is it for home practice? if it is then maybe u can get the mini marshall stack amp MR15 MSII
wattage of amps doesn't matter as long as its above 5 watts... max vol is still as loud... whats more, heard that those marshall stack amps sound bigger then they really are...
its $375 on luthers page i think

erm i dun think hes looking for an amp!? well u can go to davis to check out their marshall cabs. but im think the one that is there is only a 1x12.
the retail price for ibanez cabs is roughly abt 400..for (2*12)
the marshall at Davies abt 600++ cant remember if its 2*12 or 1*12..
there are also cheap 4*12 cabs
line 6, behringer and kustom cabs sub 600++ (dunno exactly the price)
im not too sure abt Laney..
check with brother Sub if he has other info..
pls call the respective dealer for accurate pricing..
oh btw alternatively u can just get a small combo amp to play with..or get a keyboard amp...or anyother flat response amp.

In order to amplify the cabinets u need a power amplifier, in this case the pod xt or any pre-amp modelling dont really have much of that to drive the speakers.
So the solution is to just get a power amp only combo amp like the Sansamp Power Engine 60 or if u have the means to buy online, get the Atomic Amps, which is an all tube power amp combo.. I hope u guys get what I mean...

Here's a lil layman idea...
A poweramp is what amplifies a signal to something powerful enough to push speakers.
A preamp is what comes before (pre) the poweramp. This is wat converts ur weak guitar signal into something powerful enough to push a poweramp. This is where ur tone shaping comes in.
A cabinet is, well, a box with speakers
A head is a preamp + poweramp built into a box
A combo is a preamp + poweramp + cabinet built into a box
I got my Behringer 4X12 fro only s$369 plus delivery. It comes with their Bugera peakers which r modelled after the Celestion V30s. Well, i have not heard V30s b4, but these cabs r excellent in their price range.
The built is great, so when u crank ur amp, it doesnt buzz due to poor joints or construction. The speakers need to breakin to sound gd... I had it for like 2-3 weeks, n the thing sounded awful, "like i shld have known its a behringer." But after 1 mth, the speakers souned nice, great sparkle on clean, n dirty. Not as warm tho... Only thing it lacks the ultra lows it u wanna knock in some drop tuning. But it can do lows well enuff (Hey im using a bassman), ultra lows maybe not.
But dude its so cheap. I heard a marshall 4X12 b4 n i tot it sounded muddy on dirt.
Smarvo cabs r also 300-400+
But i guess u need a power amp for in ur case
Oh btw, do pay attention to the impedance of the cabs if u plan to buy a tube amp

woah, sorry for the late response. thanks all for the replies!
yep just realized am gonna need a power amp too, so that kinda blows the budget for me. saw the marshall 1936 cabs going at davis for like $640. looks sweet. 2 x 12. maybe some day. the way it looks to me, might as well, try for a combo amp after all. haha. guess best to save up a bit more.
sub, thanks for the alternate idea. will look into it. wish i can bring my pod xt down and plug in and try...then again...hmm...why not..? heh.
the power engine suggestion is good too...lemme check price...hope not too exp..

combo amp..get those with 2*12cabs with effects loop..
cost somewhere ard 400++......
although im using are pre/power set up..
i would prefer getting something like a laney head to go with the pod..
and run the cabs in dual mono. a wet dry approach..
but money is the problem
Weiht nice info man...any chance i can test the cab...???

Hmmm, i actually bought without testing them, cuz for me it was no much of a choice. My amp needed 4 ohm, and this was the only model i found with matching impedance. MOst nowadays have 8 or 16 ohms...
When i contact the company, they had to order the cab from overseas, so no chance to test.
But my pt of view was, its only $369, im desperate for a matching cab, n if i dont like it., i can always sell it n not lose alot.
If u interested, u can bring ur head to test at CCK... lol
BTW, mine is the BG412V...
Smarvos also have cabs at 300-400+ range, but not too sure abt the quality... Anyone tested?
