Hello everyone,
I was comparing the specs on the BE-100 versus the forthcoming JJ 100 (Cantrell Signature) amp and I see the BE-100 uses 5 preamp tubes on the BE-100 versus 4 on the JJ100 amp?
The HBE uses an extra preamp tube and the JBE does not? Does the JBE utilize diode clipping?
Just wondering because it seems that the JJ100 has more gain.
I've sold a bunch of gear I did use all that much and was planning to use the proceeds on a new handwired high gain amp. I'm currently fond of the darker sounds of the Mesa Rectifier (I currently use a 50 watt Rectoverb). The JJ100 seems to have a darker sound closer to what I like, however I wonder if the BE-100 can be dialed in close to a similar sound. I also like the cosmetics of the JJ amp better, I'm not a fan of the offset Marshall. Can the BE-100 ordered with a standard Marshall look that is not the offset one?
Thanks for your help.
