuttleMax series (not sure about the regular Shuttles) have an auxillary input so you can run a mp3 player or drum machine straight in and have a great practice amp. Plus the amp has enough power to handle just about any gig and it's super portable.

I also recently just picked up a Line6 UX1 to record directly to my computer and it works the same way. It gives an excellent sound through headphones plus you get the ability to record and have built in effects. Of course this option would only work if you have a computer in the room too.
