Need some amp buying help - blues?
Ok need some help guys. I play a fender strat (hot noiseless pups) through a frontman 25r. Sometimes I'll use my Epi Les Paul custom just for a little different feel (and when I do rhythmy stuff). I know, the amp needs upgrading. I am going for a warm bluesy sound. I was looking at possibly a Fender 212 Frontman (Not expensive but extremely powerful) and probably an ibanez ts9 tube screamer to run through as well. Looking at about....$400 probably. would it be better to forego the ts9 and 212 to just buy a weaker power tube amp (which will probably be more expensive?). If so, can anyone give me some suggestions? Keep in mind, I'm a student that's on a budget but I do play live. Any suggestions, experiences...pretty much any input would be greatly appreciated.
My brother actually owns the Fender Frontman 212R and, to be quite honest, it's a great amp for what it costs. Without any effects pedals, my own Fender Strat can acheive some really nice blues, rock, jazz AND country tones using that amp. My current amp is actually a Fender Champion 30 30-watt amp (discontinued--I think the Frontman 25R actually took its place) and, if I was to upgrade my own amp, I'd personally want to go with either one of Fender's cheaper tube amps or I'd save up for a while and get a Dr. Z or Vox tube amps. Don't get me wrong though--the Frontman 212R is a great solid state amp but, to acheive the best tones I can possibly acheive, I'd really want a tube amp.
Anyway, all I can suggest is that you go to a local store and try out the Frontman 212R as well as some tube amps and, after doing so, you make your decision. No one else can decide this for you other than yourself, since it'll be your amp. All I can say is that the Frontman 212R is a great amp for its price and, even though it's not a tube amp, you can acheive some great tones with it.
Oh, and I would have talked about the Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer but, to be quite honest, I've never used it myself. I do know, however, that you can get a Keeley-modified version of the pedal and, after hearing what Keeley has done with some other pedals (including the Boss BD-2 Blues Driver), I'd be willing to bet that the Keeley-modified Tube Screamer would be a lot better than the standard Ibanez version (do note that the Keeley-modified version of the pedal is essentially the same pedal, but with better tone--the Robert Keeley way).
