Looking into a fender primarily because i love the fuzz and power that combines with a strats natural fuzz. at least 100w, preferably usb connectivity but not required, lookin to spend about $200-$700

been looking at the mustang and hot rod series. really curious about the quality of the blues junior and ac30(vox) and if the extra money spent on a 112 super combo would be worth it. lmk guys opinions thanks.

200-700 dollars for 100 watts is fairly limited...as far as tube is concerned

anyway i get some dope fuzz tones with my throbak fuzz haze and my blackheart bh-15h...of course it's just 15 watts which probably isn't powerful enough for your extreme tastes

i have to say though that you probably don't need 100 watts...i mean i don't know how big of venues you're playing, but i've met so many musicians who think they need so much wattage, and i've demonstrated that a few watts go a long ways to them. that said, i don't know your situation as a musician, so maybe you do need that much power. if you don't though, i recommend considering how much power you need tops, and shooting for that. perfect tone

when i was playing guitar (only in my room, never used in a gig), i was using a peavey bandit for metal stuff and a ac30(vox) for everything else. (some low marshall have better reverb, but well)
The quality is good at low volume, as all the ''not-all-tube-amp'', but like derka said, be sure how much watts you need.
100watts for just a ''in my house'' use is abit useless.

If the venue has a PA system, you can just mic'd your small amp and pass the signal threw the sound system of the venue, that way you don't need to crank your sound up (and just use it for your own purpose on stage).

thanks for the advice on the sound system, and yeah its for a club venue.

i got for 225$ a fender vibro champ xd. its a great practise amp and is a tube amp aswell. only 5 watt tubes tho. it has 16 sounds from blues and hot rod sounds. it comes wiith a reverd/chorus/delay/trem/and vibration fx. its great for a low price.

personally i would take a crate vintage edition tube amp or fender twin.

yeah 5watts is way to small, and i want something a little heavier than a champ.





any samples of that crate? i was looking at the 65 reverbs and vintage twins, they sound AWESOME i love the fuzz they have.
