  1. Absolutely great sounding amp at a usable 20 watts. Excellent condition. Used only in the home. No longer made as Jerry is endorsed elsewhere now. BE channel is worth the price of admission but you also get a solid clean channel and the JBE boost if you want all of that sludgy, high gain Alice In Chains sound. Only selling because I find that my IR-J suits my preferences and needs a little bit better Cab is a vertical and ported 212 loaded with V30’s, 100% stock. Cheapest I found the head used was at a Guitar Center for $1,050 before tax & delivery. I’ll do it here for $1,000 shipped PPFF for the head only. Open to other forms of payment if you prefer. If you want the cab, I would do $1,800 for the pair and you cover the shipping. Shipping that cab can’t be cheap so I’m willing to meet up a couple hours outside of Chicagoland if you prefer. Also open to trades for cool guitars or amps. More than happy to take additional pics if you want them. Here’s the details if you wanna read it all… Dave Friedman teamed up with Jerry Cantrell and captured the Alice In Chains guitarist’s iconic tone and ferocity in the Friedman JJ-100 - Cantrell's first ever signature amp. The JJ-100 was an instant success. Not being the types to leave a great thing alone, they decided to cram all that punishing tone and grind into a stage-friendly 20-watt monster. Introducing, the Friedman JJ-Junior. The JJ-Junior still gives you the same 2-channel, EL-powered tone that has carved out a legendary place in rock. All of the saturated, complex harmonic overtones are still lurking inside, as well as the AC30-like cleans. At 20 watts, the JJ-Junior lets you take the stage, studio, or jam session with total confidence. Jerry and Dave spent years perfecting the "JJ" sound. Now, you can have the same tonal experience, in a smaller format, without sacrificing the attention to detail that goes into every Friedman amplifier. The JJ Junior features and internal load and cab-simulated XLR output. Comparing this analog circuit to some of the most intricate computer-based IRs, Dave achieved a direct output you can proudly send to front of house or use in the studio. The JJ Junior also allows you to play "silently," meaning you can safely play the amp WITHOUT having a speaker cabinet connected. The XLR output includes a ground-lift, level, and center/edge of speaker cone simulation switches. The JJ Junior was specifically designed to take pedals well especially boosts, ODs, phasers, flangers, tremolos, and wahs. The ultra-transparent buffered, series effects loop takes time-based effects pedals and rack units equally well. This is the exact same FX loop Friedman uses on all its amplifiers including the legendary BE-100. The head cabinet features beautiful black Tolex, with Baltic Birch construction and the same grille cloth used on the original JJ-100. Features: Jerry Cantrell’s signature grind in a compact tube head 20-watt EL84 power section, perfect for most stages, studios and rehearsals Dirty and clean channels serve up Cantrell gain and AC-like chime JBE switch unleashes even more gain and harmonic content Ultra-transparent series FX loop SPECIFICATIONS 20-Watt all tube Head Two channels 2 x EL84 power tubes 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes JBE voicing switch for a higher gain more saturated sound Clean channel: single volume knob with bright switch Dirty channel: gain, master, treble, middle, and bass Global presence knob XLR Cab Simulated output with Ground Lift, Axis and Level switches. You can record without having your speaker connected 8 and 16 ohm impedance selector
  2. I regretted letting go of the one with cream rings & top hats so I grabbed the one with black rings and domes ~10 years later…
  3. As the youngest of 4, I spent all the years up to my preteens listening to my older siblings records and cassettes. This album came out in June 1991, 1 month before my 13th birthday and it was the first (CD) I ever bought. Still my favorite of the Sammy era.
  4. I played a similarly equipped RR50 head a few months ago. Absolutely amazing sounding amp. If you want the vintage Plexi sound without paying the vintage Plexi price, this is your ticket right here. Buy from Bubs!!!
  5. Congrats to the lucky new owner. You’re getting a phenomenal instrument from one of the best sellers on the board. Buy from Bubs!
  6. Thanks for chiming in! Cool story about Andy during the early years and how that guitar ended up with him after it all. And I just went back and looked at the heads. They are noticeable shorter. 😂 I totally didn’t notice that before!
  7. Couple of cool 4-digits being shown off. https://youtu.be/gsW8YDspraE?is=JRaBHsEcIPi8dyQo
  8. I did not. But I was considering heading back over there this weekend and trying it out, if I can get away for a little bit…
  9. Nice looking Mirage II. Love me some Mirages. For those who don’t know, the bodies on the Mirage II’s (and maple tops) are slightly thicker than the bodies on the Mirage I’s. This along the the dual humbuckers beefs up the sound a bit and brings it closer to that of a LP style guitar compared to the more big strat sound of the Mirage I. The II’s still have a bit more snap than a traditional LP with their 25.5” scale and vintage trem. But, they’re a great in-between. In my experience, with different pickups and an upgraded bridge (I put the MannMade in my koa mirages), you have a real PRS killer for less $. GLWTS!
  10. NA other than that it’s local to me. I saw it earlier today when I went to grab some knobs for my Charvel project. I can go back and play it, do a closer inspection, if anyone wants. If someone really wants it, I can offer cash for a lower price https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Hamer-Usa/Used-Hamer-Usa-Eclipse-Trans-Red-Solid-Body-Electric-Guitar.gc?algoliaQueryID=179d73449fedd4109e67f9a8ac6d0789&algoliaIndexName=guitarcenter
  11. And I just saw it was in Arlington Heights. That’s less than an hour from me…
  12. LOVE me some Mirages. I have been saying I need another Mirage I to mod. I think the world needs another 3 p90 Mirage…
  13. Dammit, Bill… you’re holding… the guitar… backwards!
  14. I had a Lovepedal zendrive a couple years back. Cool pedal. Sounded good. But just not for me and whatever I have that could be considered a “style”…. This almost makes me want to try it again to see if I could get along with it this time around. Cuz…. Tubes….
  15. Haha. True blood or Compund V…. 😂😂
  16. Couple of familiar looking guitars at the very end. Don’t blink….
  17. A name I recognize over the last 20+ years I’ve been here. Godspeed, JohnnyB…
