[QUOTE="Graham Pearson, post: 121003, member: 2732"] Back in the late 70's, I was living in Charleston West Virginia. One day in the local newspaper, an ad read: [b]"Gibson electric guitar, red color, with practice amp, $150"[/b] I tootled on over to the guy's house with my $150, only to discover it was a 1959 Les Paul Junior and a 5W Supro Valco Champ. He was surprised when I didn't haggle over the asking price or when I didn't even ask to try it out before buying it. Today, that little Supro make a great statement on stage. It has a 5Y3-GT rectifier, one 12AX7 and one 6V6-GT. I run it flat out and stick a Sennheiser 609 in front of it. The 5Y3 gives it lots of "sag" and the tone is unbeatable for blues. The LP Junior helps too. By the way, I called the guy back after about 2 weeks to thank him for my purchase. He said "I got a lot of calls about that ad". I wonder why? [/QUOTE]
