Fender mustang lt 25

#

Or go strait to the katana 50

grand torrent
#

both is over the budget

#

lt25 is around 225$ here

#

I can get it eventually but for now I will prioritize a cheaper one first since im a newbie

nocturne oracle
#

I wouldn’t

#

Look at ur used market and just buy the better amp now

grand torrent
#

it's very rare to find a good used amp like katana here

nocturne oracle
#

Even if it is a lt25 that is still way better than what u have stated

grand torrent
#

yeah it's 75$ more expensive as well

#

do I still upgrade to katana 50 with lt25?

nocturne oracle
#

No

#

Like u could if u wanted

grand torrent
#

i can pick between lt25 or champion 20w

nocturne oracle
#

But they are similar enough

#

Unless u want to play metal then the katana is a decent bit better

#

The Lt 25 is better than the champion

#

The lt25 is the same concept as the katana

grand torrent
#

i want to try everything

nocturne oracle
#

The mustang will do metal to a usable practice level the katana just does it better

grand torrent
#

I think if I get katana then I do not need to upgrade anything

nocturne oracle
#

Exactly

grand torrent
#

my plan was get an used mg15 then upg to either katana or thr10

nocturne oracle
#

Just get the better amp now then u have everything u want for later

#

Don’t get a mg 15

#

If u are going to get a mg get a 30 50 or 100

grand torrent
#

i spent a little more on the guitar my parents wouldn't allow me to pay more for amp😔

grand torrent
nocturne oracle
#

U could try to explain to them that that spending abit more upfront for the katana would get u an amp that would last you a lot longer

#

Or just stalk ur used market and grab one when it pops up

grand torrent
#

but then i will need a sub one for now

nocturne oracle
#

U don’t

#

Actually look at the
Boss katana go
NuX mighty plug

#

They are headphone amps but have the same functionality as the katana 50 but for cheaper

#

U just need headphones to hear them

#

Or a Bluetooth speaker with an aux

grand torrent
#

i could only get a used katana 50 for around 230$

#

brand new one is 400$ here

nocturne oracle
#

Yea

grand torrent
#

will this do?

nocturne oracle
#

Yea

#

That’s the one I was telling u about

#

It has the same functionality as the katana it just is worse at high gain

grand torrent
#

cool it's 150$ cheaper than katana

nocturne oracle
#

Unless u plan on playing a lot of modern metal that will work perfectly fine

grand torrent
#

there is rumble as well

#

more expensive

nocturne oracle
#

U want the mustang

#

The rumble is a bass amp

#

The mustang is a guitar amp

grand torrent
#

I see

#

thank you so much

#

What do you want to play ?

sand storm
#

For your budget I'd look for a used katana (as is probably mentioned) or a Mooer Hornet 30

grand torrent
#

Mostly trendy music

#

Get a Katana Go to start with. It's a headphone amp and has the same effects as the Katana amps. Just need a pair of headphones to plug in, and you're good to go.

grand torrent
#

Nope I’m not planning to use headphone all the day to practice guitar

☝️

sand storm
#

or just get the Mooer ... it's within budget .. sounds good enough, has lots of tones

grand torrent
#

what do you think of Mooer Hornet 30 ? It's 60$ cheaper than lt25

sand storm
#

phone app etc

grand torrent
#

i can't find many reviews about it

sand storm
#

some demos on YT

#

I'd go for the SD30i though

grand torrent
#

I think I will get orange 12w for now lol then upg to katana 50 until I'm good with it

#

I'm able to get the orange 12W for $83, I think it's a great deal.

#

just need it for bedroom practice

sand storm
#

if you have a good set of headphones and/or good set of somputer speakers ... I highly recommend getting a Nux Mightyplug Pro

#

it also doubles as an interface ... tones are nice ... super easy to use ... can be played with headphones or some external speaker

#

I have the MP2 and it's crazy featurepacked for little money

grand torrent
#

I don't

#

100$ I prefer amp

sand storm
#

then go for it

#

@rigid chasm will agree with me 😉

rigid chasm
# grand torrent 100$ I prefer amp

Just out of curiosity... why do you prefer a cheap amp, which will have far fewer features and effects (and arguably worse sound), when you could have the same thing - only with headphones or plugging in to a set of studio monitors or any speaker for that matter - with the Mighty Plug Pro, which actually is a much better value over any cheap amp IMO.

Just wondering.

grand torrent
#

Im completely new and I don't have idea what is it so might as well just get a traditional amp first

rigid chasm
#

Do you know how to use google?
If yes, I would suggest look it up and do some reasearch. Especially for beginners it's a much better and much more convenient deal.

But to each their own. 😉

Just in case:
Google search terms....

  • Nux Mighty Plug Pro.

if you want to play anything that remotely sounds like non-pussy music ...

@grand torrent If you really must get a small amp for bedroom use (which is really counter-productive, but...), then the Boss Katana Mini, or better yet, the Katana MIni X are not bad for the money.

Still a worse deal than the Mighty Plug Pro, but for that size, they're not that bad.

The Mini will set you back around 130 Euro, and the MIni X will stretch your budget a bit, but better... at 185 Euro.
