my budget is around RM700 and less. I am thinking of VOX ad15vt or any cheap one. I heard you can get that for 600++. mesa is too expensive.

my current setup is gt-6, ibanez at300(borrow from a friend), xotic bb preamp. right now i m using really cheap amp...

btw, I am trying to get andy timmons tone but dunno how...

kustom 12A = 600? wow, almost twice the price from this website

http://www.music123.com/Kustom-Tube-12A-Pr...145535.Music123

I can just buy one here in us but i dunno how to bring it to malaysia.. i dunno whether it is better to ship it or just buy one in malaysia.

I want to bring it inside the airplane but already got two luggages, one hand luggage, one laptop bag. I dont have many things to bring back, but I assume the amp itself wont fit inside my luggage.

Any other practice amps that sounds good? I am looking for something that sounds like jazzy, bluesy, not too metal

owh shoot, is there anything that i can do other than converting the voltage? i dont want to convert the voltage because short circuit might happened, and can go kabooooom too. aiseyh, is there any other solution?

is there any better amp than vox/kustom? i need sth around that price range.

Btw, i just figured out the price range for full tube amp, sorry for asking the same question twice.

the valbee isnt that great.
the kustom is the tube 12a...around RM600.

and i thought the vox had the tube in the poweramp.

whatever it is they will never sound like a tube amp at full blast tongue.gif

That is correct.
You'll need to do research for a well known brand for the transformer, don't risk your amp getting fried =)

Can you recommend me some of good transformer too? thanks. I have been using Rm50 cheap one at home, but I feel a little bit skeptical..

not really sure on good step down TF..but just keep in mind that if the watt/ampere of the amplifier is let's say 50..so get higher for the TF...not really remmeber..need to ask my fren...he's quite good in electrical/electronics... smile.gif

the one I got is higher than the required watt, but it is a cheap'o brand with two pin plug. any suggestion for a good one? like good brand, very reliable, safe, etc..
