Recommend a good backup amp head (cheap)

[Right_Butterscotch64]

I need a cheap backup head that will work with my Fender Rumble 410. My cabinet has a 4 ohm impedance.
I want to know about any good amps that are very common and could be found on the used market for less than 150$, preferably less than 100. I see a lot of cheap old Peaveys for less than 100 go on the internet but I know nothing about their reliability. Since I'm buying used, I want something rugged that will last for years to come no matter how badly the previous owner treated it.
Suggestions? Thanks

Save up an extra $100 and get a used Hartke LH500 or used Gk 400rb. For $200-250.

I was thinking that. Even if I got an old Peavey I'd expect it to sound better than my Behringer, so I probably would use whatever I'm going to get as a primary.

I've been eyeing the GK MB Fusion amps, too.

Maybe able to grab a used hartke 3500 or hartke 4000 around 150ish

I love a Hartke 3500.

I tried out a GK MB200 a couple of days ago and was totally amazed at the tone and volume. It weights about 2 lbs and is very small. It would be great as a backup because you can just toss it in a gig bag. New $299, used seems to run about $200 - $220. It may be my next purchase to backup my Rumble 500.

What he says!!! Look around I scored mine for 175.00 shipped, and far more reliable than other suggestions on here...

+1 for the GK 400RB.

Almost always can be found for $150-$200.
