Location: Canada | Ok, I know this is not about Ovations (or could it be?) Anyways, I know lots about guitars but nothing when it comes to amps. Usually I just plug it into my mixer which goes out through the monitors or headphones. I'm looking for a little practice amp (15-30W?)for my solidbody electrics. I've looked at Marshall, Fender and Peavey (all the big names of course) so far. I don't really like the Peavey sound. Marshall seems decent and Fender's a warm tone. I want to get something that's a bang for my buck and don't want to spend TOO much as it's only for practicing. Any suggestions anyone? |

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | After reading lots of the threads, it looks like you guys like the Trace Elliot and a few good things have been said about Ecoustic 112 Peavys. I too would like to hear some more comments about amps. I'm looking for an acoustic amp.
Does anybody have any comments on Aslin Dane? |

Location: NJ | the genz benz is a good acoustic amp worth checking out.
as for an electric amp I was using a trace elliot velocette for a couple of years but now I have gone back to my vintage fenders. I am currently using a brown princeton with a celestian 12" vox bulldog copy the amp kills |

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | I love the old Fender Princeton amps as well. The amp I use 90% of the time is the early 1955 version...it has the narrow panel small cabinet; looks like a Champ but has a tone control as well as volume and about a watt more output power. It is completely original, down to the tubes. I know I should do a cap job on a 48 year old amp, but it sounds sooooo good I just hate to mess with it.

| The Fender tubes would be my first choice, as stated before they do have a really warm feel, next the Marshall, for solid state I use a Crate, for the bang/buck I think they have alot to offer in diversity. |
