Amp advice

[callous_frigid_chill]

Over the past few days, I've been looking at various amps. The three options I've whittled it down to are the Carvin Vintage 16, The Crate V16, and the Fender Blues Junior. They all seem to be generally the same in terms of features. Based on reviews I've read, the crate is better than the fender.

The advantage of the Carvin seems to be that it comes with a vintage 30 speaker stock. I was wondering if anyone could help me in my decision. The only amp I have played is the blues junior. I liked the clean, but the gain seemed kind of lacking.

I have no oppurtunity to play the others because there are no big music stores in my town.

I play the standard blues/rock.

I'd go for the V16 simply because it has master volume.

I thought all three had mv?

Re: Amp advice

Blues Jr. doesn't. I don't know about the Carvin.

Re: Amp advice

They all have a gain and volume control. I don't know if the volume is considered a master volume though.

The blues jr has a master volume and a volume control.

After weighing the options, I've decided to go with the carvin. I'll guess I'll see how it turns out.

I'd be curious about your thoughts on the Carvin after you try it. Let us know!
