PunkKitty Posted Wednesday at 09:42 PM Posted Wednesday at 09:42 PM (edited) I recently got a deal on one of these. The reviews were good, so I bought it. It's loud AF and has a lot of great tones. It models a Dual Rectifier and a Fender of one kind or another. It's lightweight, so all I need is this, my multi effects unit, and a speaker cabinet. I use my old ZT Lunchbox for that. The amp stopped working a while ago, so I made it into a cabinet. It has a 6 inch 100 watt speaker 8 ohm speaker in it. So most of my setup can fit into a backpack. I love tube amps, but at this stage in my life, portability is very important. I just don't want to carry a lot. Here's a link to the Amazon page for specs. https://a.co/d/aOcxqkO Edited Wednesday at 09:43 PM by PunkKitty 1
rwinking Posted Thursday at 03:57 PM Posted Thursday at 03:57 PM That's pretty cool. Like you, I love tube amps. I still play through them for the most part. However, I have done a couple of gigs on my Quad Cortex run through a Line 6 Powercab +. I hate to admit it but it is pretty damn good. While playing through tubes mostly, I have a back up system that I carry. I picked up one of those Carvin 100W stereo pedal amps a few years back. It seems similar to yours except this one is nothing but a power amp so I also carry a POD Express, so if amything goes wrong I have a complete amp and FX that fits in my hand. I actually had to use it at a gig once and it was a relief given that my recurring nightmare is one where I am on stage about to start and my amp isin't working. I fully accept that there my be a Freudian sexual interpretation to the dream about my equipment failing but I think it is about my amp. 1
DetroitBlues Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago Can't deny some of these small solid state amps can get the job done. Never played anything from Hotone, but they have a lot of good stuff out there that is inexpensive but makes some great sounds. I personally have a Quilter Interblock 45 as an emergency backup amp for playing live. I've had to use it in the past and it worked fabolously. I would assume this little guy also packs a serious punch and can be a primary on-the-go lightweight amp or as a backup.
