Amp suggestions?

[tomjackson]

OK. Maybe I should sell my 335, get a cheaper guitar and a VALVE amp!

Someone has recommended the Laney Lionheart L20 head and matching 2x12 cab. Anyone have experience of these? Good, rich cleans? Loud enough for gigging?

Cheers.

Don't sell your 335, keep it and save for a nice amp!  I've tried the 5W Laney Lionheart and have a VC30.  I should imagine 20W will be enough for gigging, especially through a 2x12 cabinet, but if you want really loud cleans it probably won't be for you.  The Laney's seem to ease into chime and crunch at about half volume with HB's.  They are really nice amps but at nearly £900 for head and cab it gives you a lot of options.

I've got a thing about Fender Super Reverbs at the moment.  I played one with a Tele the other day and it sounded HUGE!
Clean but fat, warm but defined.  Too big for me though  :lol:

I agree with that!  Selling your 335 to get a cheaper guitar would be cutting off your nose to spite your face.  Unless you're not happy with the 335?

agreed. I really don't understand why they didn't release a 20 watt 1x12 combo (at not much more than the price of the 5 watter, of course!). as it is, they're very nice, but a bit expensive. you're not too far off e.g. cornfords (and other boutique stuff) at that kind of money, to be honest...

i agree about not selling the 335 either. :)
