    Default WTB amp - 500-1500 quid - what ya got? ;)

    After selling a bunch of stuff recently, I have money burning a hole in my pocket and I'm possibly in the market for a good, high end amp. Preferrably a maximum of 50w output, less is fine, don't want anything much lower than 30 though as I'll be gigging it. Combo preferred, but will consider heads. My current main amp is an Orange AD30, fancy something voiced a bit differently, perhaps a tighter bottom end and more 'American' - Fender, Mesa etc. Would love something PTP, but it's not a dealbreaker.

    Let's hear your suggestions!

    On the Triple XXX - nah, sorry dude, far too much wattage - have just sold my last 100w head and promised myself I'll never go up that high again, simply impractical for gigging in my experience. I play a lot of small places where even 50w can be overkill. I like to get my power tubes cooking rather than relying on preamp distortion!

    On the Jubilee - how much are you asking?

    ENGL Screamer 50 combo.

    Amazing amp which can do fender-esque cleans, hi gain metal type stuff and everything in between.

    I used it extensively as a hard/classic rock amp though, and it never let me down :-)

    It also comes with the z-5 footswitch, giving you access to all 4 channels, reverb and a solo boost.


    Let us know.
