Bought a small Blackstar for a young guy I sort of mentor. Sounded fine, but it was an under $200.00 beginners amp.

Today, I got a small, 5 W Kustom Tube head. Did a recording job in Louisville last week and heard one for the first time.

Simple as hell, and LOUD!

Thinking of ordering the 12" cabinet made for it.

Main amp line now is JazzKat. Have three and love them. They have a tube preamp section and on-board effects.

Still use new Super Champ XD, a Roland Jazz Chorus, a Polytone and a Fender Acoustasonic, depending on the job. Rarely, I'll use a Roland Cube 30 or 60.

Then, theres the rig I have with a 1973 Bassman head, two 12's (Black Widows) and outboard effects. That rig has wheels: it's heavy as hell! Whel I use it, "it's roadie time"LOL!

Hope the BlackStar stuff is fine for you. Nigel.
