Hi, I’m a student from North East India and around a few months back my sister promised to buy me my first electric guitar. Currently, I’ve played guitar for almost 9 months. So, my sister ( currently a teacher) is going to help me save up for my first electric guitar, so I was just looking around at some gear. I was thinking on getting the SQOE SELP220 and the SQOE 60G amp. I want to buy only from the procraft India website as I’ve heard good things of the website. There’s no changing my mind on the guitar as I’m getting a les paul shape or not getting an electric guitar at all😄, and for the amp I need one that can be heard along with my friend ( he plays the acoustic drums). My maximum budget is 40k and it’s mainly for home playing school or college playing etc. . The SQOE SELP220 is around 24.5k and the SQOE 60G is 15k, so does anyone have any alternative or better gear.
Hello!
As a fan of old video games I knew about the Make in India policies, but hadn’t considered the impact on musicians until now.
I think the amp seems like a fine starter amp, better than than the one I first bought, but it might not be quite loud enough next to a drum kit. Lifting it off the floor would help.
Sweet, I feel your excitment. I love that. I looked at that brands Les Paul. They looked cool as heck. Who can go wrong with double humbuckers?
I am super stoked for you. You will be tearing it up in no time. Good job doing the hard work geting to this point. And keep practicing and playing. Most important have fun.
Yep, 60w will do the job nicely. Will be a little bit on the loud side for bedroom practice, but it will hold it’s own beside drums. (And if you get the opportunity to place a mic in front of it, there’s no problem at all. 
)
Can’t say much about the guitar because i don’t know the brand. But i’m sure it will be fine.
Looks like your all set to start rocking!
maybe adding a power soaker will help ?
Yep, that should do the trick. You’d have to read the specs carefully though. If you put it in the wrong place, it either doesn’t do anything, or it will fry your system, from what i’ve read about it.
The best would be a built-in one, but i don’t know if the amp our op wants, has one.
It’s actually a 40w amp, even though it’s labelled as 60G. Will it still be able to hold itself against an acoustic drum set played by my friend, but he is pretty thin, like even thinner than the current megadeth drummer Dirk. Btw the amp outputs the 40w through a 1×10" 8ohm speaker if that helps.
And also I was looking at alternatives and something caught my eye, the Lirevo Full star 30 it’s a 30w modelling amp with the celestion Ten30 10" speakers and it has great tones but will be able to keep up with an acoustic drum set like it’s only 30w but since I has a celestion speaker.
40W will do fine depending on where you place the amp. For instance, look at the White Stripes.
Guitar stands in front of the drums. (Not only a natural position for a frontman, but for an amp as well).
If you place your amp away from the drummer, it will do nicely. (Not talking about the big 4X4 marshall stacks ofcourse… They can go anywhere… 
)
I had a performance at school earlier this year, and our drummer hits it hard, but with a Line6 amp (Either 30 or 60W, i forgot), placed in front and somewhat to the right of the drummer, and crancked to 9, i could be heard just fine…
The venue your playing, the amount of people that are attending, the physical dimensions of the space, where the amp is placed (on the ground, or on an elevated position, pro tip: always tilt the amp slightly, so that the sounds projects toward you. If you keep it placed firmly on the ground, you’re going to have some problems hearing yourself play), if the amp can get a mic in front of it, etc… all these and other variables will contribute or subtract from your sound.
It surely is a very fun journey to embark upon. I wish you lots of fun playing and learning!!
p.s.: wait 'till you get your hands on your first pedal… a word to the wise… They breed!! 
Hahaha, I also heard about having an addiction with collecting pedals so I’m just gonna get a multi fx pedals in the future.
But what do you think about the 30w modelling amp.
Thanks, what do you think about the Lirevo Full star30, it’s a 30w modelling amp with Celestion Ten30 10" speakers
Well, like i said earlier on, depending on where you place it, and other variables, it should work nicely.
It surely will be enough for bedroom practice.
I have a 15W amp at home and i can’t get it past 3 on the volume. (Higher than that and my wife comes by to tell me to quiet things down).
The attenuator on the amp is a great device!
And that was after i got foolish enough to buy me a 40W marshall… It’ still there, just can’t use it at home…These things are made to be loud…
So your 30W amp will suffice for now. Right up to that point in time when you get sucked into the rabbit hole of sound. Oh yes… you wait…
I don’t know anything about the amps your looking at.
But I will add.
Consider that a 30W or 40W solid state amp will likely not be as loud as the same wattage for a tube amp. Why I don’t know, but it seems to be a fact.
That said. I have 2 solid state amps, 80W ea. While they are very loud, I am able to play at home with the vol. dialed way back. Like to 1 , maybe 2 on the dial. It’s soft enough to not make my wife mad at me.
I guess my point is, ya may not need a attinuator to play what your looking at in a home environment.
fwiw. I got two tube amps @ 12W and 15W. Both are too loud to play at home unless I dial the vol. back on them too.
From what I get my 15W(ish) tube amps likely won’t keep up with a drummer.
I do think my 80W solid state ones would though. Both will move some air if turned up.
As for the modelers.
If your a new player, I can see wanting to get some effects to try them out and see what you like.
That said, I went the pedal route. I got up to about 5 or 6 pedals before I realized that I’m just not into effects as much as I thought I’d be. I now have 2 pedals available for use if I want them. And one of them is a eq. pedal.
My point is, get yourself a amp that sounds good to you, by itself. Ya may end up just plugging in and playing if it sounds good as is. 
That said, I do advocate for getting a amp w/onboard reverb. Better yet, tremolo if ya can get it too.
Tremolo is what my other pedal is. Redundant for one of my amps (it has onboard tremolo), but 2 don’t have tremolo and once I had a amp w/tremolo, I just couldn’t do w/o so got a pedal for them two amps that I have that are deficient.
Good hunting man.
The hunt is always fun.
Hahaha thanks
Haha, maybe I too may go the pedal route as the amp I’m looking at does have reverb and any multi fx pedals can cater to any additional needs. Thanks for your help.
