The Epi is another great choice. Safe to say the Micro Dark Terror is a corker if a dirty tube amp.I'll just throw in a mention for the orange tiny range. I downscaled when young master ebilpirate arrived, (which explains where I have been for the last six years, if anyone remembers me...), Selling a Mesa MkV, a Burman 502 and replacing them with a den friendly EPi Valve Jr. The Epi was awful... I picked up a Orange Micro Dark a few months ago and it sounds as good as the big boys I sold.
Or as a dark horse, consider the Boss Katana.
I do miss the visceral sensation of playing at gig volume through a big valve amp, where you can feel as well as hear what you're playing. Over the years I've owned or played through various 2x12 combos and the obligatory Marshall 4x12 half stack. That low end thump is glorious.
I've not owned a big valve amp for years, having ceased gigging or jamming with bands some time ago. Over the past 15 years of home-only playing I've owned countless small combos - valve, solid state and modelling amps. Some were disappointing while others were surprisingly good.
As much as the purist in me loves traditional valve amps, if I were considering another amp for home use now, I'd be looking at a solid state option. The Boss Katana sounds well worth a listen.
consider the Boss Katana.
Ah, which one did you see? Did you see the one with Pete Honore doing some sublime clean work? If not, you need to. It is classy playing.Your mention prompted me to watch the Andertons review of the Katana.
Dammit, now I want one!
Lovely playing indeed from Pete Honore. I also watched the other one with Lee and Rob Chapman. On that one the Tele sounded tremendous.Ah, which one did you see? Did you see the one with Pete Honore doing some sublime clean work? If not, you need to. It is classy playing.
