  • My 2022 commitment is to play guitar more, i stopped playing for about 10 years and the last few months have been taken to playing an hour or so a couple times a week, in my old PRS but i have no amp and i’m finding playing it unplugged rather unsatisfying.

    What amp do i buy? Ill never gig, it will only be used in my office, but im a buy once and never feel the need to buy again kind of person.

    don’t need flashy modern features, happy to buy used, maybe £500? more if it makes sense..

  • Dirty or clean? I keep banging on about the 10w single-ended Blackstar Artisan/Studio 10s cause I really like mine.

  • Would you consider Boss Waza Air if it's only going to be for office duties? I've heard lots of people in similar circumstances who haven't plugged into their amp all of lockdown thanks to the excellence of Waza Air...

    Otherwise how about a Positive Grid Spark?

    My one other suggestion for something totally different would be to get a Ceriatone American Classics Champ Ultra Lunchbox with a matching 1x12 cabinet... very lush!

  • FWIW I've really enjoyed using a Yamaha THR10 for quietish office/bedroom use. It's got a nice range of tones from absolutely clean to super-saturated Bettencourt-style distortion that are available at any volume. They've pulled off the nice trick of making it sound like a proper big amp that's been recorded at high volume and then played back quietly, rather than it sounding like a small amp. Enough features not to need a pedalboard every time, but not so many features that you feel that you're having to dial in 3 dozen settings every time you just want a slightly different sound.
