Hey everyone, been lurking for a while but took the plunge.
I'm 'between amps'. If I told you what amp I have right now, I might get banned immediately!

Ok, I had a Twin Reverb but sold all 65lbs of it. My back appreciates the loss, the ears not so much.

...it's a Rogue Stereo Chorus 40. All silicon. The clean channel is sweet, surprisingly - but the dirty side, oh, it is nasty with a capital Ugly.
A buddy of mine's been suggesting a Koch Studiotone XL...

Tbh, I haven't heard of either of them. Are you looking for something? What do you want it for, and what's your budget?

Rogue.... wow. Let us help you.... :lol:

Yup - ideally, I'm looking for a small combo under a grand for jams. (blues, classic rock)

Could be worse - could be a Rouge Stereo Chorus 120; same sh*t, but louder!
I had a Peavey Backstage Plus as a kid that was worse than this Rogue actually...

Fender Deluxe Reverb 68 You can get one used, for $800

Or, a Boss Katana 50 watt combo - it's got enough bells and whistles to keep you busy for hours

The Boss Katana is one I hadn't considered, & at half the weight of the Fender, I'll check it out for sure - thanks!

Marshall dsl40c is also well worth considering.

I'll second this. Great amp for short money. Look for one with a Creamback in it and you're all set.

JerEvil · Post by **JerEvil** » Fri Jul 28, 2017 7:26 pm

Yeah man, if budget is an issue, grab a Katana. They sound great and punch well above their price point.

This was a quick clip of my Katana 100 head with Crate 1x12. Cab has a Celestion K100 in it. Amp is rock for days.

I STRONGLY recommend the Quilter stuff as well if you already have some effects you like. They are amazing little amps and weigh in under 10lbs.

The Quilter Mach 2 looks like a strong contender, thanks.

I found a Kustom KGA 10FX that just went on sale, so I checked it out.
Pretty darn good for a 10W SS amp.

Fixed, and +1

Best advice - hold off another purchase for a few weeks until you've had a chance to get more info on various amps available (and loved by the forum - for good reason). Know your budget (and try to double it if you can).

...and just ignore Dave when he gets all agro. It's all good here

Blues Junior. Hands down the best amp for that money for what you want...

It is a beauty. Probably hard to go wrong there.
I've been borrowing amps, & that's one of the top contenders.

ajaxlepinski · Post by **ajaxlepinski** » Tue Nov 21, 2017 4:36 pm

BenG with the NecroBump reply for the WIN!! AWESOME!! :rawk:

What amps have you been borrowing? Just curious to know which you like and which you don't.

The Blues Jr. got a 9/10 for my purposes I have to say.
Right now I have a Mustang 1 v2 in the house:

The FUSE software is a surprise. Editable 'sag' and tube bias emulation, who knew?
The presets it comes with are over the top, but resetting them gets some sweet sounds considering it's SS.
Substantial bass response & volume given the small spr.
Overdriving the input results in digital armageddon.
17lbs. May have a winner.

RyanDistortion · Post by **RyanDistortion** » Tue Nov 21, 2017 9:46 pm

I own a mustang and it does everything but high gain pretty ok. I like it enough to not sell it because the resale is dog shit and it has enough convincing tricks.

I'll allow it, Ben.
