which amp to get? Blackstar/Orange/BlackHeart/Peavey?

[mjj2332]

Hi all, I'm getting a new small tube amp, i'm at the middle of the cross junction, don't know which way to go.....

1. Blackstar HT-5
2. Orange Tiny Terro
3. Blackheart Little Giant
4. Peavet Windsor

i like led zep, ac/dc, guns' n roses kinda stuff, please enlighten me.

There's no substitute for trying them out, which is what I did and ended up with a Peavey JSX Mini Colossal. I liked it best of all, and stretched a little to be able to afford it.

That small Windsor you're talking about sounded fine, but not as rich and full of a tone as the Mini Colossal. I didn't compare the others, so I can't offer an opinion on the Blackstar, Blackheart, or Orange.

If you want to hear more about the Mini Colossal, let me know. Outstanding amp!

Peace

Mike

If the blackstar HT-5 is the 5 tube watt amp I hear so much about it is worth giving it a go definately.

Are you referring to the peavey windsor or windsor studio?
The blackstar is a great amp but mostly suited towards getting metal tones at low volumes, whereas you mostly seem to play classic rock.
