Probably was but the TC is another generation. :thumbup:

I wonder if that was the Epsi I had that I bought off of here that I think I sold on here?

Nice verbs if that's where you go with it.

Nice cabs too!!

Hoping to get some time with the pedals this afternoon. So expect to see them for sale shortly thereafter...

Well, decorating on-hold this afternoon. Pedals and amps left, right and centre. The Visual Sound overdrive is fantastic. DS-1 made me play some Judas Priest for some reason. The Line 6 has a squillion things going on but nothing I'll use. The EPSi. No idea what that does. Need to Google it.

Boogie has real body to it. Sounds 'posh'. Yamaha is impressive enough to justify my having ordered the five button footswitch. When we stop living out of boxes I'll get into it properly and make some changes via the PC.

Despite all the above I still found myself back on the Friedman. For classic rock stuff I think it'd be hard to beat. Put some Derek and the Dominos on, low and medium gain settings, SG and all was right with the world. :thumbup:

I still think one of the best amps for the money has been the Royal Atlantic we both owned, that thing sounded great and is built like a fucking tank. Its floating about for less than $1400 I think, an absolute bargain.
Wonder what the lack of stickability for it is (given as good as everyone has found it, it still seems to be back on the market quite quickly)? Is it a size thing? Requires volume to shine?
Didn't require volume at all. It had individual attenuators for each channel etc. but I never used them. It just sounded great at low volume. I didn't like the shared eq across the channels but that aside it was great. That said, God forbid you should ever have to retube it. It was a flagship model for that range and, as you said, built like a tank. But it also demanded a wide cab or it'd look goofy.

The Express 5:50+ combo cost me $1,300. The guy had had it less than a year and only used it at home. His Rockshop receipt showed he paid $2,800 for it. As usual, if something seems cheap I'll give it a punt. I wasn't expecting much from the overdrive but the wee test drive I gave it yesterday, just on the guy's own settings, was great. I don't doubt that the TC50 would wipe the floor with the Express. Would love to try one.

It's a THR100HD (two amps in one).

$480 via the forum. Came with the footswitch for the single amp version which doesn't allow you to switch / merge channels (shafter did say as much - part of the reason it was cheap). I've ordered the right one so with that I'll have $660 in it.

Long answer to a short question, sorry.

Some new stuff!

Cheers Mark. Yam's as cool as ewt and plays beautifully. PRS has a nice, meaty neck and is much nicer in the flesh than it looked on TM. I'm hoping the resonator reflects some 'cred' on me. It probably won't... Cheers Laurie.

I miss that Tele
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
