Re: Amp took a dump 
Eh, go for the 30... the 8" speaker in the 10 sucks for bass (records just fine, though)...

RE 10 vs 30: I'm playing exclusively at home. The 10 looms like it can be had used for around $100, also.

Re: Amp took a dump
So am I... The speaker *really* lacks for bass. (It was my only amp for something like 8 years, dude... trust me on this. If I had to buy one all over again, I'd get a 30 (of which there's one on the 'bay for $125)).
And you can't just throw any speaker under it - they claim the speakers they use are voiced for their preamps, so (supposedly) you can't build a speaker cab and throw it on top, but I'm not sure I buy that.

I'd believe it. The Trademark was the only amp I ever tried that had some sort of speaker voicing in the effects send. (It didn't work for the way I use amps... effects send into computer and adding speakers via software.)

Re: Amp took a dump
Glad to hear that rebooting it solved it.
One time, I bought a Line 6 Flextone off a guy for $100 because I was positive it only needed a system reboot. I made money on that deal. Another time, I got a guy's L6 to sound right by realizing all his patches had the noise gate all the way up.
I have a Vox Valvetronix head that stopped working, and stupidly gave up on it for 2 years. A forum member suggested that I scrub out the jacks. It instantly came to life when I sprayed Deoxit into the FX loop jacks and scrubbed them with a Q Tip.

A blues junior would be cool, but give a Peavey Classic a try. They are cheaper than Fenders and they sound great. Used Classics can be very cheap.

You are correct sir. Peavey never gets the attention they deserve, but my wallet likes this.

Re: Amp took a dump
Been playing an old Carvin XV-212 for years, and that thing always fires up and lasts through a practice, or show with no hiccups. Played my Jet City Picovalve for quite a few years, with a variety of tubes and the only problem I ever had was it cutting out at one practice due to a dying power tube (one of the several that I have run through it, the rest with no problems, 6l6's, KT-77's & 88's, and 6CA7's.
