Any good recommendations on keyboard amps?

Hi all, I’m looking at getting an amp for playing live into, I know the 500x can go direct into a PA system but I’m looking at an amp as I can play at home still with the same sound but what amp? I’d been looking at a Fender Hotrod Deville amp and a VOXAC30VR but I don’t know do I need either or would a ‘cheaper’ alternative be just as good. I used to have a Laney LC50 valve amp and it sounded unreal as it was so powerful and loud with my old Korg FX unit. I love the distortion on the 500x with the Plexi Bright head but I’m unsure how it’d all work or if I could get that sound through another amp?

Cheers all, found out that an Nvidia driver plus pod edit kills the PC. Closing Nvidia sorts that problem out! Ive got a crappy bass practice amp as a output now, plugging into the CD input slot from the POD phones output to get going. Doing a lot of learning with tones although some downloaded presets sound rubbish but I put that down to not having a proper output. So monitors over amp?

Hi Pianoguy, So I get the BSOD when I start playing the guitar thus the PC crashes and reboots itself. So I should close the program when I’m done editing when I want to play? How can I setup the USB so it plays out from there? That would negate needing to buy an amp Cheers for the answers

Hi all, I’ve recently upgraded from a Korg FX pedal to the 500x and was hoping for some advice! For some reason the POD edit software crashes my PC randomly, seen a couple of threads about this so is the 500x better through an amp or headphones/speakers? Also noticed the USB connection doesn’t play back through the PC speakers is this normal? I’ll have to contemplate buying a setup to go with it if I can’t find a solution in the interim!
