Rumor has it that Buddha himself hand builds those amps.

I would like to know about the reliability? and do they sound as close to a marshall as people say? I have not tried one yet but am loooking at the SD18.

Can't speak for the reliability as I don't gig. Looks like a well built amp on the outside and on the inside.
Sounds Marshally... Has a good feature set. Not too much, not too little.
Here's a video clip I did a while ago. Boosted with an SD-1.

The two SD18s I had were marshally with a hint of vox (probably due to the EL84s). Pretty simple amps gutswise, built well, biggest gripe I had was that the channels are hard to get a good balanced level between them.

I used to be a Budda dealer in the early 00's. Nice amps. The SD80II was my fave by far. Very well built and sounded killer.
Peavey bought them a couple years ago and none of the original people are around anymore but the designs haven't changed on the SD80II. There is an office/demo room here in Austin at Soundcheck. I know one of the guys that works for them.

Budda made one of my all time favorite amps, the Stringmaster. It was supposedly their take on the "Dumble" tone. I have owned a Super Drive 80, a Stringmaster and a Super Drive 30, I woul gladly take any one of those again, if I were playing guitar. I have never owned an amp that translated what I was playing so well.

I really dug the SD30 I played. Really cool sound & feel. I liked how dynamic it was & how it reacted to the guitar's volume control.

the budda superdrive preamp section was designed by dave friedman and it's pretty close to the naylor superdrive and friedman naked/APC amps 
seems like nobody ever mentions this here

My good friend owns a guitar shop in HI. He can use anything he wants - Egnater, Bogner, Fender, Marshall, Boogie, VHT, Diezel, You name it. He uses an SD80 and gets great sounds out of it. He does 80's 90's Rock/Metal.

I have an original PTP Superdrive 18 combo and it's got one of the most perfect "brown sound" drive channels I've ever heard.
Like a modded plexi crossed with a Vox. Virtually impossible to get a bad sound out of those amps.
