JJN combo

Not new, just the combo version (20W) of Jared James' fantastic Blackstar amp. If you are after more distortion but do not wish to enter heavy metal territory, this is the one to get. I tried the stack version I I believe that it will appease those blues rock fans who are after more intensity in the style of JJ himself. Particularly appealing if you have a fat single coil pickup to spare (P-90 is best). Hearing is believing:

Combo magic

Still playing my Ibanez RG460 but looking for some tight end tone-wise so it's a combo reference. There's something about small drivers that limit excessive bottom end responses. It usually works better with single coils but with the right amount of resonance going, it'd be equally appealing. Of course, having your preferred pickups in the guitar, help as well. 😁
