| This 3x10 hand-wired amp responds to picking dynamics and gets the crunch sound that sounds great. It has 3 speakers instead of 4 because the transformer is so big there is no room for a 4th speaker. Would like a LED footswitch for Vibrato, FAT, and Reverb. Have to order an amp cover separately. As much as this amp costs you might invest in a transit case. The reverb sound is superior to all other amps with Dwell, Mix and Tone controls. The tube-driven vibrato has enough settings so that you will be likely to use it more often than you would think. I recommend getting the 2x12 extension cabinet but again you have to order a cabinet cover seprately. This is a luxury amp and not a workhorse amp. Not many get to play thru this amp because of the obscene cost. This is a bucket list amp or a desert island amp (assuming you had electricity). Like Ferris Bueller (talking about Ferrari's) says, "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." PS. It weighs 72 pounds and the weight is not evenly distributed, it is very top heavy on one side. So it is very difficult to lug around. The cost and the weight make it an amp you will keep and home and not likely take out to sweaty beer-drinking bars. You will have a heart attack if you see some drunk put his dripping beer glass on top of your $5,000.00 amp. The amp sounds great but you ain't gonna be playing it at Bob's Country Bunker with the chicken wire on the stage. Maybe you can think of a venue that would be worthy of this amp, Carnegie Hall? Question: How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Answer: Practice, practice, practice! Posted by Gord Ahl on Apr 8, 2012 | |||
