Re: Any guitar players here?
Why do you need more? 90W should be more than you need for anything. If you need to play a show where you need more volume, they'll just mic your amp and put it through the PA anyway. You're not going to get anything as big as you're looking for that sounds good for 400 bucks unless you come across some crazy used bargain.
Which model fender amp are you using now? There's a whole range of quality from complete [censored] (any of the new solid-state digital-fx crap) to [censored] incredible (twin reverb). The Blues Jr. is a pretty solid amp for a couple hundred bucks. It's 15W, which seems small, but it's an all tube amp, and gets a lot louder than you'd expect. Plus it's good for recording, in that you can really push the levels and dirty it up without also knocking down your walls.
Just whatever you do, don't go buy some Crate because the price seems great and it's got a bunch of crazy effects. You WILL regret it.
There are 3, and only 3, guitar amps everyone should ideally own and use:
- some sort of Marshall DSL or TSL, NOT a Valvestate.
- Fender Twin Reverb
- Vox AC30 or AC15TB
These are not cheap amps, but you can get stuff along those lines for less.
