    I just scored locally at a steal of a price, a used Peavey keyboard amp (40 Watts RMS, 10" 2-way speaker, 3 channels + monitor input). It's in super clean condition, i.e. mint, and it's one of the earlier runs that was Made In USA, vs later production runs. I paid just a third of what this amp goes for New.

    It looks small but it gets really loud and remains clear sounding.

    Oops, I reread the original post, and I see now this recent acquisition, while a great deal, doesn't fit the intemded topic of "premier-level" gear. Sorry.

      yeah, Friedman is so "in" right now -they probably don't dip as much -but they are producing mass assembly line quantities now -so they gotta move amps eventually to pay the bills like everyone else.

      keep your eye out.

        I'll add Rivera Knucklehead Tre, Engle Fireball, and Mesa Boogie Triple Rec to the list.

          I already picked up a Rivera Hundred Duo Twelve Combo (which in essence was a straight trade for my first gen 5150 Combo) and a Bogner Original Shiva 1x12 Combo. Digging the Rivera but, sadly, the Bogner arrived with a crushed/mangled/bent three prong power cord and a tolex tear and deep thumb sized dent in the top side edge of the cabinet as if it had been whacked hard with a lead pipe so it went back to the seller. I'll keep my eye out for a Bogner or Friedman or other boutique/hand-wired combo of some sorts.

              I got a decent deal on it but after I messaged about the damages seven minutes after opening the package and got a response from the Seller of "so what...doesn't affect the amp and you got a good deal on it"...he wasn't going to do much for me. Basically took the attitude that "sh*t happens and it was no big deal".

              Too bad because it was clean from the pictures in the listing. I'm sure it got damaged in the 3-4 days it sat in the shop while the Seller "waited for packaging boxes to come in" to allow shipping or in the process of his shipping manager packing it for shipping as it was wrapped with heavy/thick styrofoam corners and bubble wrapped - the package was not damaged so it had to happen prior to packaging.

              Just kind of a crappy way to do business by either a) not disclosing pre-existing damages or b) just shipping it off anyway to see if I would accept it without disclosing.
