B52 AT-100 (don't laugh)

[Securb]

There was a B52 half-stack in a jam room I frequently visited. It sounded awesome. I had no complaints about the amp and found no reason to drag my Marshall there.

I looked and looked for a Goldea like yours
I got the HK Tubemaster

Do you know if they are similar
They look so similar

Love my HK BTW

All I can say is I had a hell of a time getting mine. Ended up ordering it straight from the Factory in Tianjin, China ..along with the matching 2x10 cab. They would'nt take any form of online payment so I ended up taking a big chance & using a "buying agent", who thankfully was honest/reliable and only wanted a !0% fee (ie. $30 for both the unloaded cab & the amp). I gave her $50 :bigthumb:

The Goldea only looks like a Tubemeister, but sounds nothing like one. Dude at the factory told me it was a scaled-down, reverse-engineered Engl Savage (?). Having never played an Engl Savage I can't really confirm or deny that lol. . It's just an awesome sounding little amp & the build quality is crazy good.

The thing is these companies already have a pretty huge domestic market so they don't make it easy for you or me. I mean they were really polite and helpful right through but they did'nt really need my business as an individual I guess. Their thing is snagging the large OEM orders :lmao:

I was just watching this video about a big music expo there & the dude pretty much explains it...

Awesome amp

Im so jealous

Thank you. It's pretty sweet! Well worth all the trouble I took getting it imo :bigthumb:

Welcome to the forum!

Pretty tight sound for tube rectified. Good sound overall.

There are some volume drops in the recording which I'm guessing are channel switching (or pickup switching?) but not having the levels set the same?

Right, when i chgd channels on OD the Contour was IN but turned down..Thank you for listening! EV 4X12 cab ( old 5150)

Until you get something to replace it with, play it like you stole it.
