Djinn1973 ............. That is a hard question(s). I am not up on prices, they change all the time, and ebay may be a good source of info. To increase reliability, have the amp checked out to make sure the transformers are good, caps are good, and then retube and reset the bias properly. Clean and lube all the pots, and give the amp a good once over. I went back, and after hearing it with my own guitars I decided against buying the Voodoo. On a side note, before I left the store I picked up a 12AT7 EV. I used it to replace the (Fender special design) 12AX7A in my hybrid combo. When I fired up the amp I was shocked; the amp was quiet, responsive, and best of all it sounded fantastic. Every one that has heard me through this amp (after I put the 12AT7 in) has made some positive comment about my tone. With out having read your tube primer, it never would have occurred to me to replace the preamp tube with any thing other than a 12AX7. Thank You, Myles.

I went in to a local music store today to pick up a guitar, and I noticed a used Crate Blue Voodoo 2x12 combo. I was in a bit of a rush, and I asked one of the guys that worked there to demo it for me. I thought it sounded pretty good; it does the scooped mids thing really well, and though its obvious that its seen some action its still in good shape. Do you think that $300-$375 is too much for an amp like this? If I did buy this amp,(or any used tube amp for that matter) what kinds of things should I have done to it to increase its usefulness and reliability?

I have a sixty-five watt combo amp, and I want to replace the speaker an 8 ohm 65 watt fender design with a Celestion Vintage 30, an 8 ohm 60 watt speaker. One of my friends says that plus or minus five watts aint going to make that much of a difference but another friend said that Youre just going to set your living room on fire Help?
