Someone please save me from myself, I want this but don't need it and I've just spent a fortune upgrading my PA.

Anyone who is wanting to buy a Lazy J20 but can't quite stretch to it financially, this is the amp for you, absolutely side by side with a J20, the Bluesman is possibly a touch more organic and vintage sounding but it's a TOTAL killer of an amp.

Actually, sod it. You lot have got 24 hours to snap it up or I'm having it!

Ahhhhh. I just last week paid my deposit to start the build of one of these!

Having said that, Martin has been such a great bloke answering loads of questions over the past few months that I'm very happy to be ordering a new one from him.

Crap. Why did you have to post that

You buy it to put me out of my misery of having no money or a band at the moment @miserneil

Hasn't got reverb or power reduction though. See I'm talking myself out of it already

guitarpolo

Who needs reverb on a tweed deluxe ? ;-)

hotpickups

I thought that until I got it fitted on my J20. But not totally important I guess as you can use a pedal of course. Don't talk me round

guitarpolo

Oh I wouldn't dream of it @hotpickups. I think you should buy my Stageman instead.

IvisonGuitars

Reverb and Power Scaling?? Man up @hotpickups! ;-)

hotpickups

Lol I was tempted by that too as you know. However I'm thinking I won't need that much power now. Fickle I am

hotpickups

You're not the first person to say that lol

hotpickups

I wonder if it's possible to add a VAC control to these? Surely Jesse doesn't only have the secret

I have one just like it. Hands down the best 5E3 I ever heard, and I've had a few, including an original '59. These are LOUD. Martin threw the kitchen sink at these early ones, look at those caps! Rob.

IvisonGuitars

Master volume are not what these amps are about @hotpickups, turn it up and control the volume on the guitar - but you know that already! :-)

hotpickups

Yep I do. However there are times I like to plug on at home and it is a bit to loud for that etc

Either that or move house I guess

Rob.

Rob talks total sense. In fact I'm going for this...will see if I can strike a deal.

Saved me

But you've already got a J20 with VAC!?!
