I hope this video serves as a good long-term guide to picking a great practice amp based on features, price, and size! Many of the samples were re-recorded for this video, so I hope you find it helpful. Let's get this to 1000 thumbs up to get it out there! Thanks again, everyone for the support. Rock on! Check the timestamps and amp links in the description box.

Wow 15 years. Well done and keep going. Really like your videos.

[notomatoesbbq]

Great list! Lump me in with the LOVE IT camp for the THR30II. Its great for both guitar and bass practice.

[greatvanzini]

Great video! My needs (ok, want) list just got bigger!

[scottmacdonald]

Great video!!! I have a Roland Cube 40XL that I've been super happy with for a bunch of years. With the Power Squeezer I think it drops it down to 5 watts. A bunch of amp sims, delay, reverb (a bit too polite for me, but whatever), the regular modulation effects, a "solo" function (a rudimentary personal preset), a looper, and some other stuff I never use. You can pick these up used for super cheap.

[Glen-jnfs]

Incredibly informative! Kudos my friend! Love the channel!

[MaxwellDog]

Ok but why does this guy only review left-handed amps

[mhw]

Great video Shane. The only one I would add is the Vox Adio Air GT which is similar to the Yamaha THR. It's wide stereo sound really fills the room too.

[ronpatterson]

Great video, i picked up a black star mini for 20.00 used on a whim, turns out to be a good little amp. Its not loud, but loud enough to have fun.

[corvus]

Orange TerrorStamp: 20W in pedal-size. Loud enough for band practice (if the bass player doesn't have a SVT), can even work live with the cab-sim output. I love mine!

[cliffhanger]

Great video. The DSL5CR is underrated IMO. Love the clean channel, dirt channel is a bit dark for me but I’m generally using the clean channel with pedals anyway. Sounds great at super quiet (talking) volumes in my experience. Had mine for a couple of years, they’re only £350 in the UK.

I have two Mooer Hornets (blue and pink), love em, they are my bedroom rigs. Love em!

From experience the DSL1 head and the little Marshall mini stack mg cabinets are pretty great for a person in apartments or roommates. That's my number one bedroom amp for classic rock and 80's hair metal.

The vox mini super Beatles amp are pretty cool for a small living room amp ! Cool effects like tremolo and reverb. Screams through a 412 cabinet or 212 alnico cabinet, omg !

Supro DK 12 is awesome 👌 All tube, reverb and it's got a killer distortion channel. The reverb is killer as it's speaker. Loudest 12 inch little 15 watt combo I've ever !😮

Orange OR15 head is awesome bedroom amp that will drive a 412 just fine. Sounds killer with 212 alnico cabinet but I've yet to hear an amp that failed to sound better in the alnico 212 cabinet😂 bedroom and head room switch are very useful.

Line 6 mk2 spider 212 amp or head are awesome. Very versatile and sounds killer with bass guitars and synthesizer systems. Very good, very easy to recommend.

Rocker terror 15 head unit. Killer amp, similar OR15 but has 2 footswitch channel where OR15 is one channel. Can recommend.

Orange cr20 combo, no reverb just 2 channel footswitchable. Highly recommend for an analog solid state amps that really do sounds good, especially with vintage guitars and vintage speakers, omg ! Cool, cheap amp.

Marshall DSL40 COMBO, very cool and sounds really good !

EVH stealth 50 watt head and matching 212 cabinet. Best amp I've ever had ! Great for bedroom and arena rock ! Loudest 50 watt I've ever heard ! Easy just as loud or maybe ever louder than my peavey 6534+ head unit into it's matching 412 cabinet. 😂 crazy to think a 50 watt head into its matching 212 is louder than a 120 watt head into its matching 412 cabinet but it's true. Maybe peavey should start using celestion speakers or better eminence speaks like the British series or the eminence legend.😂

Any way, these are all modern amps you can get today that i have experience with and can really recommend 👌 👍

[coffeemad]

Great to run into you at lunch today. I like using the Katana mini for practice. Also, the Engl Thunder 50 is great for practice as the lead channel has a separate volume control. I can turn it down really low but still sounds good.

[DustyTheStaffy]

I have a Blackstar ht1r. I'm really happy with it. That white Strat is awesome btw

[novaaxe]

spark mini is my favorite, portable, rechargeable usb battery and killer sounds. has all the app features of the 40 watt, and is a mini Bluetooth player. I keep it next to my lazy boy and jam all the time on it, also great for outdoor and camping trips.

[mikesalt]

Hi Shane Vox made the Pathfinder 15 non reverb first, then the 15R I know this cause I had both ! I still own a 15R and never will part with it. Surprised the Vox Mini 3 wasn't in there superb wee amp great sound and lots of features ! Cheers

[bikeman]

Katana Mini is great for really low volume distortion, you can get a great sound no matter how low and you can crank it up when you want. A big plus is the headphone jack works properly, every other practice amp has headphone jack that sounds like a trapped bee.

[douglaschristine]

Damn Shaun, 15 years, your an all star. No wonder you're so good at this. Keep it up 👍.

[azzuro]

Great vid !! I'm adding good ole Roland MicroCube - versatile 3W with COSM effects works on batteries too... And BlackStar ht-1R MK1, pure tube 1W joy. Top two for me
