Hey Royboy - I agree with oldflame - you'll never regret buying a handmade, point-to-point amp. I just sold my '71 Fender Vibro Champ (a great sounding amp) because the Swart Space Tone (5 watts, no reverb, no vibrato) sounded so much better. Same thing with my Fender Custom Vibrolux Reverb - very good but not great. I also bought the 20-watt Swart Atomic Space Tone (reviewed in this month's Guitar Player Magazine) and that nails the classic Fender tone - pretty good with humbuckers and P90s, too.
My problem started 15 years ago when a friend was nice enough to loan me his '65 Blackface Deluxe Reverb for a few weeks. Lovely tone, nothing like it. That's what spoiled me. I wanted an amp that sounded just as good as that one.
I have regretted spending $$$$ on amps that were good, but not great. But I've never regretted spending the loot for a truly great valve amp. From what I have read, Dennis Cornford makes great-sounding rigs and sounds worth checking out. I've bought my share of factory-made stuff and some of it's been a good experience, but now I've changed my thinking. I know I'm sounding like an
amp snob, but there is a difference, and once you hear it, there's no going back, IMHO. Plus your money goes directly to a builder, not a corporation. Just my 2 1/2 cents.
