Thanks to the advice of some of the folks here ( perhaps Singemonkey adn Rienhard?) i bought mice elf a Laney cub 12.
Really a cool little amp, specially the tube combo they have in there, its pretty much exactly the distortion i wanted ( without a big muff ofc).
after 2 days of mostly clean jamming on the 1w channel and a couple of "standing on my balcony with it cranked" it started to vary in volume, sort of like when the amp hasn't warmed up yet, only after 15 minutes, and a strange static sound under each clean note ( not distortion, this was almost separate from the note itself and under it).
the dude took a listen and organised that ( after some prompting) i collect another one in somerset west at no charge.
class
the amp i originally bought was very old stock, the screws were actually a bit rusted and on the way home while my wife drove, when i had the amp on my lap i noticed one of the power tubes was skew in its socket, pins showing ( though not more than 1.7mm ).
a) it pays to check the amp out before you buy it and
b) paul bothners rocks.
thank you for listening, go do something productive now. ?
