Can anyone tell me about them?
I’ve owned all other plus models, CL and SE and the regular STD which was great and the most balanced but lacked some gain so the plus appeals.

The STD plus has been described as open and raw which is the gap in my rig (got a 101b) and one popped up for good money, hence the interest.

any experiences of this particular amp would be appreciated.

also curious, if you owned and moved it, what did you get that worked better
 
I had an original Bradshaw OD100. Not sure where it fits design wise in regards to the later lineage. It had Deyoung Transfomers and absolutely buried the OG PT 100 in terms of clarity, 'wall of sound" authority. punch and overall tone. However, like all the OD100 amp variations, can be quite bass heavy. Literally had to run the bass on zero or maybe 1. iirc. While the amp had a massive sonic footprint, and headroom for days, it still lacked sweetness to the tone, although better than the later models imo. My experience with all the OD100 amps is that they are fatiguing to play after about 20 minutes. Same with Wizards. Lots of power and punch, but also ear fatigue inducers.
