Has anyone tried this amp? I'm lookin to buy one.. I will not be able to play one before I buy, unfortunately :/ They're selling at approx. 130 USD. It will be used as a practice amp at home.. I play all kinds of music, and it looks like it has a good variation of sounds/tones.
Pros? cons? anything?

I have the ZOOM Fire 30 and don't really care for it. It looks good on paper, however I have not found any tones that I cared for from this amp.
Mine is setup clean and is being used for my keyboard at the moment.

No experience here with the Zoom amp, but check out a small Behringer amp for practise purposes, or as CA suggested an affordable Marshall, or maybe a Crate, I had two Crate amps once, and both were pretty nice...  There´s a lot of variety when it comes to small practise amps, but I suggest to go with a brand that is known for amps. Hmmm Zoom, I don´t know, they make pretty nice effect devices, but amps?  |

The new Crate stuff is pretty cool and the really old Crate stuff works. Stear clear of the late 80s and early 90s Crate stuff. Its fun at first but they crap out and are not worth the price it will cost to fix them. Also stear clear of any solid state Fender amp that it pre Cyber Twin , Champ or Deluxe. You just can't go wrong with Marshall amps at any year, size or price range. Also look into Line 6 amps. |

I say get the Marshall MG30DFX. It's a really practice amp. Great clean channel, pretty nice overdrive, and 4 built in effects.

Check out the VOX AD15VT. For $179 it would be hard to find a better sounding amp. The 30 watt version ($239) has the built in attenuator (variable wattage control).
