    I dig three good, useable channels. Yeah, it does heavy really good and I found each of the two for less than $100. I made money on both. The second one was even in great shape. I should call that guy...

    I can't see paying Orange money when I'm only Peavey skill level. [emoji16] I like my Mode Four well enough. Man, is it loud af though.

      How many amplifiers do you own?

      3 at the moment:

      1) Whitney Custom Monkey - very custom - everything I need from an amp [emoji1]
      2) 1998 Budda Verbmaster 18 - still a f**kin' fantastic tone
      3) Mesa Rectoverb 25 - my grab-it-and-go amp

      I've had a few others over the years, though my ear is pretty developed, so I'm not over the top.

      The only one I regret letting go was my Vox AC30CC2X - too heavy, too loud, but my-oh-my what tones!

      My back up, if-everything-dies amp is a Sansamp FlyRig5 - amazing bit of kit.

        Then three, as per my signature. It will soon be two, and thereafter hopefully three again.

            Fuzzy as hell, lots of fun to slip onto the pocket and walk around the house testing the acoustics of different rooms - kitchen is the best. If you don't have one, get one, they're brilliant.

                      Yes, KT88 x4 , higher plate voltage [B+]. Left out the FX section that come with the KK model. I used that circuit because it used the KT88's.
                      The Vase uses a pair of them. It's got some NOS Gold Lions in it.

                            1. My Helix rig, which includes a Peavey Classic 50/50 poweramp.

                            2. Marshall JVM 410H.

                            3. Splawn Pro Mod.

                            4. Mesa Triple Rectifier Reborn.

                            5. Fender Supersonic.

                            6. Peavey VTM120 (my very first amp).

                            6. Peavey Vypyr 15.

                            7. Boss Katana Mini (for now, 99% sure I'm returning it because it sounds like a warmed over Fender Mini Twin).

                            8. Fender Mini Twin (cheap little POS battery powered thingy).

                            9. Vox Amplug (actually pretty decent for what it is, but I wish I had gotten the Lead or Metal version instead).

                                2.

                                JMP-1 + Peavey 50/50, and a homemade tube preamp + homemade 4W power amp that I put together for use with the recording rig at home. Still working on the preamp to get the right balance between clean and dirty gain.
