I'm currently looking for a new amp.
Before I got a kid, I always love playing music (mostly Blues and rock). After which I realize that my set-up is so impractical in my lifestyle today. (currently own a 50W Valvestate Marshall and Crate V18 2x12's). so basically it's to loud for us especially when the only time I can play is during at night. I tried playing with a headphones and multi-effects just to continue my playing which unfortunately did not work. So now I'm seeking a practical amp for practicing.
Tried looking for a decent small wattage tube amp like orange tiny dark terror, Blackstar HT-5, and Ibanez Tubescreamer amp. All of which are great but they still require lots of volume to produce good tones and would require quite an amount of money. So now I tried my luck with the following amps:
1st choice: Roland 20XL - I really love the clean tones of this one and its versatility but not the effects are to generic and uncontrollable.
2nd choice: Vox Pathfinder - Really cheap but somehow lacking in character. But I'm loving the simplicity
3rd Choice: Line6 spider: Nice and versatile
4th Fender Mustang: I'm really a fan of fender amps (unfortunately, I have not own one yet) but this one sound digital to me.
Please help me decide on this one as I have not played the guitar for more than 2 years. If you guys have other suggestion please also advise.
Thanks in advance.
