Dude I’m not upset at all, seriously, it’s just a fun hobby! We pay more for stuff from over there you pay more for stuff from over here. All good, we’re all buds!

Plus it’s actually a great time for USD to EUR conversion right now. No harm no foul dude :cheers:

4 Mods per month = at least 6 Grand. is not Charity. Way to expensive. Do i really need to say: for me? I'd rather simply buy an EVH 100 6l6 Stealth.

6 grand before subtracting operating costs, taxes, everything it takes to run a business. He likely gets a 1/3 of that after all is said and done with his volume since it’s all hand built and not automated.

And that evh stealth will sound like a stealth. If it’s a wall of gain you want then why not? Personally I like the chainsaw character and punch of a well tuned amp.

The EVH was just an example. You get the whole Amp for less than the basic MOD. I'm personally not willing to spend the money he's asking for the Mod. It's just that: a Mod, with an extra tube and a few switches. The 4299.-€ Apocalypse is entirely handbuilt with turret-board construction, custom made transformers and so on. He's also running a business. Do i like the Amp? I don't know. Some people buy Dumbles. ?‍♀️ His Mentor Folkesson offers his Mods a lot cheaper, fwiw. How much is the new handbuilt by Friedman Jose? 4 Grand? BUT if you want a Hermansson, you gotta spend the money he's asking for his work.
 
It’s alive! Hopefully some clips soon…

From the description for those who are technically inclined

“A Marshall 2203 (from 1982) which is rebuilt with the Hermansson 5 gain stage circuit. It's an all-tube distortion circuit, with no clipping diodes or transistors.”
 
That’s surgically clinically tight. I can respect the build and he knows what he’s doing just based on layout alone. Congratulations on the amp and I can’t wait for your full assessment!

I have never played one so if it feels as good as it sounds to my ears, I expect to be a happy camper!
