Best Amps Under $350

there is nothing wrong with those amps. get out of hater nation.


I used to own one. It was heavy, bulky, and not loud enough for what it was. There was reason they discontinued it and came out with the 450. It could barely push two of their own Classic cabs loud enough without the limiter kicking in and distorting terribly.

Hater, nope. It was a bad design.
 
I'm happy you like it. Sorry for the "hate" quote, but I think that the SVT350H was utter ****. I can back that claim up with various reasons. Those being weight (for a 350 watt amp, i rather get a lightweight Markbass), insufficient wattage (easiest amp to clip for it's claimed wattage), difficult to eq, and that it is unreliable.

all of my experiences with this amp suggest otherwise. and everyone loves markbass, but it's not exactly affordable, and definitely not under $350.
 
Gallien Krueger - used RB 400, 800 or 700.

I really like older SWR stuff. Redface 350, SM 400, Basic 350 combo.

Peavey Firebass. Any of them.

The deal is that light weight equipment is "in." There are some killer deals to be had on equipment that is out of vogue because it is on the heavier side.
