Looking for a small practice amp

[roger33]

I'm looking for a small 10-20 watt amp that's easy to move from one room to the other. My stereo system and guitars are in different rooms. I like to jam along with CD's. I'm looking for something that sounds somewhat decent. It will not be used to gig with. My TKO is too heavy to be moving around. CD input and a headphone jack are a must for late night practice. I see several brands around the $100.00 mark with decent specs but have no way to try them all. Which of these amps have you tried and would recommend for my use?

Acoustic B20 and Peavey Max are two for consideration.

I have owned a Fender Rumble 60 to good effect for practice althought the tone is nothing to write home about. I bought it used for $100 and just sold it recently for slightly more! I now own a Fender B-DEC (30 watts though) to practice with and it is the bomb! There is so much you can do with this amp (practice-wise) it's scary! I'm gonna' have to get help learning all about it in fact. I bought the B-DEC new and it cost me $290 - well worth it though. Makes practicing fun!

I snagged a NIB Orange Crush 20watt mini-combo on ebay.The little guy is pretty loud if you crank it--you know for a practice amp.I`ve heard pretty good things about both the Crush 20b and 35b.For only $100.00 I grabbed it!I`m happy.

Plus,it looks really cool and I now I`m in the Orange Club(even if it was made in China).

my $0.02 worth

Find a Peavey Minx10. It's a little heavy, but one of the few practice amps that makes a bass sound like a bass. I just picked up one at a pawn shop for $50, cleaned it up and it sounds great. I've even used it at an open mike night. Carried it and my bass in and I was ready to go.

Another good choice, can be a little harder to find.

How about the small Roland cube amps - has anyone any experience with them?

The cube 30 or even the microcube - just for playing in the house along with radio/TV?
