Looking for a small tube amp... help?

No problem K-Lub. What is your zip code and I will get an estimate for you. As far as the reliability I have not had any problems with mine. I actually have not played it in a while since I picked up my new amp, in fact it has not even left the house in like 2 months.

Zip code is 98221

It would be about $60 and would get there in about 6 days via UPS ground

*cough* Wow... errr.. owch. I figured it would be something up there. Alright, give me another hour or two to decide and i'll have your answer. The deal is pending on me selling my current amp (Fender FM212R), which I just listed on craigslist yesterday night. I already have one person emailing me who is interested, he hasn't got back to me yet. I imagine it will sell soon, it's going for a good price. Would you be okay waiting a few days or however long it takes me to sell my amp if I want yours?

EDIT: Alright, I would love to buy it. I just need to sell my amp first, which I'm sure won't take long, if that's okay.

No problem K-Lub. It's just sitting around collecting dust. Just let me know when you get everything all set.

Okay, thank you so much. So far I've received my 3rd scam reply to my ad. Craigslist sure has gone to the dumps these days! I'll let you know the instant I get the money... trust me, I want your amp

Okay so I received some extra money through a side job I didn't expect to do, I decided that I want a Vox AC4 combo instead. I'm really sorry to go back on buying the Epi from you.

I'd check out the Fender Super Champ XD while you're in the store. I bought one last month and love it. I was looking for a small light tube amp for smaller gigs or jams at people's houses. I tried the AC-4 with both the 8 and 10 in speakers. It sounded pretty boxy to me and wasn't very flexible in terms of different sounds. I plugged into the SCXD on a whim and fell in love. Since then two of my friends have bought them as well. Two of us are seasoned guitarists that regularly lead worship at services and events. I've started using it to lead worship and have been leaving my AC15 at home. I also lead worship at The Cross Worship Ministry once a month and the line out to the board worked beautifully in that venue as well. I look forward to trying it the next time I do a prison ministry gig where you have to move gear in and out through multiple security levels quickly.

What do you think of it compared to an AC4 combo for playing pedals through it?

Dbmaj7 · 10-26-2009, 06:51 AM

I never tried the AC4 with pedals so it is hard to say. My main concern with the AC4 was the amount of clean headroom. Another concern was having to put the delay pedal in front of the amp if it was going to break up to early and turn muddy. The Super Champ XD does pretty well at getting over our drummer and staying clean. I have some of my signal rolled back in the monitor as well which helps... it also gives me a better idea of my tone at the board.

That said I think the AC-4 is a nice little amp. I'm certainly a fan of Vox tones. The portability is a big plus... I would suggest a 10" speaker though.
