Ok, I've had a lot of amps in my time.....
What I want now is a stereo amp to use with my Gibson J45 to use at home .... not expensive, 5-10watts, effects.

The ouput of a guitar in mono, so why a stereo amp ?

Not all guitars are mono!

Perhaps Ecca wants electric and mic'd-up sounds from separate speakers?

Well some guitars are in stereo, but also some effects do stereo outputs too which can drive either 2 amps or a stereo amp.

If you're interested, I;ve got one for sale. Just over 1 year old. Occasional bedroom use only. £65 + P & P.

Regards

Why not have two AC4 ? I have two for the exactly that reason and can spread the sounds wide. You won't get much spread from those small amps

Then, if you want some real stereo effects, a small stereo combo with two speakers a few inches apart will not give any really noticeable stereo effect. Better use two small mono combo amps placed wide enough apart, and get the stereo effect with suitable in between pedals or multi-effect...

Had one of these for years... fab sounds - all the stuff you want, and has a mic input too, so you can abuse the audience...

And it has an input for an mp3 player too...
