I just picked up the regular Tweed covered BJ. It had about 5 weeks of rental on it before I purchased it. I got it at a slight discount. At low volumes it sounds good and when the master is at 12 it sounds nice and clean, but as I start to overdrive the amp I get a slight cabinet or speaker buzz as my guitar sustains. My girlfriend noticed it right away and said "Take it back!" It also makes a slight crackle or speaker noise when I am picking on the high strings, while it is turned up when it is driven. Could this be a tube issue as I am new to tube amps? I am not sure what I should do. Take it back for refund, exchange (for brand new black tolex - thats all they have brand new) or upgrade to the Hotrod Deluxe for another $200.
I probably have 25 days left to return it.

Take it back. Why not try a 65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue? It's better built and has a lot fewer problems than the HRD series and the reverb is incredible on the DRRI. My HRDlx had many reliability problems so I got it fixed, sold it with the balance of the warranty and bought an Egnater Rebel 20.


I'd like to try out a 65 DR but the price is too much for me. I am pushing it with the HRDlx.
Does anyone have any experience with the Traynor Custom Valve 20 or Custom Valve 40?

I checked out the Traynor YCV40WR last night. I played it for about a half hour and I really liked it. I think I am going to return the Blues Jr for it. Does anyone have this amp? What do you think about it?

Thanks for your replies bbrodie. I also like the fact that the 2 year warranty is an even if YOU break it warranty! Not that I think I will but you never know! LOL!
