You are correct. The thing is that I promised that the first 5-10 people that had faith in me would get an Excellent deal. I want to get some amps in peoples hands. I need some references and reviews.

I can guarantee you that the prices will eventually have to go up a bit.

Re: Sales are starting to take off...

it's just a gain boost... no rocket science involved. it's a tone-shaping switch...

Nice! Im currently building a '67 Marshall SuperBass replica. I have Marstran (www.marstran.com) transformers and choke, weber chassis, and a superb! board built by Ray D. (aka Smallbox at plexipalace.com).. loaded with.... ahem (drumroll)... VINTAGE NOS MUSTARD CAPS .. yeah, all the way buddy.

So will think about that tone shaping switch, good idea. Thanks.

At some point, when the reputation gets good enough, I'll be able to charge enough to make it worth my time. I really want to keep things around that $1000 price point.

The biggest issues so far have been with Fed Ex. I do not have time to fight with them over poor shipping performance. Plus, if I have to eat the shipping costs back to Florida, there goes some more of what is admittedly very little profit. I'm counting on fed ex to do the right thing. They have not showed any reason why they won't, but they currently can't find the amp that is supposed to be at my home as of yesterday. UPS is actually worse in my experience.

This is definitely a learn-as-you-go experience. Hopefully, guys like armotron and puckboy will continue to be patient with these growing pains.

Whaaaa Scott, they told you they lost it!??

Re: Sales are starting to take off...

Scott, how much gain does the Franklin have? (Please disregard the avatar ) Is it like a vintage Vox or is it like a Matchless that will get chimy cleans and singing distortions?

(Heck, I don't even know what I'm talking about, I've never played a vintage Vox nor a Matchless. I just know some of the lead tones that have been associated with Matchless...)

Re: Sales are starting to take off...

Congrats Scott! Any chance of a 2x10 18 watter in the future?

Re: Sales are starting to take off...

I'll go the opposite direction. I'm not sure that the 15w Franklin is QUIET enough for me. I play at low volumes.

I'm certainly not an amp hound (I play PODs, remember?), but I like the Vox, Matchless, and TinyTweed patches from Line6. Franklin sounds like someone I'd like to get to know. Have you thought about using amp corners for protection? What about a closed back? If I use one in church, the open back adds to the stage volume (something we're trying to avoid).
