Ah yes - nothing says clean like "vanillia". I wonder if that's the same thing as "vanilla", though one could assume that its probably much cleaner. Indeed, HC is a great resource, but as with anything, you have to take some of the reviews with a grain of salt, and let your fingers / ears be the real judge.
I must also say your J50 is a fine looking amp. And that pull-gain knob doesn't look quite so "hairy" in person, either.
