Tube amp reviews
hooper5446 asked:


Look to buy a new amps for my guitar (Les Paul studio). I 'M seeking a truly bluesy tone and a fairly knowledgeble my friend said I should definitely go with a tube amps for that. Most you find are quite expensive. I 'm. looking to spend $ 500 maximum (but would prefer to spend even less). I saw the junior blue cushion of shock, which is at the top of my price range, but gets great reviews everywhere I look at that. Some questions: This is a good amps? As I said, I 'M really seeking that bluesy tone, but also plays some rock. This gives the amps distortion at all settings? Can you suggest any other tube amps in my price range which is worth a look? Thank you!
