Re: Amp question

I second that emotion.  I think the Pro Jr. is the best bang for the 
buck in the price range and size you are looking for.  I also agree that 
you should look for the old tweed model with the blue framed alnico 
speakers.  Don't worry about reverb.  The simpler the circuit the 
better.  Get yourself a Dan-Echo.
