My Brother in Law has one. I don’t think he has ever put new tubes in it. It’s a great amp if you need to blow down a house or something. Lol
 
zinky blue velvet combo w blue velvet covering
elmwood 3100
Ampeg vl1002
Marshall dsl201 combo from 90s w el84s
bogner 101b classic twice because Im an idiot
74 canadian 100w marshall superlead w laydown transformer
 
Cameron Atomica and CCV, both Brad run so 25 of each I think ? Mesa Mark III Coli, Marshall 2000 series (the 6 6550 output tube version, owned twice), Soldano SL60, early 70s Marshall Super Trem, a HiWatt lead 20 GREAT little EL84 beast, rack mount Dean Marlkley T120.

EDIT : In light of some other’s posts, I need to amend my list : Roccaforte HG100 modded by Tone Nerd amps, and a Sound City Mark IV PA which I wanted to send to Hermanson but he’s not doing them any more.

Several years ago, I stumbled into Mark Abrahamian's #2 'Ground-Up' Rockstah build utilizing a Metro Chassis / components and Sourmash headshell. The Chassis is signed and came with the original purchase receipt. After acquiring it, I sent it out to George M for a once over / checkup and he confirmed that is was indeed Mark's work. It's sort of a 'prototype' - before he had the 'Rockstah' logo labels silkscreened for the transformers. I know his schematics are a click away on the internet, and any competent tech can build the recipe, so in that regard it's not super rare or unobtanium, but it is kind of cool that its one of the first production amps he built - as opposed to his mods in an existing amp.

Not sure how rare, but kind of obscure since no one talks about them. Roccoforte HG100, Budda SD80, Orange OR100, and Mako Makoplex.

You’ve been rocking that OR100 for a while right?
 
Fortin modded VTM120. Great amp. Was my main amp for 11 years. Pretty sure only VTM he modded.
Hermansson Laney PA. So fucking cool just to look at. Lol! Sounded killer on all 3 channels
Teisco Checkmate 50. All PTP wired although not very neatly. Great pedal platform amp.
Hayden MoFo 30. Cool looking and sounding amp. Loop was weird and affected the tone a lot.

I remember you from back then. Those amps are all badass. Say what you want about Doug and his terrible fashion choices..the man could build a killer amp. I always hope I can find a Rocca in the wild someday.
