Recommend a strong, low-watt, single-channel amp /w boost

[skullservant]

And with a simple resistor removal and the addition of a 25k pot, you've got a master volume on it. It's SO simple and can be really made to whatever you want it to be without much work involved

I fucking loved my epi junior. It's dark on lower volume, but turn the volume and you will get nice tube saturation. And they are pretty cheap.

I think I need more than 5 watts

I think 15-20w is the sweet zone for what I am looking for.

the suhr badger 18 would be worth a closer look

Ooh, this one sounds nice. And apparently they have a used one at my local guitar center too XD

With what amp?

[D.o.S.]

He's talking about the Valve Jr.


Also, what're you going to be using this prospective amp for? Recording? Live? Equipment-as-artwork?

[Chankgeez]

Also, google found me this one: http://www.lowwattamps.com/

Yeah, that's more what I think of when I think about "low watt".

He excuse me sir! Need big watt amp kinda guy. I was happy with it back then. Now you're making me sad, and I don't even own the amp anymore.

Probably of no interest/help to you, but, in that case:

Look at his limited edition amps, specifically his Tweed Deluxe and Deluxe Reverb replicas. They're supposed to be very good. I'm GASSING for 'em.

I like Ampeg V4's.

Joke all you want. I've got an Ampeg AC-12 that fit the bill perfectly.

[DaveLawrence]

The problem with recommending vintage stuff is the lack of availability.

That's why I didn't suggest the AC-12 in the first place.

What's your price range?

[Zounds Perspex]

maybe you could look at something like an 18-watt Marshall with a treble boost.

I love my Bogner Duende 15W 1 X 12 combo.
You have channel A and channel B... and can combine both (A + B) (which I use as a boost).
The reverb and the trem are killer.
But it's not cheap.

[DaveLawrence]

Just got back from trying a Suhr Badger 18 combo.

That amp is exactly what I was looking for.
