The inevitable cycle of interest in gear and playing seems to be coming around again. Triggered by me sorting out my sleepout and making space for a proper home office space since I’m working almost solely from home these days.
I cracked open my pedalboard case and forgot I actually had some cool pedals that never get used. The only amp I currently own is my old and trusty Boss Cube 30 from about 15 years ago! Haha
On the rare occasions I do record or play electric I use Neural DSP plugins on my pc. But running my pedals into an audio interface and out of my studio monitors just doesn’t have the same vibe or feel.
So I’m thinking about picking up a small, cheap low wattage tube combo. The simpler the better. I’m thinking no more than 10w max. it’s a small space (10m2) and sound deadening is almost nil.
I just want something that I can plug into and noodle and create loops and mess with my pedals.
10” speaker probably? Something like a champ/tweed style circuit? Not expecting ample clean headroom, but would like it have some clean and get progressively dirtier and sweeter as I crank it up.
Don’t want to spend a lot. Open to kits and random brands etc. don’t want to have to mod anything to “get the best out of it”. Would prefer it’s just a cool sounding small amp ready to go.
Appreciate any suggestions/recommendations! Thanks all
