7 Best Tube Amps For Home Use - The valve amp sound at lower volumes Part 1

Dagan talks us through his 7 favourite tube amps for home use, so you can get that valve sound without being evicted or blowing out your windows.

If you want that lush valve sound, but don't want to have to turn up your amp to ear-shattering levels, these tube amps are light enough to carry to practice, small enough sit in the living room or your apartment yet provide the tube amplifier sound you want - just at lower volumes.

However, each of these 7 amplifiers are perfect for small gigs and studio sessions thanks to the fact you can still crank the volume when you need to.

Best of all, they're all extremely budget-friendly too.

Don't listen to these ignorant, anti social, negative Neanderthals. You are very entertaining, and seem like a cool, fun Dude. who loves the guitar and good music. That's always tops in my book. Thanks for posting, and hope you keep on posting.

Every time I think about what I will get next for my guitar and amp collection I come back to this channel because not only are the videos entertaining, they’re really informative and Dagan is an incredible musician as well.

[danielclark]

I heard everything I needed to hear by 12 minutes in, but I listened to the whole video because this guy is entertaining.

I think this is the greatest amp review I have ever seen.

[jackdellow]

That (insert brand name here) tone that we all know and love.

6:33 ah yes, the three musical genres. Metal, clean, and Hendrix

Just purchased an AC10 within the last month. Absolutely love it. With the slightest adjustment I can get it whisper quite and it will get as loud as I'll ever need. If you need to play a gig and it's not loud enough, then mike it. It also works great with an Ibanez tube screamer mini.

[masonhancock]

I love your reviews. You play each amp with a wide range of styles to really test them and I'm entertained when you talk.

Any other channel's amp reviews I skip through the talking bits annoyed but you have good relatable info.

Thanks!

I've got the EVH 5150 III 15w lunch box going through a mesa 2x12 recto cab and it's perfect for bedroom jamming in my opinion. my first tube amp ever...I was blown away by how huge and brutal it can be. love it.

[WolvR]

I swear you could put a half eaten meatball that came from the ocean in front of this guy and say "sell this somehow" and I'd wanna buy it

[timmalmros]

"And this one goes to 12, and that one more then 11" love that spinal tap joke. Saw that movie on my 18th birthday. I'm 20 this month.

You sir are a very pleasant host. And you have a great way to tell a story. Thank you.

I've tried tons of small tube amps for home use from 1 watt to 15. Vox AC10 is the best by far.

[Sandstroem]

Damn it! Dagan has really grown on me and I think I've seen all his videos now. He's very entertaining

As a beater backup to my pro junior, i bought a 200 buck 15w tube amp from Monoprice. Amazing tone box. It's got effects loop and a real spring reverb tank. I call it my Blues Jr. Killer. I just recently bought it and haven't even changed out the cheap Chinese tubes. I will replace them with nos as soon as they start to go. Great amp. Highly recommended.

[TheMichaelseymour]

i liked them all...but man, that 10 watt vox is sweet

[vincentderouand]

I own both a Pro Junior and à Palmer Fab5. The Fender is absolutely brilliant, but no way you can play it above 2 volume wise. It’s 15 LOUD watts. So, clean tones only at home. The Palmer sounds different, more warm tone, but it has a built-in 3 stages attenuator that allows you to play clean or cranked and still preserve your ears and neighbours. This german company isn’t famous as the brands in this video, but you gotta check it out! Thanks for the demos, you’re awsome!

[calebwashburn]

I'm glad I watched this. I was possibly going to get something but I really want that little 5150

[ofreeky]

Sorry but i have met this guy and he is totally awesome (I know I hate that word too). Such a nice accommodating and really friendly chap.

[larryphillips]

Thanks for these great suggestions. Also, I enjoy your humor. Your love for music comes through in the jokes and positive vibes they spread. Great playing… ‘nuff said!
