Hello All,
I am currently debating on what amp I want to purchase. I've been speaking to Nik but I want to get some opinions from owners of these amps. I play most blues/rock with Influences such as SRV, John Mayer and Joe Bonamassa. I want an amp with a smooth overdrive, but I still want to be able to play chunkier rock through it. I want those John Mayer style cleans.
Which amp do you think would best suit my style? Which is better the 50w or the 100w?
The Bluesmaster is your amp - no question about that. It has fenderly cleans and a real smooth OD (when used with a Dumbleator)
Concerning wattage, 100w is preferable with these amps since the tone i primarily made in the preamp. If you put a 50w and 100 w side by side, the 100w will give you a 'bigger' tone at the same - even with both amps delivering the same sound pressure. And the weight difference is not more than 4-5 kgs. And the price difference (2 extra tubes and larger transformers) in really worth it.
to keep the forums alive.
