What kind of Guitar Amp should i get?

Got this question just today... thought someone here might find this helpful... enjoy!

"I am a metal guitarist and i am just starting a band. My current amp is not enough. What amp should i get in a price up to 400 euros??"


Hey Bro, I have a couple of thoughts for you. Since you already have your price range, I would recommend you set three (3) additional criteria for purchasing an amp: 1) Sound, 2) Durability, and 3) portability.

Okay--let's break these down.

1. SOUND: The question here is, "Does it sound awesome?"

2. DURABILITY: The question here is, “Will it hold up?"

3. PORTABILITY: The question here is, "How hard will this thing be to lug around to rehearsals and gigs?"

There are a lot of really nice 50 watt amps (I would recommend that you get at least 50 watts of power) out there that that would do very well in each of the above categories. In the final analysis you have to be the judge. It's all about your tastes. But I would encourage you to check out the "Line 6 Spider", and "VOX Valvetronix" series.

Hope that helps.

Hmmmm.... I don't mean to be mean, but why do you suggest the Line 6 Spider? It is one of the most artificial sounding amps, in my opinion...

I find the Fender Frontman Amp series to be amazing, but that's just my opinion...

I'm sure the fender amps are great!!! I just haven't had much experience with "new" fender amps... the old twin reverbs of the 70s were freakin awesome!
