I just got a rectifier from him. Shipping to NC was 196 and FedEx dinged me 44 in customs fees. Mod itself was 1200 with an extra 90 for a mid boost push/pull on the green channel that is definitely worth it.

Maybe not quite crazy, but $832 for open box 6505 1992 Original @ Musician's Friend: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/open-box-peavey-6505-1992-original-120w-tube-guitar-amp-head-black/l98446006001002

Picked up v2 50 watt used recently and it’s a really easy amp to love. Just a great example of the classic Marshall vibe. A few extra toggles, but you really can’t go wrong on any setting.

+1 on other comments. 8 head switcher is great. I have a delisle for speaker switching and it’s fine, but the KHE is just nicer to use, feels well built, etc.

Not yet! In theory my Lead 80/k-100 cab can handle it without even having to go full-stack, but I'm worried that nearby wildlife might die.

I actually have one of these! Was just delivered last week. Very raw and loud with a lot of low-mid push to it. The headroom on channel 1 is out of this world and the amp just soaks up really hot or really bassy pedals. It's completely unnecessary, but also pretty awesome.

Owned a DVL-1 for a bit. As a channel switcher, it is super lacking. I could never get the EQ to sound great across the modes. You either get ice pick cleans or wooly high gain. As a tweakable Marshall with oodles of gain, it was pretty sweet. Much rawer than most modern amps and oodles of...

I’ve got two Emperor cabs and a Stone Age. The Emperors are large, resonant, and straight, so I think they can be a bit tricky to control. Some additional dampening might tamp that down. I have a 4x12rs from them with k-100s and CL-80s that sounds BIG. The 2x12ss I just picked up has creamback...

The website says nine months! And you can see prices on there: https://www.scienceamps.com/order.html I emailed Alex about making me a footswitch for the hellhawk and he responded really quickly. I'm sure he'd help you out if you have questions.

I have a mk i Hellhawk I picked up a while ago. Alex described it as his "ultimate plexi" and it definitely has some of that vibe. It also unthinkably loud and powerful (though I do have it loaded with kt88s at the moment and that probably doesn't help). Compared to most plexi-style amps, it has...

The dude from gremlin machine shop seems to know a ton about restoring these amps. He even has a few videos covering different amps. If you still can’t get it going, he might have an idea. https://instagram.com/gremlinmachineshop

I had one of the 20 watt Dwarvenauts. Definitely seemed geared towards doom stuff, which it did pretty well. Lots of gain on tap. It had a little more noise and hiss than your average amp, but nothing that would be surprising at that price point and gain level. I made a sloppy demo of it before...

I’ve read that the sound was good but the guts were ugly. No firsthand knowledge though and that could be BS. If I found a sweet deal on one I’d give it a shot, but the new prices bump up against known-good stuff.

If you go for it, consider a Dunable Asteroid. Fairly traditional (other than the headstock) but has some contours and cuts that make it feel really ergonomic.

A few names that haven’t been mentioned… KSR is doing boutique for the Mesa/6505 crowd. Dean Costello’s Heavy Metal Warfare has some buzz, but uses a shared EQ. Barton High Voltage is still pretty small, but the transmission ticks your boxes. Science decolonizer is also a potential fit, but the...
