It shocked me, everything ive felt I learned i like in a guitar it had it, I also realized from it I like 10 gauge strings more than 9s. The neck wasnt satin but the finish wasnt sticky at all to me, the tones were beautiful and the mini humbuckers had a perfect balance of not so much drive that loses tone and not so little drive that it has low output. ---

Excellent and I would agree with 10’s. With the shorter scale length 9’s would annoy me and probably have a lot of broken strings. So happy you got a choice one and loving it. ---

They really are hard to beat. I think everyone in our local “blues society” plays through one. My brother has a funky blue and purple one. My favorite has always been my Kustom tuck n roll with the back taken off. ---

My Blues Jr is pretty heavily modified. Beyond the 30 watt conversion, I wired the unused triode in V2 as a cathode follower after the tone stack, modified the capacitors in the power stage and tone stack, I also wired in a Tiny Terror tone circuit that can be switched on or off. The tiny terror uses a capacitor and volume pot wired across the input to the output tubes. This creates a “misalignment” that gives a more resonant tone control to it. The flexibility that adds to the tone is crazy. I have also a presence control wired in. The result is I can go from insanely ear piercing sparkle to incredibly Marshall-esque mid heavy crunch with the TT tone on, and a harder Fender crunch than the amp was ever capable of. It’ll now accept a wide range of power tubes from the original EL-84 to KM66/EL-34 and many in between. I’ve been loving it with EL34s. If I had a stack to hook it to…🫨🤤 ---

I’m guessing you’re not big on pedals. Sounds like that amp will get any sound you would need out of it! I like a spring reverb and maybe trem on my amp, but I don’t have to have it. I had a Fender Musicmaster and an old Magnatone with just volume and tone knobs, and got some good sounds out of them. I know I’ve never had a pedal that stuck. They get used more for my keyboards… Chorus to thicken them up. And Casio beats sound really cool through a wah pedal! I was playing a disco version of Rocketman before Elton himself went and remixed it. ---

No.. I like pedals too. The amp has a spring reverb built in which is always on a tad. I love a Pink Floyd echo. 🤤 I’ve wanted to upgrade the reverb tank in that amp for a long time. So long I can’t even remember the tank I was considering. 😅 Quite honestly, for me it’s just that I never was able to leave things alone. Always tinkering. ---

Not sure how I haven’t chimed in on this one yet lol. Before I got so deep into collecting yo-yos, I had a LOT of guitars. I worked at a handful of music stores over the course of 20 years or so and played in a few bands. Here is a photo from 2010 when I was 20 years old and working at Guitar Center in Florence KY. ![IMG8260](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/e/c/cecebb897f51848865a3fcacf52653265f7316ac.jpeg) Here is one from 2016ish when I had a practice space in my basement. ![IMG8275](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/2/c/72c70ee6aa42251badd15bc90a3ada1c725f9356.jpeg) My current collection consists of: -1969 Gibson ES-340 -1948 Gibson L50 -2009 Fender Mexi Standard Tele - Bigsby added -1981 Ibanez IC50 Iceman -1978 Ibanex IC100 Iceman -2000ish Ibanez IC300 Iceman -Probably 3 or 4 other random Icemen that are in various stages of disassembly -1980 Ibanez RS800 Roadster Bass My main band was a prog doom band called Troll, based in Portland, OR. We put out [two full albums](https://trollpdx.bandcamp.com/) and toured around the US a bit. Most of my main stage guitars were Icemen, which is why I still have so many of them. About 4 years ago I was playing guitar in a band and our drummer quit, so I sat in on drums “until we found a replacement.” We never found a replacement. I left that band and joined a new one, and now I am a drummer. Current band is [Big Joke.](https://bigjoke.bandcamp.com/album/five-songs-without-you) Here are some photos of the more significant guitars I have had over the years. I bought this Ric 481 slant fret from Peter Buck (REM) and did a few mods to it. Eventually swapped it all back to original and traded it for a '65 Pontiac Catalina. The Tele was a '62 reissue. ![IMG8262](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/6/5/b658543b44cfc3af116bae0ab216cb14cf7493d8.jpeg) ![IMG8271](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/1/d/91d94f68f194f7601e71551bacc25e5430cb6d44.jpeg) ![IMG8276](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/b/f/0bf4e2a5b2cf4f2146767d3716b9ca4d63689e5a.jpeg) Here is my '69 ES-340 ![IMG8268](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/9/a/49adcd0d7aedd02ff429b629c1f48240ec055d54.jpeg) MOONSAULT ![IMG8269](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/e/d/bed5b4a5642057d19080dc9196c52a35a195717b.jpeg) Ibanez has always been my favorite guitar company.
