Low noise valve guitar combo!
Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2006 4:40 am
I’m looking for a guitar amp and since I prefer valve amps and they tend to be noisier than other types, I’m wondering if anybody has any recommendations. Of course there are other more important parameters when choosing an amp, but I really would prefer one that is relatively quiet at low volume.
I’ll be playing a Strat Plus Deluxe which has Lace Sensor pickups which are quieter than the usual single coil pickups.
I tried a Peavey Valve King 112 last night and it was noisier than I like and not the amp for me anyway; I don’t need such high gain.
I used to own a Fender Pro Junior which was a sweet little thing but had a strange background noise thing going on.
I’m looking at amps in the 15 to 30W region with a 10 or 12 inch speaker; no monsters as it’s not for gigging.
