the blackheart sounds like a70's marshall jmp50 combo i had years ago. not much like a blues deluxe at all. Try running the blues junior with less master vol and more regular volume, walk that fine line between clean and dirty, it will round out the highs and that's where the bj sound the best to me. If that doesnt work for you, Return the bj and try a peavey delta blues 1x15. big beautiful clean sound, usable dirty sound, a little more power, no boxiness at all. for the same price as the bj.

How much costs the blackheart? It can handle some smaller gigs right?

[derosa504]

@eduf93 about 300 bucks on ebay , it will handle smaller gigs if your band doesnt get carried away, it keeps up with a moderate rock and roll drummer.

[satjathamma]

so which one you think sound best?

[derosa504]

@satjathamma currentrly i use my bluesjunior live. they are both real nice, guess it depends on the needs. little more clean headroom on the blues junior in my experience. less low volume boxy tone with blackheart. , but the boxyness is gone when i play with the blues junior at gig volume.

Hey :)

What are you playing in 5:20 - 6:11 ? It sounds very cool.

It´s a song?

Tank you ;)

[derosa504]

@TheLuEx i was hackin zztop (lagrange ) great tune! especially when billy gibbons plays it. check it out. i remember reading an interview with billy g and he mentioned that the borrowed that riff straight out of an old blues tune. cant remember which one. ill try to look it up.

@goyatley A soundwall is very usefull when you gig. i put my amp behind a plexiglass "wall" and mic them so the sound of the amp goes directly to the PA. and so it is not important that the amp is loud.

[fotillas]

The Blackhearts have a really great speaker as well.... I tried the little giant a few months ago and then plugged it into a marshall 4x12 cabinet.... I liked Blackheart's a lot more

@Shaharazad221 Can we change the valves and put something that stay clean more longer ?

[St9ler]

Haha.. you thumb, I laughed.

[Shaharazad221]

@derosa504 I realize this post is a year old, but for posterity: I own the BH 15 halfstack and it can easily hold up to a drummer with sheer volume, even at 7 watt settings if your drummer isn't a madman. The ultimate issue though is that the speakers are closed back enclosures, so this means that the bulk of the volume will be sent in one intense cone. So, yes, this amp can hold it's own, but ideally I would want to mic it in a club, or use multiple cabs to spread the sound.

@Ilovemyfender2 But I would like to remind you that the blackheart got more mods that the jr, and some of them are totally badass, as the bitmo triple bypass : )

[jay2rocks]

i just got a blues junior, and was sadly dissapointed the cleans with a strat sound much too trebly for my taste, and i was looking for the open sound of my blues deluxe, i was wondering if the blackheart can give that nice open sound i love?

[Ilovemyfender2]

Handsome devil is more open sounding, but with some mods the blues jr could sound a lot better than it.
