Best practise amp for lead guitar?

DublinWriter · 29-08-2009, 18:19

I'm looking for a good 10W - 15W amp for practising. I'd also be using it for keyboards too.

So far I've looked at the Roland Microcube and the Marshall amps.

Any recommendations? I'm not too pushed about effects.

Microcube ticks all the boxes...great range of sounds.

EDIT: Sorry only noticed you'd be using it for keys also...Not sure how it would fare out there

The microcube is a great practice amp. I only played one once but was blown away by how good it sounded at low volumes.
