Gents,
Been getting tube amp jealousy the last few months. I'm gonna set my Transtube Peavey up when I get the new house and if I'm not happy with it I'll bite the bullet and get a 1×12 tube amp around the 50W mark.
Question is, what?
Generally play hard rock, grunge and punk with occasional metal. Tried a Blackstar 40W with a vintage 30 in it today. That was good. Doesn't do metal, but I can solve that will a good pedal. Don't want to spend over £600. Stick to £500 if I can.
Never tried a 2nd hand amp. Risks?
Amp will generally be used for home recording with an SM57 in front of it.
If I gig it will only be pubs and clubs so will only have to compete with the drummer. No need for anything really fucking loud.
