hi,
i'm looking for a lower wattage recording tube amp combo as a platform for my fuzz pedals.
does anyone have experience with the windsor studio? it looks interesting.
bugera v22 is another candidate i guess.
any pointers are appreciated.
thanks

You Need a cab though.

not a bad amp, if thats what you've got then use it. Not my favorite pedal slave, but on the middle setting (whatever that was, texas maybe? the cactus? idr) it's pretty dece as a pseudo fender

I've only played the full-size Windsor head, but it was really dirty. It really depends how clean you want your dry signal to be. Some people want really clean amps for a pedal platform, others like it already distorted. The Windsor was pretty damned distorted when I played one.

My experience with a friend's Windsor is that it doesn't do clean and it's a little loose in the bass register

thanks guys.
I like my fuzz-followers to be a little dirty already.
The Blackstar HT5C looks interesting, too. I already have a few profiles of it on my Kemper that I like and the ISF feature sounds neat.
I guess I'll give that one a try.

got a good deal on a Blackstar HT-5 head and bought a nice 1x12 cabinet with a wicker cane grille on the 'bay.
sounds great and loves fuzz!
there's a Marlboro Speaker from the 70's in the cabinet that the seller forgot to remove before shipping - he said I should just keep it, and it's quite nice.

An old chair set my family had when I was younger used to have that exact wicker lattice so just looking at that thing is super nostalgic to me.
