Hey GC, I was wondering if you guys could give me some input on a possible Fender amp trade?
There's a Fender Concert Amp 60 watt tube amp for sale/trade on CL. The seller says they'll trade for smaller Fender tube amp btw.
Fender Concert Tube Amp
I dunno too much about the amp, but at the moment, I'm playing a Fender Blues Junior and was thinking about possibly using it to trade for the Concert Amp.
I play a lot of clean guitar tones, so if I do trade, I'm mainly trading for the headroom/60 tube watts. When I play dirty/fuzzy tones, I don't utilize the natural tube overdrive of the Blues Junior and I just mostly use a Big Muff, as well as a Boss SD-1 overdrive. I also use a lot of modulation/delay as well and I'm in a two man band that plays a lot of No-Age fuzzy garage rock type stuff.
So do you guys think it's a good trade? I actually dunno much about the Concert amp series, just that the name makes it seem like it's meant for, well, concerts. Another part of me wants to trade of my blues junior because the last time I practiced with it, it was cranked loudly as far as cleans go (Vol was on 7, master was all the way up) and I felt like my Big Muff was really pushing it to clipping levels. Maybe it was just so loud that I couldn't differentiate, but yeah, I dunno. Lawlz. Then again during shows, they DO mic up your amps, but yeah, 60 watts of tube + headroom sounds pretty lucrative for me! =P
Anyways, any opinions/thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot for reading thru this mini essay!
