Think I'm gonna pick up a Two Notes Cab M+ and see how it stacks up to the Iridium.
Loving it so far

Gassing for a nice wee acoustic, parlour or similar size. I know next to nothing about acoustics (or anything really), much reading to be done!

Can't go wrong with this for a parlour. Apart from the awful colour.

The colour is the reason you can have a $1000 guitar for $295.
Don't know if they're quite that much but they play like a $1000 guitar.
Be brave; play the Blues!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Yeah.. I'd like to say I could look past it, but I find that colour particularly repulsive. I'm generally not to precious about guitar colours but... Not for me.

A small amp that does that hot blues tone stuff. After years, if not decades, of not having GAS, or buying anything even, I have a requirement.

Thinking a Blue Jr IV or similar, but I know nothing of this side of the tone spectrum.

You mean SRV pushed-BF tones, or more Tweedy?

I watched a comparison of a Blues Jr vs Vox, The Blues Jr was so much better to my ears, but it's a 'horses for courses' thing. There are a few artists who have done quite well with Vox amps, I guess. :lol:
