I wouldn't hold your breath, I doubt he'll post again until he buys another guitar.

I'm considering starting a collection, actually. I was completely blown away by the Epiphone Valve Junior, so I'm contemplating buyig a few small heads, including the Fender Champ, the wee Peavey yoke, and budget permitting, a Tiny Terror.

I have a 150 watt Marshall for gigging with, so it's not as if I need volume.

"Oh sorry guys, I sold it already, but I got ANOTHER Rickenbacker! Just for reference, he's a picture of the last 3426 Rickenbacker's I've had!"

Ahem...well ...anyway,Ive had a chance to play it in the bedroom now to test it against my other little amps and my impression is that it has a very sweet and warm sound playing through the low imput jack.It is not a loud amp,I can turn it up to 12 even in the high imput jack.The high imput jack adds more gain but not alot more.I played it mostly through the low imput jack because it gives me warmer clean sounds than my other amp but for really overdriven sounds at the low bedroom volumes I like my SS Tweed Bronco amp and or the really high gain stuff I like my little Marshall G-15CR.Ok that is my uninformed $0.01 worth(puts on flack jack and goes to My Ebay).

No hard feelings man, I'd love to be able to go through as many guitars as you do. Hope you enjoy the amp!

Hey thanks alot man!You know,it's just a fun hobby.By the way I also bought a Boss-Fender 65Deluxe Reverb pedal to use with this amp and I don't like it at all(my Tuna Melt trem sounds better)so I am going to take it back and maybe trade it for an Epi Valve Jr Combo just to try.

yeah, those fender boss pedals are crap. even the demo guy at NAMM didn't seem to notice how dreadfully OFF the sound they're each going for is, and he was A/B-ing one with a '65 deluxe reverb RI amp... it's typical digital modeling like you'd find on a solid-state practise amp these days, i guess.

i love that new champ dude, i've been really wanting one of those for my bedroom.
