Up. Make an offer.

I bought this recently directly through the Gibson Demo Shop. It's in excellent shape and has the following factory-installed modifications: - '70s Tribute bridge humbucker - Grover locking tuners - Traditional hand wiring (no PCB!) - Gibson hard case - Headstock stamped "MOD" The guitar also...

My experience is that you pretty much have to dial in one channel or the other the way you like it and then use it as a single-channel amp. A second set of tone controls would do wonders to rectify this, but then it would be a whole other kind of amp. I wouldn't mind a second master volume, either.

Up. Trades considered.

Barely used and in perfect shape. Comes with the original box and paperwork. $250 shipped

Still love it for heavy and, well, heavier. Great feel and very clear without ever sounding harsh. Unexpected bonus: Channel 1 boosted with a Mr. Mansfield pedal or similar might be just as good as Channel 2.

Unrelated to the gear, but that solo f*cking rips.

Bump.

I believe it's just a Ban Hammer with a different name and exterior design.

Up for sale are a mint Griffin Tone Ripper and a Suhr Riot Reloaded in very good to excellent condition. The TR comes with its original box, while the RR does not. $80 shipped each, or $150 for both

Not offering an EV option feels like an error, but I suppose they wanted to keep the cost (and weight) down.

Sorry if this is old news, but... https://www.mesaboogie.com/en-US/p/Amp/Split-Back-4x12/0-B412V-SL-AM-FC There's a 2x12 as well.

I had a hard time getting a smooth, flowing lead tone out of it. It was just too tight and "stiff," though I can see how some people would like that. The range of available gain over the two channels was nice as well. You really can't go wrong with the PT20 V2, assuming you don't need a clean...

I had one for a spell and was surprised at how good it sounded. The brightness of the full-size DR has largely been tamed, and the voicing is more modern overall. It takes boosts well and is extremely tight (too tight for my taste, as it turned out). I can see it being a great amp for thrashy...

The USAs have a heft and richness to the tone that was lacking in the import. The import wasn't a bad amp; I'd just rather spend the extra money for the OG. You should still be able to find a good USA 100 for $1200-ish. The people who ask $1800-plus for them these days are on bath salts.
