Boo I Need a Cheap Amp...

[veteransdaypoppy]

So I joined this dude's band ( http://www.myspace.com/tommhart ) and he uses an Omnichord to get some fucked up sounds. We make a good team cuz I can do the things live that he does on his record with my stompboxes. Unfortunately, however, the dude's gonna play drums and I'm gonna play the Omnichord and run it through a couple of effects. I'll end up playing the lead guitar, too.

Anyway, it's a four-piece and we play pretty loud. Not to mention that he really beats the fuck out of the drums.
I need a cheap amp to run the Omnichord into. I tried plugging it into my Twin Reverb but when I play guitar and fuck with the thinger at the same time, (which will be necessary) both instruments start sounding shitty. And I don't wanna fuck up the speakers.

I'd need something in the $100-$200 but it'd have to be pretty loud. I mean, I'd want a kind of combo-guy that can keep up with my Twin and Tomm's ridiculous drums. And every experience I have with plugging any kind of digital instrument (elaborate keyboards included) has been horrible. I always get this weird kinda hum swishy noise that is just frustrating with every amp I've encountered. Any advice?

maybe like a fender frontman 212 ?

or u could pickup like a di box and plug it into that and run it into your pa or like a speaker in general.

get a cheap used bass combo. i'm talking like a peavey or crate kinda job. the omnichord shouldn't need an amp with its own character. a 1x12 or 1x15 would be good. these kinda amps seem to be all over pawn shops here for 100-200 $. check it out

Hartke key or bass amp.

hartke is really good at not adding unwanted tone, or generally any sort of tone to your instrument. you can probably find them decently cheap. they're fuckin loud too.

If you want to go the behringer route, it's pretty much the same deal.
