What’s the minimum wattage acceptable for a guitar amp in a band situation?
senzuri asked:
I’m primarily a drummer but I’m trying to branch out into playing guitar, and I’m in an informal, casual jamming situation with some friends. I’m looking for a guitar amp that’s cheap but just suitable enough to be used in a full band jamming situation with a bassist and drummer. What’s the mininum amount of watts that I should look for in an amp?

Great question senzuri, but I think you answered it yourself.
So, you’re a drummer, right? Think about getting a new kit. Gonna buy one cause it’s loud? Or cause it sounds great? If it needs to be louder you’ll mic it. Right?
Ain’t life easy?
