Does an amp make sense for what I'm describing?

Quad Cortex is sold...

JJ Junior is still available locally...

Wife said that seemed like a good deal...

I mean that feels like the play, right?
Did you sell the QC locally? I always wait until the 7 day return window/"this isn't how you described it" reverb window is up just to be safe

Through Reverb but guy is local, not too concerned about that.

$850 cash for a Friedman JJ Junior head seems good, right?
