first of all my tips here would be Don't be fooled by buying a guitar amp although will do it will sound horrible for his kick drum, snare etc will be fine but his kick bass drum will not come out like wants.


20watts is that peavey, now having 20 watts for my guitar amp years ago posed several issues, 1.when turning up gain cause low heavy sounds to distort, 2.the filters to cancel line in noise were poor and often had feedback through speaker (eventhough it was a £120 cable). wasn't at all long lasting the amp in the main amp unit not the plug but the fuse on the unit would pop when I had it up load for a decent jam when people were out the house.


so you have to ask yourself, would spending £80 now online then buying £150-£240 one later be cost effective for the interim or would waiting a few weeks to put cash aside to buy a good one off the bat from a reputable retailer be a better more economical way to approach the issue and have a more local customer support and have durability quality and reliability from the get go.


your £150? down from this venture, spend £80 for a stop gap then spend £150-£240 in a few months going to really be cost effective to you?

The amp in the link is a Keyboard specific amp so should not have any probems with overloading etc. I believe electronic drums use triggers and a processor.

I'm not saying any different, although I did say the wattage to me sounds too low, IMO the AMP you linked to is priced as it is because of the name not what it does and rated for.

Hmm, well as far as saving up goes that's a non starter for a good while unfortunately, hence the limit. I wouldn't even be considering it except for the fact that he paid for it and it's not his fault it broke.

I have to be honest, I don't understand about watts/gain etc (yep, I am aware of just how girly I sound now, sorry!) so I think I need to find somewhere I can talk to someone face to face and be told what I need.

Thanks again for the help!
