Alright so my gear is really getting quite old and I'm planning on buying a new amp around Xmas. I like tube amps and is like it to have the capability of going band level loud but most of its life will be recording and practicing. Ideally I like recording late at night so I have been using the pre amp out into my FireWire recording preamp into my Mac. So it's making no noise. I wish I could crank it up and mic it but that's not possible.

I have a bunch of equipment that is like to get rid of in its place like cellestion cabinets, pedal boards and older amps.

If you had around $1000 plus what I could sell what would you get?

I don't know what your budget is but I'd look for a decent 50w Plexi style amp, for higher gain just boost with an OD pedal.


In the big bux high end side of things is a 100w Suhr Sl68



or towards the other end of the spectrum (but still out of the high volume manufacturing made in china range)

Ceriatone 50 w Plexi Lead
