Re: Went amp hunting today!!

No, I checked Willie's last week, they charge too much, but have tons of drool worthy toys. They also have become much more of a boutique amp dealer, they used to have wall to wall Marshall's and the like and now they seem to just want the cork sniffers. If you want the goods and some change left over Twin Town Guitars and Encore Music are the places to go. Twin Town has lots of cool old amps and they are extremely fair in their prices. I tend to hit those places before hitting Willie's.

Thanks for the tips, kevlar. I've always meant to go to these places, but have never made the trip. Sounds like now is the time!

Man that thing is sweet...congrats.
Have heard a few Gibber combos, they all sounded great and had a great overdrive when cranked.
Clips??

Hopefully soon I can throw something up. This thing reminds me a great deal
of Houses/Physical era Zepp. It also nails the Doobie China Grove vibe.

You won't be disappointed, both places are filled to the gills with real cool stuff. Perhaps the best in the cities.

Here is a clip of an Early 60s Discoverer done by a member at the Plexi Palace. Great sounds, much like what mine does.
