I play blues at jam sessions with friends- no gigging- I've been shopping for something with tubes for my Jimmie Vaughan Strat -I've played through both at GC-can't seem to make up my mind- any input either way? They're both 15 watts, the Fender is about $100 more than the Epiphone, but if we disregard the price tag...I'm not looking for volume, just good reasonably-priced tone-and if anyone can point me to a low-priced tube combo amp besides these two, that would be great also..Thanks-
If you want a all tube amp and you are trying to stay at low power(the 15 watts you speak of) I would go for the Fender, its a more reliable amp then the Epiphone,but in my opinion, you should go for 30 to 50 watt tube amps, there are hundreds out there for sale, new and used.Here is a web site that I recommend to check out used and new equipment,type in daddy's junky music.com. and click on the sit that says ''Daddy's music located in New England and New York,and the east coast, they have 21 stores and some of BEST prices on used amps,I have bought from them and I am TOTALLY IMPRESSED with the quality of their used gear.I live in Indianapolis where the ''mother'' Guitar Center is and I frequently go ther to check out gear and they will beat anybodys price on gear,except on the used gear, they are too high priced, so go and at least humor me and check out the site I recommended and you be the judge. Good Luck.
