I don't fully have it set yet. I can't see myself being able to spend much more than 500-600 but if I could spend less and still get what I need/want I would love it. A wife and two kids don't lend themselves to lots of amp investment. So, lets say between 300-550. That should be good enough of an estimation for now.
Most 5 watt amps on the profit margin oriented retail market are just plain P.O.S. I haven't found one yet that is worth the trouble or that is anything more than a novel toy. Let me know if you find different results...... Now, a real vintage black face Champ is a whole nother story, along with the real Super Champs! WOW!
You aint gonna gig with a 5 watt amp. If you do you will wonder why you bought a 5 watt amp.
For your money you can compare side by side the Super Champ XD with the Vox VT50. The VT50 will be the most versatile and easy to dial in amp you can find in your price range, with a power soak built in for bedroom volumes and will still have enough full power to do any church gig. Plus you can save your settings and sounds, andplug in to a bigger cab. Put the right premium speaker in it and it will impress you. For the money, in that class of build quality and budget versatility, nothing beats it yet......
