Just sold my Granophyre here last week. Was up for 30 minutes before it sold. Lotta hype with these amps these days.

Can I ask what made you sell and what price?

I preferred my Wizards and Fryettes. It's a cool amp, it just didn't stack up to those for my preferences. Sold for $2850. Probably could've gotten more I bet, but I felt that was a fair price to get me back what I paid for it.

I agree. I’ve tried my friend’s Omega Obsidian a few times and it can sound pretty good, but the amps I’ve kept and some of his too were just on another level tonally than the Omega was in AB comparisons. I feel it’s another one of those amps that are “nice”, but nothing truly exceptional, which is all I personally care about in gear these days. Life’s too short for gear that’s just nice

I could have picked an Iridium up for $2,400 a while ago. Thought that was a bit high as they are $2,449 new.

Maybe I should just pickup a new one?

I have a 50 watt Wizard MCII that I love. Tons of others also.

I played the Omegas at Namm last year and Ioved the Granophyre but the Obsidian was not as nice for me. They were into different cabinets though.

Got some thinking to do haha

I’ve seen the market going all over the place. I have a custom granophyre and someone offered me 4K for it last week. I just like the amp a lot so I didn’t sell (which I’m sure I’ll be roasted for haha). I know they’re hard to find because the transformer manufacturer isn’t around anymore so they’re trying to source more (maybe that’s been fixed). Until then they can’t build anymore.
