I played a "Blue" for a little while in a local shop that was there on consignment. Its a 3 channel amp with clean, crunch, and lead.
Clean was on the Voxy side rather than fender and pretty damn good, crunch was fun and sounded good although a little mushy, lead was a cool Brian May/70's rock sizzly lead. Not enough body for metal (which I don't play anyway). I imagine it would cut pretty well in a band setting, but I wouldn't have used it for a rythm sound as it was very sizzly and a lil' thin.
Overall a nice variety of vintagey tones, with a little of its own voice. Price tag on it was $550 USD for the head (used), and I came really, really close to picking it up but I ended up getting a great deal on an Orange AD30TC and cab so I passed up on it.
I'm pretty sure tlbonehead has a Blue Beetle or Mighty Mouse and he may chime in here and give some more input.
Thanks for contributing.
I'm looking at the 30 watt tube amps, such as the Mighty Mouse Mark II and the Super Beetle 20/30 watt.
It seems like what I want looking at the clips, but I'm really unsure of the pricing as my budget is $800 cad. And I'd most likely be going new.
I haven't heard much about these amps as well, so I don't know if I can trust the reputation. I mean, I won't mind spending $800cad on a Mesa or Fender, but George Dennis is really new to me.
Was the 'blue' one you played 60/100 watts? or neither?
