Low Volume, High Gain

[CHrisP86]

I'm looking for a high gain valve amp that sounds great at bedroom volume with maybe enough volume for small pub gigs.

I don't play metal so I don't need over the top gain. At the moment my top choice is the Mini Rectifier. I've also tried the Orange Tiny and Dark Terrors, Cornford Hellcat and Blackstar Series One.

Anyone got any suggestions of amps I should try?

Thanks

JCA20H depending on how much gain you need..

I used to have a Mini Rectifier and it was great at bedroom volume but I fund it struggling at Gig levels. the Jet City copes at gig level no problem (probably because it's brighter than the Mini Rec)

For me it has to be the H&K Tubemeister 18.

Switchable Wattage and,, with loads of gain on the boost of channel 2.

Also if 18W isn't loud enough you can whack it through the PA.

+1 on the JCA20H - very versatile n for what you get - dirt ( no pun intended ) cheap ...

I would think a Blackstar HT20 would do the job.

I'll second the JCA20H suggestion, and add the JCA22H to the mix (it's the same amp with an effects loop and a second channel with even more gain, which is lovely for solos). Mine turned up yesterday, and it sounds bloody excellent.
