Need help chosing an entry level tube amp

No worries. Being on the 'net builds thick callouses <grin>

And you're probably used to it, being an idiot.

Careful with the stones in that house <grin>

I have a big pair of stones  :icon_biggrin:

So the Blue Jr is claimed to be great driving a cab, anyone have experience with the Bugera?

Thanks!

Never tried to drive anything with the Bugera V22. I really like the thing though, apart from the so-so digital reverb which I get through my multieffects anyway. It sounds good in my condo, at reasonable condo volume, and the price is right.

I also have some exp with the Jr., it's a decent enough amp and obviously has a ton more history. I considered buying one but there were a few drawbacks I didn't care for, and frankly there was both an Epi Valve and the Bugera that I thought sounded a little better to me (maybe not so much "better" as a better match for what I play). With the price difference on top of that it was easy to pass on.

And really if I was spending Blues Jr money I'd rather just go with an AC15
