Light, Cheapish, 2 watt mode, IR headphone out, 2 channel, Good cleans? (ehhh?) Is there something else in this price range that delivers all of that any better?

I don't really need an amp, as I don't play out -- just home jamming and recording. And I'd love to have working footswitches -- particularly for looping -- and an...

But once you're booked and show up, there's nothing to do than deal with what youre dealt.

Therefore, I can neither confirm nor deny what Branford said. Of course, Marsalis is an elite talent. I respect his musicianship and his opinion. So, I have no reason to doubt him. What Branford said aligns with what I experienced with my son in elementary and middle school. They never declared winners in sports. Everyone was told they...

And iirc, the VR is a lot brighter and trims off a lot more low-end on the output. I always ran an EQ pedal after the Valve Reamer to add some low end back. I think of the VR more as an alt-rock distortion, and the RH Eternity more as a blues-rock overdrive. Both are great pedals in their own lanes. I think you...
