The bugera v5 rat modified amp sound like this, using a harmony goldfoil and the buggocaster

Yup that Rat amp sounds great El84 valves, I got an old mullards in mine
add a little valve drive pedal and your away/ Blues driver is good with it too. The reverb sounds good.
Also see the Gear for music copy of the fender blues amp in blue £249,I got one on the bay for £100 a great little amp apart from the colour. Its a fender junior blues amp clone, i drive mine with a orange micro cube lol. the rat stuff has power scaling so you can turn it up but the output down so you still have neighbours. See my page I have tried most amps. In the end a 1x12 cab and any valve amp driven hard works for me :>)
if you want cheap a microcube works, i quite like the twin input version.
Also a digital tuneable fender mustang amp also gives you most sounds you could need. I have had the bug rat against one and you coukldt tell the difference on the right settings. But i love that warm fuzz.but RAT amps dont buzz or hiss at all, so you can record with them. Unlike the fender clones which are fine live.
A great gigging amp would also be a tiny terror combo but no reverb, but the fender clone has the reverb but a 10" not a 12"...so each to their own
For recording I use a line pod UX2 and acid pro, for lots of latency issues ! lol but it sounds greeeat.
hope this helps, go rat you cant go wrong but pricey
hi there, thanks for the shout. havent been on here in a while:)
Yeah! Plus coordinating those hammer ons and pull offs with the alternating thumb is kind of a juggling act. Keep at it!
Thanks for the friend request and your kind words about my Mystery Train video. It was an arrangement I came up with on my own for 3 string CBG. There are a few good tutorials on you tube for 6 string but the trick is to figure out how to adapt those to CBG gits. I might have to put this on my list of tutorial requests.
