the $500 amp thread

[angry tele]

what amp would you buy if you had $500* and 1 hour to spend it.

*more or less

 

[sleewell]

peavey classic 50 410

 

[angry tele]

vox ac15

 

[Guitar Heel]

I always say used Traynor...

Not really sure what I'd buy new.

 

[Tig]

Vox AC4C1TV 1x10" 4-Watt for $329. That leaves plenty left over for a Celestion G10 Greenback 10" 30-Watt speaker.
I can always use the line out to one of my 1x12 cab's, too.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Peavey Bandit. Spend the $400 on multiple dirt pedals.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

AC15.

AC15.

[Chad]

Since I have my 6v6 amp already, probably an AC15 too.

New or used?
$629.99 for a new one
or $329. for the AC15VR

 

[GilmourD]

I ran into this same question last August.

 

[Modern Saint]

Tough question....

Used either a Traynor or a Jet City combo pending a steal on a great amp doesn't pop up.

New - a Fender Vaporizer

 

[Kerouac]

Ac15. They seem to hover between $500-600 depending on the shop

 

[IamSeaDevil]

Head or combo?

 

[Stratguy]

AC15, definitely.

 

[Denverdave]

AC15 or a used Classic 30.

 

[Ignored Member]

Roland Cube 80. I'm already stocked up on Peavey Classics.

 

[angry tele]

[wagdog]

Peavey classic 30 or 50.

Don't forget the Fender blues/pro junior. I know they're not sexy, but they're dead reliable.
