re: Your favorite all-tube combo amp (bang for the buck)?

Eh, just reporting back his experiences. He's had zero reliability issues thus far, but then again he didn't buy it to gig regularly, mainly to record (he uses some rack -mounted modeler/preamp that sounds really good through the V22's tube section).

I'll pass on your concerns about spontaneous combustion. Now that he's moved back to his 3500 sq ft house from his modest apartment, that might be a bigger potential problem for him...
