    You gotta see these! Anyone heard one?

    I have a real weakness for the odd and really cool, and man, these amps are hittin' me hard. Someone tell me they don' sound good. At least then I wouldn't have such bad GAS!

    Kinda cool, but even though it says lacquer, it looks like there's the 1/4" thick poly they put on the tables at Marty's Seafood.

    I guess you didn't look at all the other boxes - especially the custom builts.

    Check out the Supersonic - 15 watts with a 12" speaker - but still looks like a radio

    Yep... this will be our third and final attempt to place...at least where I'm concerned. If we don't at least make it to the finals on Saturday, I'm going to give it up (the IBC that is, not playing!). It's a lot of fun, but it's too hard on me to get all psyched and hope we've got a shot only to get sent home Friday night.

    Is that a 4x10 -- maybe a 4x8 -- cab on the bottom?!?!?!

    Awesome! 7 watts into one 10", I can have it voiced like a Vox, AND made of oil-rubbed mahogany to match the Zencaster? And the price is $650???!??

    If these amps sound as good as they look, I gotta have one right now.

    sabby, They'll build you whatever you want, but I think that one is 12's. The web site says they handle 10's and 12's in 1, 2, or 4 configs as well as a 1X15". I'd bet they'd make you an 4X8" if you supplied the speakers.

    There's whole page on custom enclosures.

    The "Adaptomatic" 6SL7 pre-amp tube adapter looks like a nice little gem.

    Re: You gotta see these! Anyone heard one?

    I've been exchaging a few emails with Josh at Electrosonic about his amps. I was looking for sound files, & there weren't any. I tried some of the band links, but they weren't particularly useful.

    Josh's deal is that he hasn't posted anything because he works with the customer to customize the amp the way they want it. Sounds like a great guy to do business with, but there's no "try before you buy" option, or any way to hear what you're asking for before you pull the trigger.

    On the plus side, his stuff looks great & gets good reviews...

    I'm thinking of something new in the amp department for this coming year... that Solaris is looking pretty sweet right now...
