The title pretty much says it all. Seems I have a little more money in the bank than I thought I would after my last check from Hardee's haha. You know what that means: GEAR! In this case I'm thinking of getting a good poweramp to replace my current Crate GX1200H, which may be transparent sounding but it sucks with dirty modes and has a broken channel switch, which I'll probably fix before selling it.

So, what do you guys think would be a good power amp for around $250-300? I don't care if its used or new, tube or ss, anything works. Also, how would I go about setting one of these babies up with my GNX3 and speaker cabs?

Also, if I were to get a 2 channel power amp and my bassist wanted to use one half of it to power his cab and preamp, is that possible? I probably won't use this method much but he's kinda lazy when it comes to getting equipment and needs an amp, and if I can get a 2 in one that would be even better! We're getting the band back together and some new gear might help motivate us to take this further.

best but is a peavey 60/60. but you need either a stereo cab or two cabs.
also the carvin t100 is cool. can run 50 watts stereo or 100 mono. both under $300.
dont let the 60 watts of the peavey fool you , it is loud enough for just about any situation.

I have 2 cabs so the 60/60 would probably work great. I'm not worried about too much power haha, I'll probably be practicing in a basement and playing small club gigs most likely so I don't need too much right now, and 60 tube watts is plenty loud.

I had an ADA MicroTube 100 for about a year and it was pretty good. They're quite cheap on eBay too.
