I have heard of people walking into a Goodwill and buying a Tweed Champ for fifteen bucks, but not recently. THAT'S the kind of deal I'd like to see.
I thought I had checked every place that might have something, but forgot about one that's not terribly far from my house. Started as a jewelry store but they have added artwork, collectible knives, guitars & amps and the last one is partly due to the fact that the owner plays guitar and, I assume, collects. Checked out a small Vox and saw an Orange Crush 20RT sitting on another amp. I haven't been interested in little amps since "they all sound boxy". No, they don't. The used to, but that's not necessarily the case, now. I had also avoided solid state amps like the plague, but it's pretty good. I didn't have high expectations and was only looking for something to use while my other amp gets new filter caps- this one may stick around for awhile. The distortion channel is terrible- grindy, nasty, nothing I will use. I was familiar with Orange amps of the '70s, but hadn't needed something different in decades. My main amp turns 65 this month.
