Mini Amps

[Zundfolge]

The Danelectro looks the most "blues appropriate" ... maybe splurge though and get a Pignose.

I have a Danelectro nifty fifty that is in almost perfect shape. I tried to learn for a bit back in the day but realized guitar is not for me. It's just sitting in my basement if you're interested in an amp for cheap ($50 with longgg cord?).

I have the micro-stack Marshall. It doesn't sound too bad and even has a belt clip. Unless extreme portability is important though, I'd watch craigslist for a small Peavey or Crate 10-15 watt amp.

Oranges have notoriously good sound, but I don't know how it will sound for blues.

A small tube amp,overdrive it a bit, to get a nice blues fuzz. After all as the old saying goes,"tone is in the ear of the beholder" or sumpin like that.

Thanks Nogaroheli but that is bigger than what I'm looking for. I'm also looking for portable battery units. I will keep it in mind if I go to a bigger amp.

The Pignose looks interesting. Although there is no adjustability. Does the Marshall unit's volume turn up to 11? I haven't found anything with tubes. We'll see how the CBG goes. A tube amp would be a whole 'nuther project.

I'm still looking at maybe re-boxing the amp into a cigar box.



This was about the only thing I've found with tubes and cigar boxes.

I have an older Danelectro mini amp that I haven't played since about 1998. Its in good shape and collecting dust in my closet, I can get some info and pics if your interested.
