I got a 69 SUNN Solarus head ( EL34 MODEL) at a thrift shop for $50 Canadian (Ya I know...Thief) about a year ago perhaps longer. I knew that a tech would have to go over it. While this has been happening and tech went away to Mexico for 6 months without finishing my amp first, I've been reading. One thing I read about and actually started to believe was that the Sunn's were not good sounding guitar amps. Well poop all over those nay Sayers some of which probably never even played a gig with one. I just played a gig with mine and It was brilliant! Super clean with my "Blackout" Telecaster responding well to the tube overdrive pedal when needed. But with the Epiphone Dot I was able to get the amp to come on sounding great with no distortion pedal added for blues and the pedal applied for all out rock. MAYBE its the orange drop caps he put in...... I never got it above 1.9 in volume (I was dominant) (Our pub owner almost never complains of sound levels) but the Epiphone Dot was howling like semi hollows do. It really does sound better with my 2 x 12" Marsland's (Traynor) than my Fender pro jr does and I liked it. Poop Poop all the nay Sayers you're perpetuating a myth. Perhaps this is true of solid state Sunn's to some degree. I will agree if ya want a Marshall sound buy a Marshall and stop picking on the Sunn's.
