Got an iPhone or iPod touch? If you have - iRig
Roland Microcube is a great little amp.
Has half a dozen amp modellers (Inc marshal & rectifier) plus 4 basic fx's and reverb/ddelay.
Takes mp3 in and headphone out too and is plenty loud at 2W in yer bedroom.
A quick google shows it £85 so almost inside your budget.
no unfortunately (just a cheap tesco special phone 😳 edit will have a look at those cubes. 🙂
Does the iRig not end up a bit pricey to get what you actually need?
I only have the free stuff which is a it limiting. How much for you actually need?
My mate has it and loves it but as he's us based I think it's a god bit cheaper there...
R/f I've lent mine out to a couple of guys who have ended up buying one.
They are great for the money IMHO.
Also they don't take up much room so you can leave it kicking around the place without to much trouble...
That cube looks ace, and it has my fave amp 'setting' (Roland JC 120) on it too. I would definitely try and get a secondhand one.
Otherwise, the line 6 pocket pod is £80-ish new and may be £20-30 less second hand on evilbay: more sounds than the microcube, good for headphones twiddling, cabinet 'modelling' so it sounds a *bit* better in headphones or into your computer, and if you get a load of sounds you like you can always use it through a much bigger amp if/when you get in a band. (That said, its hard to switch between sounds on the go as its all fiddly buttons to change sounds: it is possible if you use batteries, clip it on your strap/belt and then set up your user sound 'patches' in order of the songs you are playing, but it's a real faff!)
If it was me and I didn't already have the pocket pod, I would buy a tiny modelling amp for bedroom noodling. My wife would like me to admit defeat, (ie I will never play live again) and sell my huuuge amp and get a tiny one too!
Nice choice of 'target' guitar too 😀
I've got a Line6 PocketPod going spare if you're interested. Hardly used, might even have the original box.
Amplitube 2/3 software for PC if you have a sound card or interface that you can plug a guitar into and get latency free monitoring.
albino thanks for the offer.unfortunately i am currently saving every penny that i can,to buy the tele at the moment (i hope to buy it on 12th jan). 🙂
