I've pretty much always had a DC or Recto.
I'm looking for something different.
I want 50 watts max (although I love 100 watts) for a backup/practice amp. I have a 2x12 Rivera combo that weighs 100 pounds. I don't need another boat anchor, otherwise, I would get a Roadster combo.
It has to be a combo.
I'm thinking Express + 5:25 or Nomad 55
I am fully aware of the Nomad's shortcomings, but I'm pretty sure I can handle it.
Which amp would you guys choose and why?
I play in an all original band that gets pretty heavy, but not metal. I would say that the heaviest we get would be Incubus or Jimmie's Chicken Shack.
We have lots of clean and dirty parts in our songs.
I also need a loop that is flawless and works well with a G-Major.
Here's how I see it:
Nomad - decent amp that needs some help to make it shine. crappy reverb, buzzy distortion, etc., but a good foundation for a mod platform.
I do really like the looks of the new Express + 5:50 though!
Express - I had the 1x10 combo and it just didn't work with my band at all. The burn channel just couldn't keep up with a medium volume practice.
