    have you checked out Egnater? they have a pretty solid, versatile lineup.

    are you thinking clean, overdrive, distortion for your 3 channels?

    tube amps ship pretty well. especially from a retailer. buying used is when you need to worry. i've bought two amps used (Ampeg VL-1002 and Mesa DC-10) that came with shattered glass.

    Yawn...
    I didn’t have a good experience with Sweetwater shipping my tube amp, but it wasn’t exactly Sweetwater’s fault.

    My family said the UPS guy decided to roll.... yes roll... the box all the way up the driveway.

    Here I am, only 160lbs, and I was able to lift and carry it without having to roll. The resulting damaged box still clearly stated on the side, “This side up”.

    Sweetwater let me know the amp was still under warranty and an authorized dealer repaired it for free.

    So I second the statement above, I’d only worry if an amp was bought and shipped used vs a legitimate dealer.

    So is that a "65" reissue? I've been listening to some on YouTube tonight. My goodness!!
    Am I correct in saying these are 22 watts?
    What do people usually Mic these with, a sm57 or equivalent?
    I don't know if I really want to spend that kinda money. I think $1000 or so, but taxes just came in and my baller side might have to shine!!

    I think I saw a 2x12 version as well.

    I bought mine used for $560. It’s 22 loud watts. Generally clubs used SM57s or those square Senheiser mics.

    That was a great find for $560. should make for a great home studio amp.

    It is, but I tend to use smaller combos for home recording. I used a Vox Pathfinder for years. Now I have a homebuilt 5 watt tube Boothill Amps '50s Champ I built from a kit. It's P2P hand wired with a 10" Weber and a tweed cab.

    Been watching "65" reissue vids for an hour.
    Already looking at jj tubes and other speakers.

    Just remember the one you are looking at is a Limited Edition might not be a lot of wiggle room

    Yeah, if I don't have any NOS tubes in the closet, I use JJs. I've thought about a speaker swap to a Weber hemp cone or swapping to a 2x10 baffle to do a Vibrolux mod for a change, but the stock Jenson 12"is nice & broken in from years of gigging and part of me doesn't want to take out that mojo. The JJ rectifier swap really opened the amp up. Those natural harmonics when the amp is driven sounds so glassy and goooooood.

    What kind of music do you play? I played mainly surf, garage, clean reverberated pop stuff. I used a 1st gen Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde for light overdrive or saturated tones.
