Hi Guys,
Time to start the amp hunt! Here's what I'm working with:
GUITAR
I recently picked up a Guild T-Bird S-200. (Reissue of 1960s Guild Thunderbird - Funky "gumby" shaped body).
The guitar has a LB-1 Little Bucker pickups. I got the guitar because I wanted a low warm tone, but couldn't handle the weight of a les paul. I especially like playing through the neck pickup.
OTHER GEAR
Boss Reverb pedal
Electro harmonix Qtron Mini Envelope Follower
Catalinbread Octa***** Fuzz
NEEDED: THE AMP
I know nothing of amps, to be honest. But here's what I'm looking for:
-Something that will really bring out the humbuckers for the warm tones of my guitar
-Is compatible with my pedals (will purchase more in the future)
-Is the appropriate size for playing at low volumes and getting the most sound. I live in an apartment with folks below me, and can't crank up the volume. I have a 60 watt bass amp I am playing through and it is way to loud - the volume is kept nearly at zero and I just can't get the pedals or the guitar to show their true sounds/tone.
Price range - Under $1000 if possible, but want something that's of good quality that will last and will bring out the guitar's tones.
Let me know your thoughts! Thanks for your help and feel free to throw me some questions.
Zach
