Looking for a practice amp

[Tomm Williams]

I'm looking for a small (10-15 watt) practice amp for rehearsals with my rock band. We play at low volumes in rehearsal so 15 watts is probably overkill. What this amp does need is 3 channels, clean-dirty-boost and it needs to be footswitchable. It also needs to be small/portable/light as possible. I have a AC15c1 and a HR3 but want something lighter for this purpose. I don't want to take my pedals with me (or even one pedal) I want the amp to have what I need as described. oh..................sound quality isn't a strong priority here.

Suggestions ?

The only thing I can think of would be one of the Blackstar ID series amps. It's going to be really tough to get three channels in such a low-wattage amp. If you guys have a PA, take a look at the Tech21 Flyrig 5 or Flyrig 5 RK; if i were in your shoes that's how I would go, plus you now have a small great-sounding backup if your amp goes down on a gig.

Not quite what l spec'd but the price was too good to pass up. Just found an excellent condition Line6 Spider II with the 4 button footswitch shipped for $95.00. 30 watts and a single 12" but only about 30lbs so it should work.

Hard to argue with $95.

Fender Mustang. (Even if it is solid state).

Great sounds, multiple modelling channels (from Fender cleans to dirt and anything in between), effects, inbuilt tuner .... great price!

I was gonna recommend the Mustang.
