Two-in-One Guitar Amp Sounds Like Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix

Attention, budding ax gods: If you can hit the right notes, this compact rock box will make them sound like solid gold. The impeccably finished cabinet looks vintage, but it's actually a postmodern mashup: Under the retrolicious grille cloth are two sets of power tubes from the classic age of rock — dual 6V6 amps, favored in the United States by the likes of Buddy Holly, and a pair of EL84s, secret weapon of the '60s British Invasion. Flip a switch to alternate between them. Dual volume controls for each mode let you further color the tone for a jangling rockabilly sound or a fuzzed-out Hendrix snarl. Designed in 2004 by legendary amp auteur Fred Taccone, the JRT 9/15 has won scores of devoted converts — folks such as U2's the Edge. It may look small (just 21 inches high and 38 pounds), but rest assured: This baby makes some glorious noise.

===>$2600? :icon_scratch: Would seem a better plan to buy a Fender '65 Deluxe Re-issue, a BlackHeart Handsome Devil head and cab(s) and use the leftover to build a Warmoth....

Jimi Hendrix's goal was to sound like Holly. He failed at this when he made his album "Are You Experienced". Dissapointed at his failure he tried a second time with "Axis. Bold As Love". Never realising that his problem was the EL84's in his amp, Jimi set out to make his third failed attempt at re-creating Holly's music with "Electric Ladyland".

Yeah, but Buddy Holly licked the tolex.
