Kenny V Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Fantastic sounding amp. Too bad it's out of my cost comfort level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Bill Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Nice amp...it reminds of the Mesa Boogie when they first came out...long waiting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Mmmmm... does sound delicious. Super smooth. I'll take one. I like the fact that Jim Kelley focussed his engineering skills on the output section of the amplifier verses the input. It was revolutionary at the time of its' creation.

bonzoboy Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 What a great amp,it brings out the glassiness and quack of a Strat better than most amps I have heard in a long time.The old late '60s Marshall 1959 plexis with the 100W 1960 cabinets were about the best for that and this amp comes really close.

Jimi Mac Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Nice amp! I was smitten with an Allen Brown Sugar from Allen Amplification boutique amp too, but I don't believe it has the kind of legacy behind it as this does... I've been a bit of a Pete Thorn fan for a little bit now. What I like about his is how down-to-earth and real he seems to be. Totally unassuming... It's a hard quality to come by and I think he seems to embody that ideal... Very easy to listen to and learn from! There are many boutique amps worth falling in love with, just look over Pete's shoulder at his shelf unit if you wanna choose one... It only takes $$...

bonzoboy Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 We have a local boutique amp builder in St. John's Newfoundland,Canada.His name is Rick Harbin and he is probably one of the best authorities on Marshall amps in North America,his house is filled with vintage models and he has done incredible mods to some amps.Rick took my old '71 Artiste which shares the Bluesbreaker cabinet but was notorious for having too "Clean" a tone-Roy Orbison used one and modded it to sound like a JCM 800,2204.He now has an amp desigo that can go from the exact tone of a '59 Fender Bassman to the raunch of a master volume JCM 800 with the flick of a switch,it's one of the most incredible amps that I've heard,bar none and that's including Dumbles,Trainwreck etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Cool! Like a Dumble SSS or a Fender. I love it. The distortion is pretty thin, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
