One of the forums on the BGU bulletin board is a gear forum. Lately there’s been a lot of talk about the Fender Blues Junior which is a great little amp for home and small gigs.
I recently got one of their limited Texas Red versions and did a video of that amp with some of my favorite stompboxes. Hope you enjoy.

Living in a block of flats (I think Americans call them ‘apartments’), my little 40 watt Zephyr is more than enough; I’ve never dared to take the volume control up more than about thirty percent with the ‘overdrive’ button in the ‘on’ position.
I recently bought a Boss multi-effects pedal which is great fun to play with, and while in the shop had occasion to try a Chinese quitar… one of the more expensive ‘Zephyrs’, I think… (I’ve a feeling that name must be big in China!) and I must say that western instrument manufacturers should look to their game; China will give you some stiff competition. Although I’d never played one of these Chinese guitars before I was quite amazed at the sound… (though I still think my Gibson SG has much more ‘character’!)
the valuable content you presented do help our team’s research for our group, thanks.

Hi. I stumbled across your web site while I was searching for something completely unrelated. While I do not agree with everything you say we do have similar thoughts by and large. I’ve bookmarked your blog and will visit again in the near future to see what you are writing about in 2010!
Griff,
I enjoy your videos a lot but have to say playing at concert quality in your home is a no brainer. I use a 100 watt Marshall 30th Anniversary and a Marshall 4×12 JCM 900 Lead 1960 and it sounds blistering at even 1 or 2 watts.
The other thing is…pedals…ugh! Great for nerds but otherwise they really should be avoided unless you have a playing ‘problem’ that needs covering up. Apparently Django got by OK without pedals. A good quality valve amp, a good guitar lead and a decent guitar seem a constant winner to me. Regards, Nick (I’m English, so I may be missing the gadget fixation ‘thang’).
