There are zillions of small amps out there that can be pressed into service for chick'n pick'n practice.

Some of those Peavey solid state amps, like 90db mentioned, are gems in the class.

Likewise, there are plenty of different Crate models out there, some discontinued but still very viable.

I recommend visiting the used instrument stores and pawn shops, etc. as vs brand spankin' new prices, for one thing, most of the youngsters want the sound of six overdriven Marshall stacks and thus the street value of the cleaner amps which are less in demand is attractive indeed.


And, for the stated intended purpose, there is no need to pay for 80 watt level power. A 5 to 10 W little amp is enough to make the wife tell you to turn it down of an evening.

Look also for amp with Headphone jack, most of them will have that these days.
