Jabba_the_gut Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm thinking about a smallish, lightweight amp for doing some stuff with a couple of acoustic guitars/open mic type thing. I'm kind of thinking of a used EBS Session 60 or Line 6 Lowdown 110 as they seem to go for round the £100 mark. I'm thinking of these as they might be a flexible solution as the can be DI'd if I need that option. Both amps seem to get quite good reviews - I'm leaning more to the Line 6 based on size and weight. I was also thinking about the EBS Session 30 as that is a little more compact but not sure if that would be a bit tinny but I like the size of it and the DI option again. If anyone has any experience of any of these in a similar situation, please could you let me know what you think. Cheers Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyder Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I used the line 6 with two acoustic guitars and it was perfect. It did have a very heavy sound that gave the impression you were playing through a bigger rig. I always regret selling it as they are rare second hand and can be picked up for about £90.

Defo Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Have you thought about a Hartke HD50? Has an inbuilt limiter and a very usable eq with the "metal" cones. Good volume and responsive, I use one as a practice amp and also as a vocal monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Line 6 Lowdown's a lot cheaper than that. Mine only made £46 on eBay and it was mint with a cover. Would do for very small jobs only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba_the_gut Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Cheers for the replies. Hadn't thought about Hartke amps - will have a look into them. Wish Id have seen that 110 on ebay..... Edited May 1, 2016 by Jabba_the_gut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isteen Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) Try them, and get the one you like best. I tried all the combos from EBS, and the tone from the 60 was thw one I liked most. I ended up with a Reidmar Head and two 12" cabs from the Classic Series. You should always get the one you love, not what other people tell you to get Edited July 20, 2016 by isteen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I use a Hartke Kickback 10 for just this sort of use. Sounds great but it's shape means it bangs against your legs a bit if you have to carry it any distance. Not a problem carrying from the car park but not much fun in pedestrianised town centres. Again I paid about £100 for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isteen Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I actually just got a EBS 60 watt combo at home at the moment. The tone is much better from that little guy, that what I get from my TC Electronic 250 watt combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Would be good to know where you can get the ebs session 60 so cheap! Personally never got on with line six amps, but ebs are quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
