Probably got a cash offer. :whatever:

Sometimes I can't even get sellers to return my emails, even a couple of sellers who posted the same thing two or three times a week for a month. :confused:

next i will probably sell my vox ad30vt and get a low wattage (5 watt or less) head and cab....then use my rp250 for amp modeling and effects....

Alright and as my daughter would say - SCORE!!!

Very nice. I know nothing about those amps, but then again I know nothing about most amps. It looks cool just sitting there.

I've been gassing for a new/used amp, need to find a deal like yours.

Congrats on the latest addition.

I've got one of those amps, Warren. I love it...........warm and clean tones, and the digital effects and overdirives are really nice also. I won't say it compares to the higher-end Fender amps, but for what it is, it's really good.
Just my opinion..............:whatever:

i really didn't get much time to play it....but i did play my prs with the p90 and my gibby lp with p100's through the 1st channel (no digital effects)....tone was good....i am happy with the trade....the version 1 valve jr hum bugged me and i didn't really want to attempt to mod it....so giving it up didn't hurt too bad....i'll give it a good workout in the next few days and report back!
