If you're shopping for an amp - and even if you're not...
- you're not going to beat this deal, about what you'd pay for a used one in decent shape:
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...tube-combo-amp Limited to stock on hand, runs through 11/27 - probably sell out long before then...

Wow!!! That's less than I paid a few years ago for mine. Phenomenal deal. Great amp. Mine needed re-tubed right away, but she's been going strong otherwise.

I wish we had deals like that in Canada. I'd pick one up.

If the 5w comes on sale, that might be too irresistible to not try…

I just ordered two of them. The free shipping pushed me over the edge.
I haven't gigged in a long time, but have been talking with some folks lately about doing just that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LPbs_g-5J8

I bought mine a couple of years ago on Steve DeRosa's recommendation, and I'm very happy with it. At the time I bought it, Musician's Friend was retailing them for $399.99, and when they had a 15% off sale I went to GC and they price matched. Since the pandemic, however, the price has skyrocketed, so this is a really good deal.
BTW, I did change out the tubes for JJs and I recently replaced the speaker with an Eminence Cannabis Rex, but the stock speaker is not all that bad.

Since this is, after all, the ACOUSTIC Guitar Forum, you should know that this amp with an acoustic guitar and a good magnetic pickup (mine's a Baggs M80) is a really good combo. IMO, mag pickups generally fare better with guitar amps than they do with "acoustic" amps or PA systems, and this one's especially good. So are Vox amps in general, FWIW.

) you start modding, bear in mind that the pentode/triode switch not only attenuates power to home-friendly levels, but opens up a whole spectrum of new tones of its own (mostly of the pre-Top Boost Vox variety with my current setup - specific tube/speaker combinations will change that); while I'm a summa cum loudly graduate of the Hard Knocks Experiential School of Electric Guitar Tone (Class if 1966) - as a kid in the days before stompboxes I learned in the church-basement/schoolyard-dance/legion-hall trenches what works and what doesn't - I'd plan out beforehand where I want to go with one or both amps, as things can get both frustrating and expensive should you make the wrong purchases...
