Everyone thinks of it as only a practice amp - but I'd be surprised if it wouldn't also suit as a small venue amp. (Lots of people don't realize how loud 25 watts actually can be, especially in a coffee shop that seats just 30 or 50 people.)
I also have to be budget minded. I can't really ruin my goal - which is to see how cheap you can really get into it.
I think I should also order a luthier's kit, maybe a 70ish piece kit. But, a new guitarist wouldn't know how to use the tools. They could watch YouTube and learn. I probably should have watched a video before making the small adjustment to fix the trivial intonation issue on the low E string.
I just adjusted it, without watching video or reading an article. "If it's sharp, make it longer. If it's flat, make it shorter."
Yeah I would bet nine out of ten people would watch a repair video pertaining to what they were planning on doing before they did it if they were a beginner.
is what I use for a practice amp. I had the Marshall one on the top and one of my friends came over and gave me the other amp, it's a First Act, and i tested it and it did not work, so I bolted it to the bottom of the little marshall and wired the speaker up so now I have two speakers running and that thing can make it loud enough in head where you can not communicate, even yelling at the top of your lungs
LOL The 1/10 that didn't watch the video would probably fuck it up.
And, yeah, 25 watts is enough to fill a coffee shop or even do a small outdoor busking type of gig. 25 watts is fine to take to a jam session. It's enough to cut through drums and vocals.
That little Marshall is only 10 watts and thats enough to fill a coffee shop
