Same question for son with 15th Birthday approaching in a few weeks, hoping after shutdown. Found this thread looking for info.
Bedroom size 2m * 3m with reductions for roof and staircase (poor lad, it really is a box room)
Current amp - s/hand Fender Frontman w Reverb 38W, but it does sound tinny in fairness. He plays a Maverick F1 and he mostly plays metal / rock.
Son’s idea - Marshall DSL20HR Head ..... with Cab unit to follow with any other Birthday money and paid work he can do to fund, like 4 * 12 ... or something!?!?!
Our budget £250!
My thoughts;
1) I already had to move his desk out to get a double guitar stand in (he didn’t use the desk anyway)
2) I’ve turned into my Dad ... boring!
3) But seriously, would you actually be able use enough volume to drive a head/cab set up like that without blowing the window out / blowing the neighbours out?
4) I thought one of the following might be pretty cool.
Fender Mustang GT40
Blackstar ID Core Beam
Roland Cube Street
Marshall MG50GFX
Any thoughts welcome, even if it is to remind me how much I’d have liked a speaker wall at 15 🙃
