What would you guys recommend for a guitar amp for the Ultra GS that I had bought last week? |

what do you think of the Peavey Backstage Amp for $50. or the Crate Guitar head amp GX 1200 for $100?
Are they all practice amps?
how about the marshall mini stack electric guitar amp? |

| I have a couple of Roland mini-stacks for sale, model gc405 w/gc405x cabs... they are practice amps/stacks w/switchable lead/overdrive and tube emulation and are rated at 25w for top head/combo, and at 35w with the extension cabs connected, 8x5" drivers per stack. and they have a real effects loop and direct outs.. you can even cascade them, or just use the input in the loop for clean power..bypassing/ignoring the preamp circuit, include G. Lynch speaker cables..... $89 plus shipping..per stack... but check your local sources first, you might find a better deal.

Location: Jet City | Crossbow, what sort of sound are you looking to get? It makes a big difference if you're doing blusey and more classic rock, or if you're wanting to do heavy metal Metallica kind of stuff. |

Location: Utah | We've got a Roland Cube 30, and for the money it is a pretty good little amp. Enough power for a mid sized room, and OK emulations of different type of amps for various classic tones. The effects are ok, like reverb and chorus.
I wouldn't call it a professional grade amp suitable for using in the studio, but for home and small gigs it is fine. A good value for the small $. |
