There are several amps that share the same "formula" of 15w from 2xEL84's through a single 12, with reverb. One is the Crate V1512 -- same amp as GC's Palomino V16 with different cosmetics. There's also the Traynor YCV20 -- if you see the same model designated as "WR" that just stands for "wine red" tolex, another cosmetic distinction. You should be able to find any of these for a decent price on the used market and they'll give you BJr-like performance for likely fewer bucks.

Of course, you could always get a Blues Jr. ;-) Best of luck, CS
