Still around £350 in the UK. I got the impression he was looking for something cheap?

nah, i meant the solid state 85s. i've got one that's very similar to the red knob jobbys.

try before you buy is what i'm saying.

I'm very fond of my Fender 85 red knobby jobby - very loud and cheap when I got it - but I think the Greenwood connection may be hoisting their used price a bit.

I'd certainly seek out an HH - brutally loud, built to last and there's loads on Gumtree etc...

I used to have a VOX Pathfinder a long time ago that was excellent and solid. Not sure what they cost these days. Back when I gigged and sound engineered in the early 90s nearly every other band had a guitarist with a Bandit. I saw someone mention the Roland JC's,have a great sound that is suited for a particular type of sound, offer a great clean jangly sound if matched right.

the smaller JCs don't seem particularly common here on the 2nd hand market though. a JC55 would be a good move IF you can get it for a reasonable price, they're quite gritty little amps.

peavey pacer. or any early 80s peavey will be loud, and they sound surprisingly nice.

Check out Crate either "V" Series (tube) or something like my (semi-tube) Crate GT80 DSP, they're available w/two 12" and the digital signal processing in various models for affordable prices.
