Can't you tell everyone to turn the f*** down?
Of course, if you're just seeking sanction to go out and buy another amp then... everyone should have something Marshall'esq in their arsenal.
I use mine either on its own or with a Bas Cat Black Cat (a LOUD 30w Matchless DC30 equivalent) and a Top Hat Emplexador (boutique 50w Marshall). If I am playing loud, which is rarer these days, the Lazy J20 can easily fart out and won't compete with the other two - especially the Black Cat which has notoriously good headroom. In these situations I generally leave the J20 at home and use the other two. Or I might take the J20, run it loud and blend it in with the 'main' amp as an extra texture. Works great.
That said, our loud gigs are LOUD and far exceed the 'normal' pub/club gig levels.
And obviously this whole conversation is irrelevant if you are miking up.

As an aside I turned my lj20 into a two channel amp yesterday by running an a/b box into it. Normal volume set low for cleans and bright volume higher for dirt with a cable into each input. Sounded great!

For an amp with such limited controls, the LJ is surprisingly versatile, imho.
I havent gigged mine in anger yet, but I couldnt imagine it running out of headroom... When I visited Jesse' house and he serviced my J20, he did a quick run through the dials, and i was amazed at the versatilty.
Maybe it won't hold pure clean 'cleans', but it will be awesome sounding.
So, is the Tone King still around mate ?
