Check out the '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb. You'll save quite a bit over the '65 RI with the option of the tuned channel in addition to the Blackface channel. It's the best deal Deluxe Reverb going. (The custom channel is a tuned up Bassman stack designed for modern pedal playing.) And it has that sexy sexy drip edge.
The only pic I took at the place was the Ultrafoot I posted in the pedal thread a month or so ago. But, yeah, this place was so stacked they even had an Ultrafoot.
I went to a rando Guitar Center in BFE Ft. Lauderdale that looked like that, an old unassuming strip style that looked like a hold-over from the 70s. I stopped because I always go into GCs when I come across them, but I wasn't expecting much just doing my due diligence. Turned out to be a Platinum Guitar Center with a crazy deep inventory, including more Gibson Custom Shops than I'd ever seen under one roof and an amp wall that went 15 feet high. I still dream of that place. /csb
Feeling called out af right now.

(Side note: I own a Hot Rod DeVille and think every player should own some flavor of Hot Rod. They are near perfect amps.)
Marshall has made a special run of the Astoria Custom in vintage livery, only available here and at quite a fetching price:

What a noob, rolling with that Echorec. Hasn't he seen the new hotness, Strymon Volante. (For real do, seeing EJ with any sort of digital modeling would be a sign of the end of days and we would have to prepare accordingly.)
Would. (Side note: I may have put a reserve on that silly Vemuram TS model with the Jan Ray integrated.) (Side side note: I would not have done the same if someone integrated a Timmy. I am a complicated person.)
Drop a notification on eBay to watch for 4 Ohm Hot Plates and just sit on it until one comes across for >$150 (the 4 Ohm is the least popular version and has a buyer-friendly resale value). With patience you'll come across one for $125 or so out the door. That's not a lot of scratch to unleash the chained fire-breathing dragon you got sitting in the corner. No offense to Princeton in the slightest, but when a Twin is pushed it's an entirely different animal.
