Here's a quick sound clip I recorded. I'll give it a few weeks to let the speaker break in before I record a full demo. This amp has kept a smile on my face since it got here.

Tim, That amp sounds great, It's got to be one of the best sounding amps I've heard in that price range. You did good on your research, It paid off well. 8)

Sounds good even through these little comp speakers Tim, and you say only $300,very nice deal for the money and tubed as well, perfect. For the music your doing its really going to work well for you.
I first checked out your music site the other night and listened to I walk alone-this side of town -still standing-behind these bars and blues guitar. Really enjoyed it,and certainly felt a connection to all of them as I for real have been there done that! and more. you kinda hit a nerv which brought back alot of old memories and when music does that than you know it comes from the players heart and soul. Thanks, and enjoy your new amp its a keeper.

I'm floored! :shock:

That thing sounds great! The tone (to me) sounds like a recording of an English rock band.

Congrats!!

Thanks everyone. I am very pleased with the sound of this amp. I got it from Musicians Friend where it's currently on sale for $299. This amp is the definition of bang for your buck.

Thanks Alexander. This amp definitely works for my style. And thanks for the nice comments about my music. All of my songs are products of whatever was going on in my life at the time I wrote it. It makes me happy to know that people are able to identify with them.

I gotta agree with you there. That was the first thing I thought when I played through it. The overdrive reminds me of AC/DC a little bit.

Thanks Babalooga and Mike!

So after 24 hours with this amp, and nearly that many hours playing :mrgreen: , I must say that I am really impressed with Jet City on this one. First and foremost, this being the first tube amp I've owned, the responsiveness is awesome! It's great to me how little I need to roll back the guitar volume to clean it up.
With my Hellraiser, which is an active EMG 81/85 pickup equipped guitar, it sounds good, but the longer I have the schecter the less I like the active pups. With my Aria which has passive humbuckers, it sounds great and breaks up easily. However, and just as I expected, the Tele really makes this amp shine. The amp itself is pretty bright, so to tame it down with the Tele I have been rolling the (amp) treble all the way off and using the prescence control more like the treble, and it sounds awesome. So to sum it up, I'm very pleased with this purchase, and if there was one thing I'd change it'd be the speaker. I'm thinking about replacing the Eminence-designed Jet City speaker with and Eminence Swamp Thang, or possibly a Celestion Gold. But I think I'll let this speaker break in before I make any judgments.
Overall, this amp is high quality and an exceptional bargain.

Swamp Thangs are nice speakers I might put 2 in my Twin Red Knob.

Yeah, I've liked them ever since I heard the Rivera K-tre combo. But I think the Celestion Gold would go great with this amp, so that's probably the route I'll go. I have a Carvin GT12 in my old Peavey Bandit that I might try in this amp also.
