In the US i think the only complete budget rig for the price would be a squier affinity starter pack which is actually a great starter set. Also, on the case of tuners, phone apps work pretty well in a pinch
@daveyoung802 жыл бұрын
I'd call that a draw - both had perfectly usable practice rigs for the money. Would be interested what you'd actually pick as a perfect starter rig without the price cap.

My first electric rig was under $250 (US) a Washburn strat clone (SSS) and a 15w Crate amp. Cheap nylon strap and cable (the shop tossed in handful of free picks in the gig bag.) I got a free cleaning set from Washburn (polish, string cleaner, and the cloth) because they were running a promo that summer (this was 1994… I may be dating myself).

Great stuff fella's and both very credible options at a ridiculously low price point. Extremely close shout but, being a massive " Tele " fan, I have to go with Kris. Those Harley Benton T's are sensational guitar's which we could only have dreamed about when we were starting out. Love the wee Mooer amp too - it sounds great and looks very cool.

Guillaume's Katana mini amp definitely won on the amp side, at least to my tastes, the bullet's sound is OK but when I tried one I felt the neck not be be as "refined" as the affinity's one is, while I have tried several harley benton ST-styles and they are really OK, so on that side I would prefer Kris' guitar. Both rigs are awesome tho, if I had such gear when I started I would have been the happiest boy in town and I definitely missed the mini katana, that's really badass!
@brunodelandev2 жыл бұрын
Guillaume is the winner. I don't like the clean sound from the moer amp whereas than the katana mini is great except for the high gain where It's not very pleasant. And also It's possible to combine this amp with the nux mighty plug amp on the clean Channel. It works fine and It offers a lot of more options and It's really light and portable 👍
