Title: guitar amps, for underground gigs (small venues only)
Post by: hardcorehope on July 06, 2014, 12:55:50 AM
hi sir/maam.

not a guitarist, but throwing underground shows on our scene, batangas city.

tatanong ko lang po kung may maiisuggest kayo na murang guitar amp and bass guit amp.
, na pedeng gamitin sa mga gigs. maliit lang naman yung venue at pedeng i line in sa mixers, so ndi kelangan na sobra laki yung amp.

possible budget ay 4-6 k per amplifier.

another thing is, ok lang po ba yung assemble or custom made na amp, na ginamitan ng mga speakers like crown or targa,
if ok saan po kaya posibleng magpagawa or umorder nun.

salamat po.  :)

Medyo biased siguro ako dahil kaibigan ko ang mga tiga-Lazer. Pero you can check out their small amps. Na-test ko yung mga Cort amps nila and ok naman.

Stagg ga60
+1

my band's vocalist plays guitar occasionally and uses this amp. reliable and cheap. it's around 6k.

you can get it from The Music Source. (Ali Mall cubao, Festival mall alabang or Marquee Mall, Pampanga)

Stagg is a decent amp for the price.

Though if it's me, I'll increase my budget a bit and get myself a used Peavey Bandit 112 instead.

In my experience, mas ok sakin yung Peavey kesa sa Stagg sa mga gigs.


@ qroon - durability-wise kamusta naman yung amps ng Cort?

@ qroon - durability-wise kamusta naman yung amps ng Cort?

Inuupuan ko yung iba dun (100kg guy) and oks pa naman, he he he. Kidding aside, tiningnan ko ang construction at mukhang ok naman. Kaya gusto yung Cort amps ay parang neutral sounding pag clean (both the bass and guitar amps). I tested them na 0 lahat ang equalization.

4.5k at maganda naman yung quality at tumatagal .

For your budget, I'll go for the STAGG GAR60. really impressed with this amp for the price. takes in pedals very well, nice cleans and EQ +  Reverb are not bad. plus its built like it will last for a long time.

pero tama sila. kung kaya, peavey bandit 112. yan lang yung mga solidstates na feel ko gig worthy. hahahaha most of the SS marshalls i've tried are just... meh. tapos mahap pa :|

kaya ng 30W tube amp yun given that it's a combo amp with a 12 inch speaker.

I've played at a venue that's 3 or 4 saguijos (ginawang unit of measurement. haha) with a 15W tube amp head with a 1 x 12 cab with no problems cutting through the mix and and kept up with the full band setup alongside another guitarist with a 4 x 12 solidstate amp and still had a lot of headroom. So yeah, a 30W amp with a 1 x 12 cab shouldn't have problems with the venue sizes you mentioned.

4-6k budget for an amp is a joke. you won't get an amp, you'd get a toy amp, just like 500 pesos will get you a toy acoustic guitar in the malls.

having said that, i would suggest a zt lunchbox (elevated) for your guitar amp, and for your bass set-up... peavey 12 inch MONITOR speakers and a sansamp bass driver for that amp sound. a real bass amp is gonna cost you 30K minimum

that does not equate to that bro ha. kasi doubling the watts does not necessarily double the volume. tumataas lang ang clean headroom mo.

nah. for me, I won't recommend the lunchbox. namamatay mag-isa yan eh. I've seen one in action and was impressed pero yun nga, kalagitnaan ng set namatay yung amp  :x

The Lunchbox has an issue with a cap or thermal fuse I think. Someone posted the fix here so a minor fix will do the job. I'd recommend the lunchbox kaso masyado na mahal.

Man, sana merong mag benta ng sobrang mura na malaking amps for you to use in your venue. Alam ko ang regular kinds of gigs on that venue are the NYC Hardcore tough guy kind of stuff. Really heavy music with moshing, and the occasional circle pits, tas makikita mo ang amps na gamit ay napakaliit. That venue deserves tube heads and 4x12's! :D

if you get the chance, may cheap brand na b52 ... i think ginagaya nya yung marshall, pero its really loud and very cheap, plus it takes pedals really well. nakikita ko sa ebay na it costs 5K pesos lang minsan lol yun nga lang, ship mo pa yan dito sa pinas.

papaconvert ka pa, hassle, sayang lang. wag na. di ka pa sure kung tama yung gagawin. might as well go for a good AS IS amp like the Goldea or the JC120.

IMHO lang naman yun. the JC120 takes pedals very well. and the cleans are just pristine.

Pero yun nga, since most of the time, boost and OD ka, maybe the goldea is a better fit.

lang.. example+hhmm cguro bloc party?

tpos minsan fuzz ambient reverb +post rock.

minsan drive+boost SRV (lighter version)/buddy guy..

ganun sounds..

so dapat versatile no?

It simply means that a 1 watt amp with a very efficient speaker can sound as loud as a 10 watt amp with a non-efficient speaker. In short, get a speaker with high dB rating to make it sound louder.
