Solid state amps

Old Sessions are about the best pure SS amps for the tone you want.

also if you get chance try a 70's vox ac30ss, i had one for years and for a solid state amp it had an incredible amount of warmth on tap and the cleans were awesome.  all the features of a real ac30 except the valves... best bit is they sell for about £200-350.   they have no distortion of their own but mine took pedals really well.  worst bit is the weight!!

That reminds me, I've got an early-'80s Sessionette 75, but it hasn't worked for years.  Wonder if I could get it fixed?

You should get it fixed up. There's an '80s Sessionette '75 in our rehearsal studio, and it's a phenomenally flattering SS amp. Far better than any other I've played. Bright and punchy, but with a real sparkle on the cleans and takes pedals very well. Oh, and LOUD. Not a patch on my 5150-II, mind, but then it'd take a pretty massive solid state rig to achieve that ;)

It's in the post.

But I only had a second class stamp so you won't get it before Christmas.

You're an eternal optimist if you think it'd really get there in time with first class postage, Philly ;)

Blimey, I've never been called an optimist before!  :lol:

If your interested in the Fender Champ. Check these out. I think they are the best reviews of the amp.  its covers all parts of it in lots of detail and its a propper demo not a camera mic type rushed job. This is the 5 W version. Very sweet.
