So, I went to Guitar Center today to pick out a birthday present, my dad said, "I'll give you $-.--, plus you can add anything in your wallet and get something." So, I was looking at the mexican 72 telecaster deluxe reissue and an epiphone les paul (to give you an idea of the price range I was looking at, say it was about $550-$700), and out of curiosity asked the employee about peavey tube amps as I had previously tried and liked the XXL head. He said they had a palomino combo and a
jsx head in stock to try, but that was it. As I thanked him and began heading towards the JSX, he whispered, "blues junior." I thanked him yet again and went to check it out, only to have this catch my eye, as it was right next to the blues junior:

After some testing, and some A-Bing with a
Fender Hot Rod DeVille, this baby was sitting in my trunk. And boy, am I happy. This thing oozes and drips with 40 watts of all tube power. It's got a really nice glassy clean, and the drive channel (although not heavy) gets a nice grit, perfect for blues. It's a very slight oversaturation, and I love it (especially considering I love the blues, and credit Jeff Beck and Hendrix as my two favorite guitarists).
Overall, it's an awesome amp, I love it, and can't wait to play it some more.
Pictures will be up tomorrow
