Looking for a new guitar amp


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

First of all, I'm new here, so thank you for having me here! :)

I am looking for a new guitar amp, but I don't have a lot of money to spend on it. Currently I'm playing on a Fender Mustang, but I would like to do a little "upgrade" if you could call it like that. I've found a little blog on 5 guitar amps that are not too expensive (https://guitarclicks.home.blog/2019/08/02/5-guitar-amplifiers-for-beginners/). I've heared the Boss Katana is a good amp to choose and heared a lot of positive things about it for the price.

I am a metal guitarist so I like the amp to have a little bit of a "chugging" sound, if you know what I mean.

 

What do you guys think?

Thank you!

What"s your budget?

 

Are you willing to buy used? Online?

 

Where do you live? (Location affects price and availability.)

 

What bands/guitarists do you want to emulate?

 

Do you have a need for any special features, like headphone jacks for quiet practice, pedal and/or amp modeling, etc?

Something good on the cheap that stands completely on its own. The Katana 100.

 

The 50 is OK but spend a little extra and get the extra headroom and buy the 100. Get the footswitch eventually it gives you twice the available presets. I play high dollar vintage and Modern tube amps. (Vintage because I'm old and have owned these amps a longtime). I gig with the Katana. I prefer my Mesa Boogies for guitar but the Katana does a lot of things well. Acoustic instruments, steel guitars and metal it's a jack of all trades. It chugs. Ola likes the Katana. If you want a cabinet head instead of a combo Thomann sells a Harley Benton 212 cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers for less money than a pair of V30s cost alone.
