What is the best combo amp for under $2000?
I have looked at several amps such as the vox ac30cc2, fender blues deville, and a marshall vintage modern 2266c.
Fender Blues Deville: I have heard that this amp is way too loud.
Vox AC30cc2: Vox amplifiers are now made in China. I’ve heard that their amp quality has dropped, and that the “Alnico blue” speakers are made also in china and not in the UK.
Marshall Vintage Modern 2266c: I have not heard anything bad about this amp…yet.
Which amp would you pick, or what is a different one which you would recommend?
P.S. I play mostly blues and funk/rock
@yohanbundy- the marshall is not a solid state, it’s a tube amp
@jwenting- Marshall amps are all made in england
Vox are made mostly in China (some highend models are built in the UK still I think), but they’re excellent. Maybe not AS good mechanically as back in the 1960s when the Beatles played through them, but still top of the line.
Marshall are also made in China, and are far worse at all quarters (and most importantly, in the sound created).
Fenders are made in Mexico (mostly, the lowend line may be made in China or Korea).
I’ve no experience with the model you mention, but others I have tried didn’t impress me.
There’s really no choice between those three, the Vox stands head and shoulders above them both in quality and sound.
As too “too loud”, all 30W tube amps will be too loud for practice use.
If you’re planning to use it at home or in a small room (like a pub) get something smaller. A 5W tube amp will suffice for that with power to spare.
