I suppose that depends on the bedroom... but yes, I understand what you're saying. This will be used in a small studio setting (the primary room is just over 400 sq. feet) and 99% of this amps use will be clean. Yes, the Fillmore 25 would have done the job but it was $100 more expensive than...

Yes, it has a front panel switch that drops it to 25 watts. I suppose the 50 watts might come in handy when you want to stay clean and need the extra headroom. I also saw a review that suggested that on the high gain mode it didn't seem as loud as a 40 watt Pro Reverb. Regardless, I should...

As a follow-up.... it appears that I'm going to end up with access to 2 new amps out of all this. Not long after the early posts in this thread I found an online retailer that appeared to be clearing out their M/B Fillmore 50's. I was able to get one for just under $2K new. That does NOT...

Egnater - "Not on your list, but it's a cool little amp. It reacts to a variety of speakers nicely, and each guitar retains its individual character". I've heard of them, but never heard one. Thanks for the info. --------------------------------------- Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister20. They...

Thanks for all the Mesa-Boogie replies …. As I noted earlier here, my first choice was MB because of their Fender connection. The first negative I heard about MB was from a tech who hated working on them for the way they were put together…. Later upon layer upon layer… and if something on the...

My criteria: Under $2k Tube Good to great clean channel Front panel controls 12” speaker Combo format preferred So, PRS Sonzera - Fender Princeton or Deluxe Reverb - Mesa/Boogie 2:20 - REVV D5 - used Dr Z - I’ve ruled out 5150 - Black star - Marshall - Vox They are not the clean sound I’m...

I did look at the Boogie-Mesa Cal series of amps. I just hear horror stories about Mesa reliability and I read that techs hate working on them. It just strikes me as a bad combination. The 2:20 combo was 1st on my list until I started asking around. Thanks for the suggestion…. I can’t...

...or at least MOST of it. I'm located in Alaska and as such I have an 800 mile flight/trip to put ears on an amp. As a consequence, I do a lot of YouTube listening especially since I'm in the market for a low-watt (25 or less) amp that's versatile. I've been exploring Dr. Z, Fender DRRI...

Was the humm problem ever ID'd? And what was the fix? Thx

"My Sonzera 20 died for the third time in six months, so I'll kick it out the door." Any word on the problem with the Sonzera 20? I'm thinking strongly of buying one.... Any idea what the failure was? Also, was this one of the newer Sonzera's? Or the original version?

Do a bit of Googling and look for the "Bill M" mods for the Blues Jr. Bill passed away a couple of years ago but hopefully someone picked up the process. The package I got included hardware (Switchcraft switches and jacks/plugs) instead of the cheap plastic stuff. Plus, component changes on...

Neil - Any follow-up on your amp? I'm about to drop $$$ on a low wattage tube amp and I'd love to know how this turns out!

This post was a very good (and enlightening) read. I'm about 1 paycheck from pulling the trigger on a 20(ish) watt tube amp. I've been considering Dr. Z, Fender DRRI and a few others. This post and PRS's follow-through have me looking more seriously at the Sonzera. Thanks for posting thru to...
