I've had several V-22s, A 1960, a 1990, a V-55 head, a 333XL and still have a 1960 infinium. They ALL sounded excellent. The 333XL was one of the early ones that had the "flameout". It was actually due to the molex connector that was used. Due to the higher heater current of EL-34's over 6L6's and using the same gauge connecter it would burn through disabling the heater on the power tubes. I just soldered the wires from that connecter directly to the pins on the PCB and the amp was bullet proof after that. The flameout thing was way overblown. I'm not aware of this happening on any of the lower wattage (V-22) amps. The V-55's were 6L6 based so I doubt it happened on any of those either. As for tone they ALL sound great and there's an amp for all tastes in their line up. That said I almost NEVER use my last remaining Bugera amp. Not that it's not great sounding I just moved on from it.

They are both great. I love Blues Jrs. though. The Fender just has the tone I live for. I tend to run mine into a Jet City ISO cab with a Scumback speaker. It rips cranked. Then I hear whatever comes through my mic of choice through my studio monitors. AC-15 sounds amazing too this way (yes I have both amps) but I find the BJ in the box more these days.

My mother in Law (they are from Minneapolis) waited on him in some resteraunt back when he was just hitting the big time. She said he was a very nice and polite young man. He was very gracious and well spoken to her and thanked her for her service and left her a very generous tip. She had no idea who he was but my wife and brother in law (this would have been before we ever met) filled her in on who it was. She had only good comments on his behavior but said he barely touched his food!! Now in comparison I find the vast majority of "rising" pop stars to be complete {censored}heads.

I have both amps and I will say the Blues Jr. is not in the same league. That being said, I love them both dearly. If you can afford to have both do it.

Originally posted by Alchemist MF is pretty good, they also get a bunch of exclusive items at great prices. If you boycott every company with stupid employees on the salesfloor, you might as well build yourself a cabin somewhere deep in the woods and avoid society:wave: Or you can get over yourself and just deal with it. Now theres a thought! That my friends is a reasonable and intellegent reply!! GC people are just makin' a living just like real humans should. FWIW I Love the CG near me. And I was in the one in Scottsdale AZ recentely and found those folks to be tops
