Yeah. The Trademark 10 allows for both a decent direct sound and a decent mic'ed sound. However, I'd personally still prefer a good low power tube amp. If you can't afford the tube amp, the Trademark 10 is a good compromise.

I agree. I've got the Tech 21 SansAmp GT2 Tube Amp Emulator and it's nice but, I prefer the real thing better also.
 
Second that

A pignose G40V. I am getting one tonight for 150.00 :) Uses a 10' driver but will run a 4x12 cab nicely.

What style music? The trademark 10 is a little whimpy for hard rock IMHO

I'm a bass player, and I'm just getting the guitar amps for my little home recording studio. I heard a little pignose amp years ago. A guy at a state park I was camping at had one that ran on batteries, and it sounded pretty dam good.
 
Hey, I frequent these boards, but haven't posted until recently. I'm a veteran musician and have recorded several albums in studios ranging from crappy to world class.

For a small recording amp bang for the buck, the Fender Pro Junior is great. Seriously. I bought mine for $200, put a Jensen re-issue speaker in it (the one if comes with is kinda weak) and it sounds GREAT. Two knobs, all tube, great tone, low volume.

I'm a guitar player, and an old school tone freak, so I wouldn't touch a solid state amp, I find them two dimensional and bland.

But the Pro Junior is a great little tracking amp.

I have a little Pignose amp that puts out 40 watts. It’s small, but has enough power to drive a bigger cabinet. Little fucker is loud. Beats the Fender Champ I have. Unfortunatelly I haven’t done much with either as I use my POD or the guitar effects in the Roland VS most of the time. I had a little solid state GH, I think that’s what it was…wish I had kept it now. We used a small miced (sm57) solid state Peavey for a recording, and it came out sounding really great.
 
i have gotten fantastic results out of a peavey transtube bandit for recording...the sudio pro is a smaller version of the same basic amp.
 
monty, thanks but I'm looking for tone not volume.

jimistone, I've never really cared for the sound of the Peavey amps I've heard so far, is that Peavey amp a tube amp?
 
No DJL, the peavey is a solid state amp....the best solid state i've heard so far.

I also have a Fender hot rod deville tube amp that sounds great...but, with some tweaking the peavey will hang with it in a studio setting.
 
That Gibson Explorer is 15 watts rms across one 12 inch speaker, all tube, spring reverb plus tremolo. I wish they still made them.
Wish you luck on finding one. Dani
