Paid $500 for my Mark III and she sounds killer and I'd put her up with the $1,500-$2,500 amp market.

I think you can nail any tone with amps under $1,500. But if there is an amp that somehow nails that type of tone like no other and it costs $3,000, then go for it.

Yes...but you don't have to spend $3000 to get a great amp!

Mission Amps, DR. Z and Scott_F all make killer handwired amps for alot less than $3000. Lew
