    The amp can't be that good if they couldn't even get Jimmy to do the demo.

      I volunteered to do the demo, but they told me they'd have to sell the amps for a hundred bucks then.

        You're only allowed inside the amp. Stay away from the outside.

          Well, getting back to the tone of the thing for a moment. I think the extra saturation might be a consequence of our era. Jimmy's played through a lot of amps since then and most of them were probably capable of more gain than he remembers from his old Supro. So I might say the sound is right, if you juiced up the old amp a little. Which doesn't always go over well for these little amps and didn't in this case in my opinion. I think if you just backed down the gain a little so it didn't "quite" squish as much and frappe the frequency response. Then I do think it would be spot on for all my ears can tell.

            Cool a mundo. I've got my lotto numbers all ready. If I win, gonna plunk down $3,800.00 and get one! As long as the lotto winnings pay for the new driveway, and bathroom tile job and ... and ... and ...
            The only good solid state amp is a dead solid state amp. Unless it sounds really good, then its OK.
