Amp recommendations?

DAEDULUS

Would like to play this kind of warmth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mOO4rdyTWE

and other stuff like hendrix and even some rory gallagher if one amp can manage that ?

Budget should be around €300-400, no need for anything crazy powerful... just bedroom jammin

TBH, well.. you can probably already tell but I'm a total noob to amps.. atm all I have is a Marshall 15fdx that I got from my friend for 50squid so ANYTHING else is a tradeup I suppose lol

Thanks for any help

This would do the job > http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=79657
A tremolo pedal would be nice a addition, even still with that it'd be under your budget.

The amp is 15w but it's a tube amp, it would sound MUCH louder than your Marshall.

+1 to that choice, but also bear in mind that it will still be loud for bedroom usage, shouldn't be overly loud, but damn loud for a 15w. I've found my Fender Champion 600 (5watt) to be perfect for bedroom levels, you can get a gorgeous "cranked" tone out of it, and it's still loud. As an amp, it does need some work out of the box, but seeing that i've seen them going for £129 in the UK it's definitely a cheaper option.
That said, you wouldnt be disappointed with the pro junior, great little amp.

That Champion 600 would do the job too, forgot about that.
Anyways, you should be looking towards a tube amp with a "Fender style circuit" to get that tone.

This might interest you as it may be beneficial to get something with a little more power if you eventually want to venture outside your bedroom.

But a +1 for the recommendations from the other lads spot on gear for what your looking for.:)

blackstar ht5,5 watt head or combo with headphones out.i have the head version and am very happy with it.the headphones out is great for late night playing.it also only uses only two valves,so its cheap to revalve.there are two channels with middle,bass and treble.it also has a knob that takes you from marshall to fender sound within reason.altogether a great little amp.

+1, got the combo version yesterday. To even consider anything else given your criteria would be foolish,.
