Hi
So I still haven't bought a new amp. I wanted to buy one before Christmas and now we're nearing the end of January. It might have to do with the fact that I was working 50+ hours a week and that I am picking up my new car on Thursday, but still buying an amp is a very serious issue not to be taken to lightheartedly. I guess you all understand.
I basically have narrowed it further down and my favorite is the Marshall JVM 205c (the 1x12" combo). My question is: can anybody give me some more feedback on it. I played and thought is was quite good but not awesome - which is why I am still indecisive. Great crunch, good metal tones, but lackluster cleans...
The other amp choices would be the Laney Lionheart 20 Watt head with a 1x12" cab (I dislike the 5 Watt combo because it lacks headroom for low notes and I keep my main guitar tuned to D standard all the time, plus I have a baritone I like to use from time to time) and the Krank Rev Jr head with a 1x12".
The Laney I couldn't try yet (unfortunately), the Krank is nice but IMO too expensive in the UK for what you're getting, plus it doesn't have a footswitch. But if anybody can give me some feedback I might reconsider.
Any input is appreciated.
(Budget 800 pounds)
