Here’s a short story of my experience with amplifiers, mostly cheap.
I bought a brand new Laney which I sold at a loss at Davis.
My second amplifier is my Blackstar ID BEAM which I’m still using. It is a modelling amp with lots of sound. It is also a surround sound Bluetooth player which I can connect to my CD walkman (yes, my ancient device is still working) too. Keep.
My third amp was a Nux Frontline 15 which came together with the Silvertone. It was a modelling amp that was versatile. Sold.
My fourth amp was a Crate FlexWave 15 that looked vintage. It sounded good for its price and cool look. Sold.
My fifth, sixth and seventh amps were another vintage in the Applause Model 15 (that cost me 15 and is now being used in Cherith), a Marshall MG10 (now with a young gentleman from Cherith) and the Marshall MS-2 mini amp used for display and guitar testing.
My eighth amp is this beautiful red VHT Redline Reverb 20. Its reverb sound and looks are enough reasons for me to keep it for good. On sale.
My nineth amp is an Aroma AG-10A Acoustic Amp that came with the Epiphone Les Paul Special II. On sale.
The tenth amp came in the form of the VOX Valvetronix AD30VT which came in a bundle with another Squier strat and Chinese strat for 50. It is a more versatile modelling amp that packs lots of punch. On sale.
Either the VHT or Vox will stay with the Blackstar.
