This is a great deal. It's basically a Fender Blues Jr IV which is $800 new.

Addendum: I am re-evaluating my amp buzz only issue, my newish one does have 105C good heat rated filter caps afterall; but they are ChongX brand. It could be another issue. Tear down again and testing...

Old:
It's a great amp when it's $200; but no thing is perfect. If you want a tube amp with balanced tube watts then this covers substantial ground. Classic tube circuit, 12ax7's and EL84's, after the Laney Cub 12R mostly(not exact). Oh, and the Harley Benton version is 240V. They also have a very interesting HEAD version of this, I hope we will get. This amp is a bit on the Marshall side (circuit heritage). But it is flexible for somewhat spanky cleans if you tweak it. And to about hair metal, if you gain it up. Of course a Tube Screamer or whatever in front can put it over the top, to higher gain metal and even creamy. And a fender (twin like) brighter toned box could be used up front too (without mods).

Make sure you don't use any bad speaker-out cables or you can blow the output transformer. It's built as well as famous name brand amps; but like them you should be careful with the connectors.

It is NOT 26% off really. Ironically It is more than 26% more here, than it was lately within a year or so, and it was of course far less historically.

It's excellent circuit is almost identical. It has a tank reverb. And 1W (Cathode trick) switch instead of separate inputs, its 120V US, and a certain cab, 12" speaker and look, etc...

You could think of it as better than most PCB Blues Juniors (many models), technically. For several reasons.
This thing only weighs 25lbs and it's not built poorly. Similar to typical PCB amps today. Great value. EQ, mild Reverb, Effects loop connections, and a complete combo with Celestion 12" guitar voice speaker well matched to its compact case acoustics. A V30 swap out did NOT help it. The speaker is far under rated. It's fine for all styles.

Oh yeah, this thing can do bedroom volume; but not best for apartments. Meaning with the gain up, the volume can be on like 0.8, not even 1. And this does mean it can play with a loud drummer too. And decent headroom for cleans too, with gain low. This is not limited to a practice amp as it is not a practice-only amp. It's the type of amp you can do almost everything with.

Great amp.. not the best price. Unless you absolutely want it now, I'd recommend holding off and saving 50 bucks.

Currently running it with a Bantamp hybrid pushing the Monoprice V30 12" cab. Sounds marvelous pushing my Tonex DI Amp captures.

These have been out of stock for quite a while and are now at pre-tariff prices. I think it's a good time to get one.

The Laney Cub goes for about the same price as a Blues Jr (700-800) so still a solid deal.

Yup, I have this amp. It punches way above it's price. Highly recommended. Just remember, it's tube. So it can get LOUD, even at 15watts.

I bought it for $229 on 3/31, thus the reasoning for my comment.

If you want to get technical, based on actual inflation this amp might be $255 today. But see that's an average and this is slick deals. You should know the price could be $150 for many different reasons. Not likely; but it could be easily, under the right factors. Do not use tariffs or inflation to automatically pay more. There are too many used amps out there, going for less. And all this does not eliminate another $200 or $225 sale possibility! Historically it has been quick. Meaning offered for an hour or similar. About one to two times a year. Set your notifications. Be ready. Or just buy used. However; used this amp could be a lot more (oddly), or a lot less occasionally, as used. Less if worn, of course.
S
You should (a value choice) also be looking for a Katana 100 something used (not new Katana prices), and deeply, DEEPLY discounted. With this tube amp then you'd have the non-tube stuff to mix and match with it. And this (new) tube amp can work well with a multi (effects/amps/IR's/USB) pedal/device, similar to Katana effects, if not quite as many.

Start with a Humbucker at least in the bridge, if you ever play heaver stuff. End with a V30 (bigger cab) or better. Or Creamback. Some enjoy a green back, or classic sound blue or gold AlInCo speaker swap and that might work for you. Fine business; but I'd save those for a bigger cab. That's all more weight though. And you can do a lot with the built in EQ. [If you ask me I will send some knob settings for you to try.]

I've tried (and failed) to avoid amp heads because they cost more (why??) than the combo values; but it's nice to pair with different cab(s) and speaker(s), or use other amp heads and devices. As usual, I condone tubes and non-tube possible mixed gear. That way can even be less expensive. Combined gear can save you money; but not all put together parts will. Oh and there are a billions of gear/tone chains and ways to do it, and people have there own combinations. Best wishes.

Good inexpensive amp. I have this and a Fender twin reverb, the fender is etirely too loud in the house. This works out great.

Got one when it was 140 USD with free shipping. It's a nice amp with good breakup. Run a Zoom G3NX multi FX pedal through the FX loop for looping, noise gate, time and modulation FX. It gets loud enough to give you hearing damage.

And it's technically the model before, if you bought it new, right? Is it a "TV" style cab? Basically the same agreed; but they upgraded that blue tank, etc...

Great amp for the price. I have one. Swapped out the tubes for JJs and it really came alive, especially the reverb.
