Sound Drive SG-15 and SG-10

[wifiabc]

Hi,

Are these the best guitar amps for the price? The list price
is $140 and $90 at the website. What's the best discount
you've got ?

What would be a good inexpensive cable to use with this amp?

lol.i was also recommended the sg-10.i believe the prices you are quoting is from SV?

if u want short term, i think the sg10 will suffice, but if u want a reasonably good amp to practice on then get the sg15

I think it depends more on the type of rig (using pedals, MFX or just straight into the amplifier) than the short-term or long-term. I've been using an SG-10 for years because it suits my rig a lot better.

If you want an amplifier that you'll be plugging straight into without pedals or multi-effects, the SG-15 would be better because it's got everything in one.

In comparison, the SG-10 is just a simple, 10-watt amplifier that would get you superb cleans and mild distortion tones for its wattage and speaker size. It is more suitable if you will be getting your drive tones and effects from pedals. In other words, it is a good clean amplifier. It can go heavier but frankly its heavier gain tones are terrible. It's cleans are superb though.

Tone Drive cables (also at Standard Value) are superb cables, I've been using them for years too and they're even better than my USA-made Neutrik cables.

and the sg-15 isn't good on cleans?

 

[EugeneSmasher]

Not sure. Haven't tried it personally, but I've heard good things about it. Just that since it is a do-it-all amplifier with a lot more features and tones than the SG-10, I'm not sure if it works well with pedals or multi-effects processors.

 

[mcuosver]

have you tried the sg-10 with a multi-fx units?if it's good,i think i'll be getting the 10 then.

 

[EugeneSmasher]

My Line 6 Floor POD sounds quite good through it actually.

 

[mcuosver]

haha.is it your main practise amp?

 

[EugeneSmasher]

Yup, but I would use it for recording purposes as well. Technically, it's the only amp I possess. :mrgreen:

 

[mcuosver]

nice...must be truly reliable then!

 

[theunknown]

trust me, at ur stage (just getting first gear and stuff), u wont hear the difference.

 

[EugeneSmasher]

Yes, that is true, but with regards to reliability, I'd definitely still recommend Sound Drive. My SG-10 was made in Korea if I'm not wrong - a plus point!
