Just picked up my first tube amp yesterday. I traded an Epiphone DR500M that I won from Sam Ash last year plus some cash in on a Fender Blues Jr NOS. I didn't much care for the Epi's tone or quality. I tried the Blues Jr III before the NOS version but to my ears the BJ NOS sounded way better. I guess it's the Jensen speaker. Anyway, I can't believe how much better my ASAT and Legacy sound through this amp compaired to my Roland Cube 80x. I now see why most people prefer a tube amp over solid state. I couldn't be happier with it!
