Hi, I’m deciding between Boss Kantana and Fender GTX50. I’m 5ft2 petite women. I’ve got to carry this kit up stairs.
I’ve watched and lookec at a lot of view and opinions of lots of other great musicians.
They are completely different amps. I need it for gigging with 6 piece band.
Cheers for your opinion
Well, take it from somebody who has bought several amps in the past “happy go lucky”, mixed with reviews from the web…
Take your favorite guitar, go to a shop and ask if you can try these amps. (if they have 'em of course).
For instance, i’ve had the opportunity to play a boss katana and found out that i didn’t like it.
Tried a line6 amp next and loved it.
These days i’m totally in love with a Harley Benton 15W tube amp.
What i’m saying here is, don’t base your buying only on yt reviews. The big thing is playing them, before you buy them. I found that out the hard/expensive way.
I don’t know anything about the Fender amp, but from what i’m reading (the specs), it has way too much whistles and bells for me. (too much options).
My 2 cents.

Just a thought, but if this is just for gigging then does the band use a PA, and can you plug a modeller directly into that? If size and weight is a big consideration then using a modeller and plugging directing into the PA probably gives you the smallest, lightest solution. In my opinion it’s also the easiest to set up for live sound if you use monitors for the PA. If you use the ‘house’ PA, then the sound guy will love you too!

What would you recommend to amplify my acoustic guitar? Is there an affordable amp that can also be used for an electric? Do they have a headphone blue tooth option for quiet electric play?
