Have an opportunity to buy one of these locally - it's a head+cab.
What do you think of them? What's a good price? |

Valve Jr is a good amp stock, a little too dirty for me (you don�t need any od�s or distortions). Modded this amp shines, the best small amp I ever owned/heard. Of course there are better small amps but not with this price tag.
Beware so you get the latest version if you don�t want to change the OT, there is some impedance mismatch on the two first versions. Of course a Hammond OT is a lot better than the stock one in version three, but they are not cheap. A big OT is essential if you want to play this amp on full tilt anyway.
I don�t know a good price in the US, pay less for the two first versions, they are not bad but version three is definitely better. |

Hidee Ho Laurie,
NEW - the pair go for $250 at MF. I would employ the %60 rule for used in good condition. Previous thread if you didn't catch it.

I like mine. I personally think, with a higher quality transformer, it would be a superb head. GREAT for small venues or home. Word has it quite a few folks are using it in the studio as well. The ONLY REASON I didn't get the 1X12 cab with it is cause I found my Marshall VS 4X12 for under $100.
