Dr. Ellwood Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Yeah Vox AC30 should do it.. Geoff can you get one in the UK for that much? what can you get over there in the Marshall line up? http://www.thestringnetwork.com

You should get a Vox AD120VT for £500ish. I can't find a price for an AC30 top boost off hand. >> EDIT: just found it at around £650ish :0( G.

Gifthorse Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Peavey Classic 30? http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse
hamburglar Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 what about hiwatt...? from what I hear they have a great vintage sound... bands like The Killers, Jet, and David Gilmour use them today.. not sure if the nicer ones are in your price range tho... Eat a Peach for Peace..........
AeroG33k Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 AC15 is cheaper with similar sound but less power, isn't it? -Andy "I know we all can't stay here forever so I want to write my words on the face of today...and they'll paint it" -Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon)
Ol Boy Rivers Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I got to agree with everyone here. Im not a huge fan of VOX but what their amps do they do well. I say the AC30, the AC15 is cheaper yeah, But smaller too. You said you want gigging abilitys, The '30 might just be the ticket. Never trouble trouble till' trouble troubles you.
