''The Blues Junior is so perfect, I changed everything''

[michaelshepherd]

As a former miata owner and racer I totally appreciated the reference.

[juliochingaling]

In 1968 i heard a 68 twin and bassman. Love at first sight. The sound. the smell of the tubes and power was mind blowing.

"This is one of the best amps out there, I've completely renovated and rehauled it."

[rorymcclellan]

I still play my ac30 in the house xD. Its like riding a motorcycle indoors.

[xernonymous]

Because of this video, I just picked up the Junior IV and I am in love. Although it’s stock, I’m still glad to listen to a good recommendation. Very good purchase. Thank you for all you provide the guitarist community!

"you can absolutely piss a lot of people off with a 15 watt amp" - been there, done that ✔️

[Levyo]

5:19 "This is the Mazda Miata of guitar amps"

Now you're speaking my language

[joshbittner]

I just a Boss Katana head with it’s integrated speaker. Tilt it on its side and can even sit next to your feet in a desk. For quick guitar recording, you can use the USB out. And it’s not too expensive so this can be a backup/home only amp

[katieveruca]

I rewatched the ac20 audio clip multiple times and am completely blown away. That tone is out of this world.

[paulbuck]

For my birthday I took the plunge and bought a Morgan AC20 combo. OMG! I absolutely love the sound out of this amp!!!! I never would have found out about it without you Rhett! Thanks for all you do!

[markokrezo]

Orange Tiny Terror. Fully tubed 15W which can be switched to 7W. Fully screams at full level, but nice and clean and crisp when needed. Also just simply dial in the one tone knob for extra warmth and your enjoying sound. Great amp.

[curtisssmith]

I like the Peavey classic 20 and 6505 20 watt heads. Pretty affordable with all the modern features. Both heads cover all the music styles pretty much. Even with the amps Rhett mentions, your sound is going to depend on how well you set them up and the guitars you use as well as your playing ability.

I live in an apartment building. I have a 5e3 clone, with a Celestion Blue 12” speaker...WAY TOO LOUD. I got a Dr.Z Break Lite attenuator to play it during the day, when neighbors, wife and son are away.
These days, no one is away! I picked up a Strymon Iridium to play with headphones. That works pretty good? Upside, I get to have three different amps sounds that interact (well?) with my pedals, and I can play day, or night. Downside is the sweet old lady down the hall complains that “(she) never hears me playing guitar anymore”. Can’t please them all?
Would love to play my amp in a “safe” room, with a great band. Miss how the pedals interact with a real amp, and speaker. Miss feeling the sound in my body as well as my ears.
Hope everyone is safe out there. Peace

I am fortunate to have a 50's era tweed deluxe. 12 watts it's phenomenal.

[rickmckee]

Great video and great advice telling people not to open their amplifier up. Most people do not realize that an amplifier can bite you if do not drain the caps before working on it. I have also repaired several amplifiers that have been butchered from DiY attemps at repairing amplifiers. I enjoy your content hope you continue to put out quality content.

I'm a life long acoustic player who bought his first electric just two years ago. All of this is new to me and my head is reeling from all I've had to learn, and even more from all I still don't know. Your videos have been immensely helpful and much appreciated. I bought my guitar, and Ibanez AS93, without an amp. I began playing it through my Bose Comapct that I use for my acoustic act and it works pretty well at home. Some time ago, a friend gave me a Peavey Bandit 65 that I only use when I'm home alone, but it's been great for learning what all the knobs are supposed to do. Next on the list are some pedals. Thanks again.

[kristinaluckett]

I love living out of town, the freedom to crank tube amps without complaints at will is the best. I'm currently using a 50 watt custom built plexi clone and a custom built (Achillies amplification) tweed Bassman with 1/2 power mod and master volume controls added.

[Matt_Lanzer_]

As a car guy, I can appreciate the miata reference 😂😂 miata is always the answer lmao

[misteraon]

I’ve got a Laney Lionheart L5T-112. Picked it up used. It’s one of the UK made ones before they started make them in China. Has a 12” greenback in it. Sounds great. Still really loud for 5 watts. I seldom go above 3 on the clean or drive channels.
