Help needed: Amp selection

[arsegras]

Hi all. I'm sourcing for a new electric guitar amp for one of the halls in my church. I'm looking for something between 50-60 watts, preferably not a tube amp (don't want the maintenance fuss).

Right now i'm really interested in the Marshall AVT50. It's going at S$650 at Davis.

Can anyone of you recommend anything comparable to that? If you can, please help me further by stating the price and where I can find it.

My budget is S$750, not a cent higher.

Thanks folks!

you can acquire a SMARVO 2X12 amp for <$400...

otherwise, the new Ibanez Toneblaster X should be auditioned (to hear the much improved drive, to say the least...).

recommended: TBX65R

the marshall you have in mind is a good choice, also you can consider the Vox valvatronix series, their 50 watt's definitely sweet. for church it'll be plenty and for worship it'll be heavenly, coldplay anyone?

AAAH. i'd get one if i had more room to put a cab. damn.

how much you guys get it for man!

I was about to mention the Crate powerblock mate to a budget Vox Cab. Should be within or slightly above the budget.

Now I'm thinking.

Crate powerblock + rack mount stereo fx + twin cabs = BLISS.

 

[markedymark]

i share the same thought with ed.

its almost like reaching nirvana

power block is pretty cool. Bandmate has one pretty good amp for a good price

quote markedymark: AAAH. i'd get one if i had more room to put a cab.

the PowerBlock is wonderful with a 1X12- i'm sure you have space for that...

how much? as per review stated...

 

[edder]

boss your review never put the cost of the cab... :wink:

 

[subversion]

that's because, the review's for the power block, not the cab...

2 dealers currently offering the 1X12 cab: Davis/ Ranking, suggest you call them up individually, i don't wanna quote conflicting prices here...

got a 4x12 for mine...

 

[markedymark]

all i can say for that is OH MY GAWD. 8O

 

[edder]

very nice.... i'm still contemplating whether to ditch my little mojofied modified vox pathfinder and rolannd JC50 for a crate powerblock. hmmmmmmmm......

guess better to put it on the back burner. don't wanna spend unnecessary $$$
