So, I'm getting back into playing after many years away. I would love to get a nice sounding tube amp, something like a Blues Jr (love the sound), but I need something I can play in the house, quietly, while the kids are asleep, etc., if possible, without headphones. I'm mostly interesting in learning to play the blues and some rock.
I've tried reading through this site:
http://www.amptone.com/index.html
And I'm completely overwhelmed. It's all Greek to me. Could anyone translate this into a basic setup. Is it possible to get a good tube amp tone at low volumes? Do I just add a attenuator or something similar? Do I need to get two or three EQ pedals, an overdrive, an attenuator, etc., as the site above seems to suggest?
Am I even asking the right questions?
Any help would be appreciated.
I imagine this has been discussed many times before, so if anyone has an relevant thread bookmarked, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
