please read what people have already answered you.

price range of a full tube amp?
for your budget of less than 1k, i dont think you can get a full tube amp.

With the only exception to the hand built 5 watter from Sabah, bout rm800


@TS
Andy uses his AT100 and AT300 into a Boogie Dual Rectifier, with a moderate gain setting, even if you get a 5w full tube from the guy in Sabah, you won't sound anywhere close.
Your best bet, is to find a very dynamic solidstate amp, HnK comes into mind, use your GT6 with the boogie rectifiier modeller. Should bring you close enough I guess.
I much prefer his AT100 tho, sounds right for the type of songs he excels at best. Never really liked his heavier stuff. tongue.gif

I Said that hand built tube amps, you can probably get cheaper.... and yes. I remembered about the guy in Sarawak.

But don't forget, he's buying it FROM the US and bringing back. But as mentioned, by the time you modify the voltage and all, it's going to come back to the same price as getting it in Malaysia.

And the Vox AD15VTXL is going for around Rm915.

Not to mention TAX going through the customs.

Wow, 100W TSL, would it be too loud to use at home biggrin.gif

I'm also curious to look for smallish tube amps which can be used at home.  Preferaby within 5 to 15W and with 8 or 10 inch speakers.
One clean channel would be sufficient and must be able to take pedals well.

The peavey valveking looks good. Where can you get it in Malaysia?

Any suggestions?

Can't get it here, unless its ordered in.

Bugera amps will have road show in Central market this Saturday if I recall correctly.
Full tube amps which copies Peavey 5150 circuitry made by Behringer.

Hopefully it's well priced, it's bout time we had affordable fulltubes.

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