So i was looking around on the internet and ive spotted out 2 amps that look interessting to me one of them is a vox AD50vt and the other one i a Line6 Spider 3 (75 or 30). I havent yet been and tested them out in a music store so i was just looking for some oppinions of you guys. The music i like is pretty much anything besides the heavyest if you know what i mean. If you have tips of other amps please share, my pricerange is about 450-500 dollars wich both amps mentioned cost in sweden. Thankful for any help or oppinions You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Will you rehearse with a band? (more watts) Do you have to keep it down cause of neighbours? (less watts, head phones option) Tubes, solid state, hybrid or doesn't matter?

The purpose with the amp is to get more versatility since the amp i own today practically only have volume gain bass and treble... i dont need line out at the momen but colud be usefull in the future, i currently dont play in a band, and i need to be able to use headphones at late night playing, type of amp doesent really mather as long as it is versatile and user friendly You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I also like the Vox sound better than the Line6 sound, but that's a matter of taste. If you can, try them both and then decide. But my tip would be the Vox You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

It's best to try them both and compare tones, you may not like Vox or Line6, this is something that you have to hear. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Requires tweaking but some good tones are there. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
