Grem Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 With Black Friday deals rolling around, I thought about asking this here: I have been asked by a family member to advise them on what kind of amp can he get that is a tube amp, is around $300 - $400 range, and can get a sound like (this is his description) "Looking for a dropped D , satan clearing his throat, straight from the bowels of hell kinda thing" Any ideas suggestions where to start looking as far as brands? And the best deal on that amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be checking Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Reverb, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are willing to budge on the specs (such as tube) then something like this would likley be promising paired with a 12 inch cab https://www.guitarcenter.com/Diezel/VH-Micro-30W-Guitar-Amplifier-Head-Black-1500000361598.gc?cntry=us&source=4WWRWXGP&gclid=CjwKCAiA4veMBhAMEiwAU4XRr9VHk-ahvQanM8HW7VU7TJ1-803WnDUpjajY2tImOKsdY93NpeSEWRoC1fcQAvD_BwE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollux Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 for that price you can find an old hughes & kettner Warp 7 (solid state but beats many tube amps), or a Warp T if you are lucky (I got mine for 400€) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
