I've hardly played it (sorry... long story). I bought it new when I was 18. I've toyed with the idea of selling it. Not ready to part with it today - maybe one day. I can't help but wonder what it's worth.<br />8-)<br />Eclipse_LaurelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906814047068760205.post-31132652967328266162010-02-12T11:04:54.150-08:002010-02-12T11:04:54.150-08:00Ha!

The J=20 is a Dual 6V6 amp. I believe they are built in Korea. It was listed on Feb 5, 2010. - JCJim Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369741393336008645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906814047068760205.post-15057133240198702062010-02-12T09:47:17.772-08:002010-02-12T09:47:17.772-08:00Craig: I know it shocks us today to see these mod...Craig: I know it shocks us today to see these mods but things were very different 20 years ago. After seeing Adrien Belew with King Crimson I seriously looked into having my 1968 Competition Mustang fitted with a Floyd Rose and a humbucker (thank God it was too expensive at the time and I settled for Schaller locking tuners). And if you had a Les Paul in the 80's and didn't dump the PAF pickups for DiMarzio's you were considered a dork. We are much more respectful of original American guitar craft today - thanks in part to Antiques Roadshow LOL.<br /><br />As far as the Ampeg Reissues - the made in USA models are nice little amps especially the 12T - I remember they even came out with a hand wired PTP model a few years back that nobody bought (?) and you could find them cheap - but I personally don't love dual EL84 amps - especially modern versions (even the Blues Jr) - they require too much of a trade off between clean and saturated tone and they both seem to suffer. Give me a dual 6V6 amp for both my clean and nasty tone and I am a happy camper. But that is just me.- JCJim Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369741393336008645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906814047068760205.post-87667589030712820982010-02-12T08:04:49.571-08:002010-02-12T08:04:49.571-08:00Ugh.

I check it every day and I've made some calls based on stuff you found. Haven't bought anything yet, but that day's coming.<br /><br />What's your opinion on reissued Ampeg amps like the Jet and the SuperJet?Craig F.http://www.hemmings.comnoreply@blogger.com
