tube amp talk in response to bluepowder's request...
this sale, if you are after a top end tube unit, do consider:
*Peavey JSX (head)
*Peavey Triple XXX 112
*Fender 59 re-issue Bassman
*Fender Deluxe Reverb
*Fender Twin
these units will appease those who are after a good default drive, the JSX was voiced to be a little more varied tone-wise. it also has a default noise-gate, very useful this one. if you adore Fender's tube tone, the above-listed models should be sensible investments since they are 50% off.
some mid-priced models to consider:
*Laney LC30II
*Laney VC15
*Laney VC30
*Peavey Ultra 112
*Peavey Triple XXX Super40FX
the LC/ VC range saw a sharp increase in price WEF 2005. i wouldn't recommend them on non-sale days due to the price factor per se, but their tone is respectable. if you are looking for above-average clean tones but couldn't get along with what Fender has to offer nevermind if the Twin is revered in many aspects, Laney's LC/ VC models are the ones to check out, be quick though as stock are down to like 5/ less...
any budget tube unit to acquire this sale?
*Ibanez ValBee (waiting for the number of units left for this sale...)
