BMBR Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm looking for a practice combo - must be small and portable (natch !) but ideally with mp3/Ipod input, headphone output and a built in tuner. Anyone know if such a thing exists - it's the built in tuner seems to be escaping me as I search the interwebuliser for inspiration . . . yet they are available in some guitar practice combos I've seen on the market . . .Cheers !

Thunderbird Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 If it was me I would go for any of the Ampeg BA series no tuner but cracking amps or a TC BH combo series they have a built in tuner but are about 250W but I would not worry about a built in tuner I don't think they are all that great but that is just my personal view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMBR Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks for the replies .....I will investigate further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fretbuzz Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The only inbuilt tuner I know of is Orange but I find them harsh. I'd go for one of the new fender rumble combos or a new ashdown combo ... Both companies have brought out new really good ranges :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Line6 Lowdown LD150 ticks all the boxes. Even has a few built in effects to pay around with. 150w might be more than you need for a home practice amp but but at that power should be okay for band rehearsals too!

KiOgon Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) There's a great little Ashdown Boxer 65 in the for sale section, it might not have all the bells & whistles but they're a bloody good practice amp for just a few quid http://basschat.co.uk/topic/238201-trace-elliot-boxer-65-l50-suffolk/ Edited June 13, 2014 by KiOgon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theyellowcar Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 My personal recommendation would be one of the new Fender Rumbles. I have 40 and it's brilliant, plenty loud and LIGHTER than the old Rumble 15 that I traded in. No tuner built in but you could always pick up a pedal for £15-£30.

MindGoneBlank Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Orange CR50BXT. Has everything you want, including the tuner, and sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
