    You could also go with one or more of the Vox amPlug models: AC30, Classic Rock, Twin, Heavy Metal, Acoustic. Each around $30-40. Plugs right into your jack, runs for 12-15 hours on 2 AAA batts, has a headphone jack, gain, vol and tone controls. Cheep and cheerful.

    Judging from the other discussion you have going there it seems to me that you're only starting out playing. In which case, that's a real big amp. I mean, it's probably a great deal if you have to keep up with a drum kit or something.

    I'd really recommend something you can plug headphones in to as well as your guitar, because you'll probably get a lot more hours enjoyment out of it without feeling self conscious or annoying others. If you have a smart phone the iRig and garage band or whatever is pretty hard to beat for a combination of decent amp models and effects that fits in your pocket so you can get your rock on while strolling the park or whatever

    I've had a look at it and it seems a bit bog to me?

    Anyone recommend a good practice amp?

    • Ron "Oily" Sprague > Glen Irven March 17, 2014 at 10:22pm
      Does it work, though? Didja put it through its paces?

      The Kid is spot on with the iRig advice. I record exclusively with the iRig mic and guitar dongle into an iPad with headphones, and re-amp practically every tune I do with the amp models in GarageBand and / or AmpliTube.

      Nother way to go is a small practice amp that runs on batteries. The Vox DA-5 and Roland Micro Cubes are pretty popular, relatively budget friendly, and have both amp modeling and built-in effects. eBay US has a DA-5 for $90; the Micro Cube is running for $25-150.

    Ask him what's wrong with it ;-). Seriously, though, that's not a bad price. While It's overkill for a CBG (or any other guitar, for that matter, unless you play arena stages - it is a workingman's club gigging amp), at 40 pounds it's a steal. As long as it works properly.

      Cheers I'll go and have a look at it :D
