    Tell us some more about this. They got blown out at such a low price-- the curse of Peavey-- that I think a lot of people assumed they weren't good, yet the people I know who bought like them.

    Features, pics?

    It's ok, the tone is pretty plain but I never cranked it so it'll probably sound better if I did. It has a lot of tone shaping though and I always use pedals on it. Whether I used clean or dirty on my pedals the amp carried it pretty good. I've read about mods and retubes that'll improve the amp.

    I haven't used it much since I got my BHHD half stack.

    My vote would go to a FENDER SUPER CHAMP XD a very versatile amp that has tube sound and I have been impressed with it as an all around go to amp.

    Tube amp best bang for the buck:
    The reason I bought the Egnater Tweaker is because of it's extreme versatility with a very low price, while maintaining quality and having pluses, like the effects loop. I've been looking for an all tube amp exactly like this, and then it came out, fitting perfectly. I know for 2 or 3 or 4 times the price, I could get a better amp, but the actual difference is not justified by the huge price difference. (Victoria, Carr, Bogner, Reinhardt)

    Modeling amp best bang for the buck:
    Robert's Line 6 Spider Valve MkII sure has impressed me, and worth mentioning are the Vox VT's, and the Peavey Vypyr 60 (tube).
    The newest version of Fender's G-DEC opens up all kinds of doors for tonal and functional flexibility.

    This one is a killer amph, very versatile!

    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Default Fender SuperSonic 112

    A great mint used Fender SuperSonic 112 blondy at a store near me for 775 out the door.

    This is a super outstanding sixty watt Pro Series Fender amp with a Celestion Vintage 30 in it and is a combination, analog, of a Vibrolux and a Bassman; with a BURN channel applicable to both voices and a global really good Fender reverb that you can use with the Bassman side as well.

    This is an incredible amp at an incredible price. I think it is less than a year old.

    I can give you the phone number.
