18 to 30 watt amp fever (tube amp content)
Lately I've been really sinning over wanting one of the new low watt tube amps from companies like Greer, Dr. Z., Winfield etc. I know this is getting into the handwired boutique territory but the sound of these low wattage amps cranked up is sweeeeet-uh. I've got a 50 watt Marshall Jubilee (all tube) and although it's got rippin' butt cosmic ultra gain stage...there's nothing like the simplicity of naturally overdriven power amp tubes at reasonable sound levels. I'm not talking overdrive pedal sound...I'm talking sweet EL84 drive and luscious tone and bite. To get a similar sound from my amp would mean me playing alone at home, standing in the next room blah blah blah. It isn't the same. Besides the Jube is pushing the bigger bottle EL34s which are totally different. Anyone else have a sweet tooth for these babies?
