I would save up though, my J20 went head to head with a proper vintage Fender 5e3 and the J20 blew it away. I’ve also played a Rift and that also was sublime.
The Lazy J works as a complete package as it can have reverb & trem built in, in a very lightweight portable format. There's also a good community out there.
They come up from time to time in the classifieds or on the facebook group.
I love my Gartones.

I’ve owned three Lazy J 20s but I’ve moved them all on as they just don’t have enough clean headroom for me for gigs (we don’t mic up). They’re all about the tweed break-up sound imho, and for me it’s a lot of money to have tied up in a home-only amp. Plus the trem and reverb are in very awkward places. They do make a lovely noise though, if you like that sort of thing.
I’ve also had a Victoria 1x12 5e3 type and that was a lovely amp, shouldn’t have sold that one...
Lazy J wasn't marketed initially. It spread through word of mouth. It got big when some of the guitar magazines picked up on it, but I'd already had mine a while by then.
I didn't get those emails. They just had one in Chandlers when I was in there. Mine doesn't even have a Lazy J logo. Jesse offered to put one on for me later, but I thought it was cool to have an early one like that without.
Speak to Martin at MJW amps, they are excellent value and every bit as good as Lazy J. Martin knows all the mods available to the circuit and can talk you though the options.
Loving my MJW Tweed, can take 6L6.
I'm sure they are very good. If I was in the market for an amp now, I might explore some of those options. When I bought my Lazy J, it was quite a lot cheaper than they are now.
