+1 on that one mate. Marty is tops on the forum in my opinion. (How's that for kissin' bum?
) Marty, if you are reading this, seriously, thanks for your generosity and the experience you bring to the forum. Rock on man!

Thinking about JJ EL84's now.

On the EL84's I wouldn't know exactly what to recommended, however I do know that there is a lot of difference from one tube to the next. Back when I had my modded Valve Junior there was loads of difference in the EL84's that I tried. Everything from how early it would break up, to significant tonal differences. I'll bet Marty has some insight into this, I know he is an EL84 guy and really is lusting for Marshall to introduce a new EL84 powered monster...

Sorry mate, no idea.

The Vox Night Train looks pretty cool. Unfortunately from what I've seen so far, it
looks (I haven't had a chance to play one yet) like one of those amps that likely sounds awesome in the hands of the right player, but would not suit my "playing style"*. So far, between, the Vox Night Train, the Orange Tiny Terror (which I have played), and the Marshall Haze... My interest is really peeked by the Haze.
