Guitar Research Amps ?

[Stephena310]

Does anyone know about Guitar Research Amps.....I am looking at the head that comes with the "half stack" in a pawnshop and the price was great, but they knew nothing about the amp. I called Sam Ash and that was like calling The Guitar Center - newbees who know nothing and waste your time.

Does anyone out there have one of these babies?
I have read all the Harmony-central" reviews, but would like some "conformation" from someone on the forum....!

I've only ever seen those at Sam Ash. They are probably a Sam Ash brand. They sell on price so it helps if they have a brand you can't get elsewhere. Like their guitars, Carlo Robelli, their an in-house brand.

If you like the way they sound, then go for it. Have you played it? All that matters is if you like it.

They are built by Hartke (or whomever builds for them)...

I'd highly suggest playing one first. The ones I tried, both the GR and Hartke proper were gawdawful buzzy messes. Marshall AVT/VS technology is a much better mousetrap.
