How much are Bellbirds worth now? If you can find one :( They are the perfect bedroom amp.

Haven't been any sold for ages that I've seen!

Actually, I also have a Bellbird that’s just been sitting in a cupboard unused for a couple of years…

I've got to say that I'm not feeling this demo at all. The thing sounds fine but unspectacular and with Chris Buck behind the strings it should knock your face off

No good for home use, really, but an excellent amp:

But my main recommendation would be the 5 Watt Laney Lionheart. Fabulous Fender-y sounding amp.

The outro to that is the first time I've seen Danish Pete concentrating. :rofl:

That amp appears to destroy my holdout position against digital amps; their clean tones were on the sterile end of utterly uninteresting.

I'm keen to try one of those.
About bloody time.
If you guys liked that, you may also enjoy this one that I filmed with Brett Kingman a few years ago. The poweramp switching on the Nextone amps is subtle and difficult to get across over YouTube, so I made sure that we used a combination of close and distance miking to get as close to an "in the room" sound as possible.



(Not sure why YT embed isn't working)
You were missing the www
Ahh thanks for the fix!

Well I had some soul searching about spending a bunch of money on an amp right now, so decided to pull the trigger on a Laney Cub Super8 on Thomann, cheap little fender champ clone that should scratch that itch for now and then I might revisit something else in a while... thanks for all the ideas peeps!
