Hey everyone. I'm in the market for a new amplifier and stumbled across this site while doing some research. It seemed to be the most useful, so I decided to sign up. I'm just a casual at home player, but decided I might as well enjoy the gear I'm playing through if I'm going to do it!

what part of the state are you from?
I grew up just west of the Dells, in Vernon County - just outside of Hillsboro.

What kind of amps are you looking at?

I'm about 20-30 minutes west of Milwaukee.

Right now I'm looking to step away from combo amps to mix things up a little. I don't want to break the bank since I'm just playing at home, but I want something decent. Hoping to stay under $400. I like to play all types of rock music, from lighter all they way up to pretty heavy music. I'm looking at the following right now:

1. Bugera 333XL (On sale for $279 on MF)
2. Randall RX120RH
3. Orange CR120H (Used)

Any other suggestions are welcome! I'm looking at 2x12 cabinets too. I started a topic in the Amps, Guitar & Gears section regarding the two cabinets I'm looking at.

Might consider Jet City Amplification in your mix. Great stuff for not too much $$$

Any budget marshall clone should work...or a used marshall obviously.

I'll toss in Laney and PV as options to look into.


......AAAAAAAAAAnd welcome aboard! :nerd:

Hey all.
Greg gk Borden here from San Jose Ca

Cool to see other cheese heads.
Getting back into playing after a long hiatus.

Saw the recording talk and someone had the same old zoom Mrs. 1608 I have.

I'm originally from Sheboygan myself but gigged all over the state
If you call dive bars and getting stiffed by club owners gigging ;)

Very cool site

I'd love to rebuild my old vintage stuff up again.
All in good time.
