dude if you need to practice at all it’s you that’s the problem, not the amp*cracks knuckles, stomps on tube screamer, stumbles through out-of-tune blues solo*

practice room amps have 90 percent more beer inside of them than your average amp

Yeah. For me it’s bass amps that either give too much boom or too much clank no matter how I set them.

what's a practice room amp, like a tiny low wattage thing? I have a teeny fender pro junior that's the absolute bomb

when i bought my house and had enough space to start goofing off with electric guitars again i bought a VHT special 6. flexible wattage and power modes so i don't scare the cats. i very rarely think about it which is the hallmark of a good guitar amp imo.

I recently bought a used Vox Pathfinder 15R which absolutely smokes. I've never heard such a good solid state amp (and it has a real spring reverb).https://i.imgur.com/frkYKE0.jpg

Have you guys seen the Nikki sixx web show about riffs? I saw the one with Scott Ian , who busts out his Malcolm young Gretsch, pretty good

That just popped up in my youtube recs today. I'll have to check it out.

Pretty sure it's one of the standard issue backline amps of history that's left to molder in a dank rental practice space.

There's a Pathfinder 4x8" stack on Craigslist here but I can't find the time to drive two hours to where it's located (if it's even available).

Fucking hell, I didn't even know they made a Pathfinder stack.
