I have had little experience and hands on with many of the "boutique" amps mentioned herein so for me it is my '76 JMP that Trace at Voodoo modded. I honestly don't think there is any music style I can't cover with the amp or some type of amp+pedal. The cleans (volume rolled back) are good and...
One of my favorite shows!! Love the music and the warm setting. The Billy Gibbons episode was great! It was also great to see John Oates on the show. Great music! I live about 30 minutes away from the Pawling/Millbrook area where the show takes place.
