I'll gladly champion the VHT special 6 over it (with a tube change once you get it probably 25 bucks and very simple). Your delay is just going to come from a pedal regardless. Many of you (I think) have blues juniors. Wondering about others in the price range for low wattage and bluesy. ![]() I wanna say most guitar stores are going to have those two in stock (or some sort of AC10) so try both out. Ok, ordered a Vox AC10C1 and got it today. Not sure any of the amps listed are country per se. You get your crunch on with it too for sure. There's a lot of control of the knobs to go from (Vox) cleans to dirty (Vox dirt that is). It's a nice alternative to the Fender amps I have. I don't know how it would sound for country though. It's better than the 7 for just a few buck more. It's got a master on it and reverb and a gain switch. The Cub-Super12 is a single-channel amp with two inputs. Again, its ceramic magnet is medium-weight everything about the Cub-Super12 is geared up to be portable. It has a HH Electronics H12-65 custom speaker. You can't go wrong.Bassbreaker 15 if you go with a bassbreaker, even if you have to wait to save for it. The Laney Cub-Super12 has a trio of 12AX7s in the preamp and pair of EL84 power tubes. If you can justify the cost, and are forced to get just one, go for the Princeton. It is a pleasantly surprising amp with complex tones that still puts a smile on my face every time I play it. If money is a concern, get the Vox and never look back. At home it still has that great Vox tone at low volume, and will give you the crunch you need, but is a little more selective as to which pedals work best. It's Blues tone is definitely more '60's British, but still lush. Its bright, loud, punchy, and can rock with the best of them. For live playing, I probably like it a bit more than the Princeton. But, remember, its twice the price of the Vox. It is a great example of a 6V6 power tube amp. You can shape more different tones with it, especially in a home, studio, or recording setting. It takes a wider range of pedals a little better than the Vox. The Princeton has more tonal range, meaning from a true Fender-y clean, to a wonderful, creamy distortion, to tremolo drenched surf style, to a glorious muted jazz tone. So, how to choose?

If the band is a really loud one, just put a PA microphone on either amp and you're good to go. They both hang in great in a small band scenario, and I have used both, un-miced, with two other guitarists and a drummer with no problem. If you plan on using pedals to get your drive, I’d suggest the Fender. If you plan on using the amp’s drive, I’d go Vox. First of all, both meet your criteria above. I like the Blues Junior cleans better but the Vox drive better.
