Amp Help pls

Hi,
Thinking of replacing my current amp.....the cone seems to have blown out or somethin.... I need an amp which is versatile, and can play anything from a nice clean sound to metal.....

What u guys think of a AVT-20, or spider II 210....i dont really need any effects, cuz got a multi effects already. Which is more versatile, and can handle everything smoothly. What other amps out there you may recommend?

I can fix amps, you can bring it to me for checking.

If you blown the speaker, I think you should consider getting a 1X12" kind of amp to better handle the power you are pushing it.

Good amps are Peavey Bandit, Marshall AVT100. If on budget can try Kuston KGA65 or Laney HCM65.

I have a good condition Crate GX80 (Made in USA), but am not parting it for less than $350.

Any other stuffs you can look me up too.

Use that AVT 50 i think, at the studio at peninsular, 2megatherion.....sounds good to me.The AVT series is vavlestate, what is it exactly? I heard its kind of a tube amp....but???

 

[teleholic]

it's a hybrid amp..tube preamp, transistor poweramp..heard bad things about avt series too..

 

[mikemann]

If I not wrong, the AVT range of amps have ONE 12AX7 preamp tube to "warm" up the sound, but it's quite subjective. Cause I have heard warmer all-transistor amp.

Sound wise on the AVT is pretty OK, but lasting wise should be trouble free for about 3-5yrs depend on usage, peavey is better in that.

+1 to that..peavey stuff is great..really wanna try out the xxl combo...seems really nice...i wanna bring it home............
