Talk about your instrument/gear!!! (blues, drum, bass, funk)

If anyone can get their hands on one, I highly suggest a Fender Deluxe VM tube amp. They're about $800 new, but I played through one recently, and it's probably my favorite amp I've ever played through. It's got sweet built in effects, a 12" speaker, and the chorus effect is an absolute joy to mess with for different sounds.

They do have a lot of power, though, (40W is a little much for a practice amp) so you may not want to mess with one if you've got a small apartment or something.

Still, phenomenal amp.

Agreed. Those babies sound great. I am always amazed the dirty and even high gain sounds I can get out of them with just a pedal or two thrown on the overdrive channel. Fender ftw.
