AinsleyWalker Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I'm looking for a decent amp head with a smaller footprint, any recommendations? Not looking to spend a ton and doesn't need to be top of the range, will mostly be used for home practice/casual use. I've been considering the Ampeg Portaflex range (as my cab is Ampeg and it's always nice when they match, not essential though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Trace Elliot Elf. Tiny footprint, really well built, 200w, sounds great, headphone out and cheap as chips. I have one as a spare to my Subway 800 and wouldn't hesitate to use it as a first if needs be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 The Warwick LWA500 is a pretty stellar deal from Thomann and the a couple of TC heads. All less than £200 and you can return if you don't like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I have a Tc bh250. works really well for me and didn’t cost a fortune. The TonePrint function is very handy too 😉👍👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I recently acquired a GR Bass Mini One head - slightly larger than the Elf, but will do 350W at 4ohms if needed. Works really well as my backup amp - it really is tiny and you can chuck it in a bag fairly easily. Sounds good with headphones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Spotted the TC Bam200 for £106 on Muziker this morning, doesn't get much smaller or cheaper than that: https://www.muziker.co.uk/tc-electronic-bam200?gclid=Cj0KCQiA48j9BRC-ARIsAMQu3WQ-1LfyfJB4NNfFWL8oriB2RzLyqhFsDYc95W9GvY4lQGNSKXtnRJgaAtpmEALw_wcB Also worth looking for a used BH250 if you need compression or drive, can be had for around £100.

CookPassBabtridge Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Genzler Magellan 350 - small, lightweight, yet good enough for both practicing and small/medium sized gigs. As mentioned, if you want REALLY small though, the GR MiniOne is about as small as they come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
