Hi all, I am looking for some advice on buying a practice amp. I have a Princeton 650 as my main amp but need something smaller to jam with. The two amps I am looking at are the g-dec jr and the champ 600. The problem I have is that I do not know which route to take regarding jam tracks. If I get the g- dec then I have a small portable amp with built in backing tracks. Or would I be better getting the champ and download tracks on to my pc, the champ is small enough to sit next to my pc speakers. Deep down I am drawn towards the champ because it is a tube amp. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all. :)

It's a toss up. I'm not familiar with a GDec Jr. I have the 30. I wind up using jam tracks because I get so bored with the backing tracks and the MIDI sound in general. But on the 15 and 30 you can change the key and tempo which is useful for practice.

The Line 6 Jam would have suited me better. It uses live backing tracks and I believe you can make whole songs and store them to a CF card using the live tracks. Though I'm not positive. It's 75 SS watts so you could probably do small gigs with it.

The GDec 30 has a ton of features and effects too. My Gdec 15 went south and Fender replaced it so I traded up to the 30. I do sort of have regrets though.
