Things that i would need to know before giving advice:
1) How big is your church? Average service, 500 people, 1000?
2) Are you the only electric guitar in the band?
3) Will you use this amp only at church or at other places as well?
The reasons for theses questions are: i play through a 15w Fender Blues Jr and either a LP or SG and when i'm the only electric guitarist it is perfect, the cleans just start breaking up, just how i like it. Keep in mind it depends on what guitar/pickups you have how soon the break up will happen. Every now and then we have a second electric on stage and then i would like some more headroom on my amp, as i also use pedals for extra dirt. I use to play in other bands, outside the church and the longing to do other songs is growing so i would also want a slightly bigger amp if i ever start playing else where.
Our church is about 750 people in the morning services but can be up to a 1000.
For me i would like 25 - 30 watt if i had to buy again
Hi StefStoep
Our church currently seats about 1500 per service.
I do play alone, and only electric Guitar, and I will only use the amp in church.
My amp is always on clean, I use pedals for dirt, etc. I also play clean at times so I prefer the cleans before it breaks. I use a Tele with humbuckers through a Nova system into a 30w Vox VR30, vol about halfway. I use in-ears but only in one ear cos I like to hear a bit of my amp so it is relatively loud. I have no experience with full valve amps.
My thinking is 15wats?
