Amp suggestions for gigging

Geir, you put me in mind of the movie "Back To The Future" for various reasons. I might have to download that right now! 1000 watt amp...

I watched like 10 Evil Robot vids, those are tight amps. Gotta play it to decide though, and I'll never find one locally.

You have to watch out for Geir though Tony, he likes everything louder than everything else.

Tony,

I've got a Vox AC30cc2x. Its so loud its scary.

Its a couple of years old now and I'm still finding new tones in it. I have a Boss blues driver pedal but I rarely use it.

I love the warm clean tone and I also love the fuzzy overdriven tones. I've got a channel switcher so I can use both channels with one guitar. When I'm jamming with my son we both plug into it. If you can find one in the shops, I recommend you try one out.

I was looking at the Vox AC15 the day I bought it and tried the AC30 just to see. I changed my mind immediately. I play a strat and it seems the two are made for each other. I have never gigged with it but they are commonly used. I'll often spot one sitting up on stage behind some of the better known players - both old and young.

best of luck with the new direction.

Ian
