Hello folks. So ive been working with some dudes. Trying to make some music and we already got some gigs dates around winter time. Which means, ill need some gear. My main focus right now is getting a new amp for gigs and rehearsals. Because right now all I got is an almost 10"years old roland cube. Bugdet is around 1200€ or 1350usd. But I have no idea what to look for that can provide the sound that I have in my head. I am not looking for something high gain or metal and I could care less about build in effects. I am just looking something with a good clean and some dirtiesh clean/over drive that you could bite with. I am sorry being this vague. But I am pretty noob when it comes to this kind of stuff. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I would find an amp with solid state amplification , yes you give up a little tone , but for reliability , and on the tone side only you would probably even be able to tell. I would start with a Harley benton 212 cab which are getting great reveiws for a few https://www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_g212_vintage.htm which would leave a good budget left for an amp and a few pedals |

1200 euros can get you new Marshall tube combo with money to spare. Good clean and dirty tones.
The origin 50 is only about 700 euros via Thomann. A marshall dsl40 is probably 800 euros. *Personally, I'd go with a tube amp. If you take care of them and don't bang them around when you transport them, they last plenty long. Don't order one to be delivered unless you can service a damaged tube socket yourself. Buy from a shop and get a warranty. Lotta options for quality gear in your price range. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

You won't get wrong if you go for any Fender, Marshall or Vox combo.
Check Fender's amp demos playlist, just as an example: -------------------- My lessons
