I'd happily own one even if it never left the house ;;)

Intrigued. What's the damage for the 20 with all the quirks (vac, rev, etc.)? Approx. thanks in advance.

kelv_w

damn you guys aren't helping with the gas. Gotta seriously save up for it. 

The last I checked it was about £2.2k for all the add-ons (vac, rev, trem) 

hotpickups

Well in an ideal world it would be great to have all those add on's. However, I too was in your position and a little shocked at the price and went for just the J20 and no reverb or trem, saving me over £500. I do advise not to omit in the spec the VAC as that is an invaluable add on. I've had my J20 for nearly a year now and I am looking to add the reverb module and that's the beauty of the design being modular.


It's

I cannot recommend the modules enough. They may be more than your average stomp box but bear in mind, they are pure Valve driven units and they sound sublime.

I hardly ever used Reverb and NEVER used Tremolo until I got the J20 and now I rarely switch them off! The Trem is GORGEOUS and the Reverb is just beautiful!

I should be on bleedin' commission for these things....you listening Hoff?!

Haha! Yeah, I suppose that's true!

Quite simply the best amps I've ever played through. Reassuringly expensive.

the only thing that puts me off is the six month waiting list (

i just not sure i could wait that long,

hotpickups

Don't let that put you off. Some of the best things you have to wait for

IvisonGuitars

@hotpickups is right, they are more than worth the wait!

kelv_w

would love to try one but I doubt any shops have them instock?

@kelv_w Jesse used to have a couple in Chandlers as demo models but not sure if he still does. He's a great guy so if you are serious, I'm sure he can sort you out a demo - I spent a day with him at his place A/B-ing between a J40 & J80, changing valves, speakers until we found the best combination for me.

Where are you based? I'm in Worcester, off Junct 7, M5. If you wanted to make a trip to try a J20 then I'd be more than happy to give you a walk around mine

Quick update, they are £1620 basic, although they come with vac as standard and the waiting list is about 20 weeks. The is a £500 deposit too.

I am really tempted!

I will get the calculator out in a minute

kelv_w

thanks for the offer Miserneil, I'll to see if I have available funds first before making the next move. Been spending too much these few months. 

Ironically I was just in Worcester yesterday for a day out. I'm based in Birmingham so it's not too far.

There was one in Chandlers a couple of weeks ago.
