    Laney are definetly brilliant, you can get a decent Laney HardCore for that easily.

    Laney do indeed Rock, nice and simple and sound great, Fenders sounds great too but are LOUD and expensive, Marshalls are nice but expensive too, Mesa Boogie is :D

    Marshall AVT50h comes with a head so u got a 50 watt amp + head for around 500 yo yos ok its expensive but save up for a bit and you can get another one, ooh ooh look now you can connect em and make a mutant 100 watt amp eh eh?

    Amps are generally expensive for loud ones :(
    I've used a laney halfstack type thingy before seemed ok.

    Hrmm I got me an Marshall AVT 275 for 666e wheh !
    Em Jesus go ****ing second hand shopping with your guitar in tow,buy anything with valves replace em straight off.
    And why the hell would you wanna combine two 50 watt heads to make a 'mutant' 100 watt amp jesus like ( *hands over some money* "Throw that in the toilet there")

    The old Marshalls before the AVT's the Valvestates if you can get yer hands on one are cheap as hell the last time I looked,mind you they can be a tad unreliable I blew the **** out of one,but that happens on ocassion,and the ****ers have built in distortion,2 OD channels + clean where as the new models as in the AVT'S have 2 OD channels,Clean Channel,Acoustic simulator and *looks at amp* 16 built in digital effects.

    So in conclusion,take your ass and your guitar out shopping.

    Lots of Love

    Where are you all getting these deadly cheap amps from?
    Every time i've gone looking there dead expensive EVERYWHERE(lie)
    Altho there is one shop i haven't checked because i hate the staff

    Keep in mind i live in dublin and was looking to buy an amp brand new so where should i be looking? I don't need a pre-amp type thingy i can use pedals/effect unit
    Looking for an amp that would do small venues?

    I was told that i should buy a second hand amp as they are hard to damage and so on, but i don't trust anyone!! and would prefer a brand new amp is this my problem?

    I'm selling a Trace Elliot Super Tramp. It's a 100 watt combo with clean and distorted channels with boost and footswitch. Celestion speaker, looks lovely sounds lovely.

    I have to ask 320 for it because I need the money for a recording I'm working on at the moment, but it's worth it.

    There are reviews at http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data/Trace_Elliot/Super_Tramp-01.html

    I believe the company was sold to Gibson, so they don't make the same amp any more. They've changed it slightly.

    The picture shows a head, just picture it as a combo.

    Email me at selephonic@hotmail.com if you're interested
