I just got one of these for about that price. I had to do it at that price, had to. I LOVE this amp. Worth every penny and more.

Are you guys playing in cookie monster bands that the Runt 50 doesn't have enough gain? Sheesh. I put a 12AT7 in V1 in mine and I still don't dime the gain knob. I love this amp and it's probably the cheapest tube head I own. But I have a Suhr SL67 coming next week and the Runt may have to...

I just had an SV20H for two weeks, flipped it. IME, these 20w heads sound great, but are too loud for a practice amp, yet can't hang with a drummer at band practice. If your needs are somewhere in between that, then a 20w may fit the bill. I had a 2525C and sounded glorious. But I took it to...

I think I paid $279 for mine used a few years ago. It has saved my ass at a gig once and it it's always with me for a backup. Can't go wrong for the money.

I don't know how Mike is with email, but he used to answer the phone when he was in Seattle. Dave Friedman is very responsive on email.

I will PM you the guy I dealt with recently. Though he also sat on my parts order for a few weeks, then apologized and threw a Soldano shirt in with my order.

Can you borrow the gear from the guy you're filling in for? There was a British Invasion band here a while ago and a few of the guys worked at Fender. They just about all played Fender guitars and amps and sounded fantastic.

Ironically, that gun nut thread over there is so big, I think people would consider it a good resource. I know I go back and search for some stuff in there once in a while. I have to think, when the mods aren't getting pegged by their girl bosses, they sometimes fantasize about owning guns and...

There is a thread on TGP that the mods let go on for years, still going on about guns. Can't discuss laws and politics there, and a lot of antis jump in and make snide comments that the mods delete. But it's like the only near-forbidden fruit over there. BTW, I'm a gun nut and FFL, so I like...

Some pillow biter mod over there gave me a time out for responding to some other cuck who said I "voted for" some BS having to do with customs/import duties. I don't even remember what it was about, but I hadn't started anything political at all. After that I no longer renewed my paid...

Everyone get off my lawn, but I am getting to the point that I can't handle anything with more than six knobs. The old Marshalls just do it for me. If I need to bring an SD-1 and Hot Plate with me, those and the old Marshall are still a lot less than a boutique amp. I love the black panel...

I thought i saw $3799 somewhere.

YT videos are hard to go by. I'm selling my Dirty Shirley head because I bought it based on YT videos and it didn't sound like that to me at band practice. At home alone, sure, but it didn't work with the band. I saw an A/B video today of a Friedman Plex and a Marshall 1959SLP and I...

So why not just get a 1959SLP? I have two and they just slay everything in their paths. I keep buying Friedmans, selling them and then looking at the next model - Plex and now Jose. But those 100w Plexis get THE tone every time. They're' big, heavy and loud, and I much prefer the more...
