I know the bluesjr is suppost to be cheaper versions of these classic tweed amps but tone and speakers and tubes i am sure dont measure up
so sound wise what charactor is the champ known for and whats missing from the Blues Jr.
Clapton was known for using a Champ for recording to get that thick distortion on Layla at low volume. and the Jr. to me ( i played one yeasterday) wasn’t close to sound thick or warm it had too much treble and sounded thin and cheap.. i want that thick warm vintage fender tone clapton had

so i saw tso at milwakee on sun and i was stuned i was also intrueged on how the lead guitarist got his sound
he used a sg a strat and what looked like a roads compleatly stipped down or mabe a vintage gibson
but for all his guitars the sound was incradable
but what did he use
it sounded really compressed with buckets of sustain
does he use an computer effects system because the were no onstage amps and everything was wireless

I purchased a used Super Reverb around 1971. I owned various other amps for different gigs but the Super was my pride and joy. the Super was stolen around 1986. I dont play much but would like to purchase a guitar amp around 50W-100W with a real good 12″ speaker. I DONT want to spend much. I know there are all kinds of knock-offs of Vintage Fender, Mesa Boogie, etc. Be it new or ebay I want something HOT but cheap…. any legit recommendations?
