Every few months, I feel the need to find another "small" amp to compliment my Bassman LTD. After a year of heavy gigging, I have the Bassman as locked in as possible for a non-gear head, but I still crave a small amp that can compete on stage. Something that can be mic'ed front of house, but I can hear without monitors.
More specifically, I want an amp with a good onboard reverb. It needs to get as loud (or louder) then a Pro Junior, be road worthy, a good harp amp, and lightweight. A Blues Jr. perhaps? Try to keep any suggestions under a $1,000.
We reguarily play rooms with sound guys, and sometimes the Bassman is overkill. I have a Kalamazoo, but it isn't loud enough. It also isn't as sturdy as other amps. It totally rocks, but I like it too much to mess with it at gigs.
I use dynamic mics, don't want to use pedals, and like the clean headroom the Bassman gives me. I know there are a lot of great amps out there, but often times they weigh nearly as much as my Bassman. If I wanted to lug a 40lbs plus amp, I'd just bust out the LTD.
Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!
