I’m not a big Reverb guy, so I will only say I would look elsewhere. That said they are a cool alternative to a LP Jr.

Been looking for a while. Normally I have no issues with reverb. Bought at sold plenty. But this ad seems weird.

This is the first sunburst one of these I have ever seen for sale.

My Valco reproductions have three inputs each. Sounds so much better when I jumper the two outside inputs and plug the guitar into the middle one.

To be honest, I never even thought to try it on the Ha'va'd.  First time I plugged into it, I put the volume and tone at about 1 o'clock, plugged my telecaster into the #1 input, and wailed on it.  It was pretty clear that further tone explorations would be on the back burner for a spell.  Seems like there aren't many bad settings. 

 

Now my Victoria Bassman, with the channels jumped and both at about 11 o'clcok, is pretty amazing.  I got to play it cranked like that once in a 1,200 seat 1920s civic auditorium for something for my kids' school and it was the most tremendous sounding, 3d sound with all the natural acoustics of that space.  I hit a kill lick on the 335 just before we started up and the echo off the back wall put the biggest shit-eating grin on my face.  You just don't get to play loud like that too often, and even unmic'd, it was clear as a bell in the band setting.

That Vintage 47 Ric-style amp is a fucking rock and roll machine with the channels jumpered and the volume cranked. Just nasty in a great way...

AC10 is a fantastic little amp, and nowhere near the ridiculous weight of the AC15. Damn thing weighs the same as my Supro Thunderbolt.

Expand  

My AC4-12 is probably the best sounding amp I own. I just wish it had built-in Vox tremolo. My AC15 is just too damn much for the house.

Great rock 'n roll is even greater when the guitar is in tune.

Where do you buy/sell?

Expand  

Sorry, would have responded earlier, but ironically I was on the road to Carter’s.

Something new? Probably Sweetwater or a local mom and pop.

Used? I just drove into Nashville. I still like to touch what I buy. Though I admit, I throughly enjoy browsing the listings on Reverb, eBay, etc.

Selling? I tend to farm that out. I’ve been in the business a long time. I no longer care to go through the mechanics of selling.

We got back the 1st mix of a song from the Dirty Years recording sessions we did a few weeks ago. Im stoked on it.

This is my Gretsch DuoJet plugged into my dimed Marshall Class 5 with a Shaggy Screamer in between. Like it or not, this is the sound im after. Bright and bitey on the highs, chunky in the bassie rhythms.

Listen to Dirty Years Everybody 2.0 by Racer5 #np on #SoundCloud

Funny you should come up with that band of all bands.

Just this morning I read this rant / open/letter a friend a friend posted for Jello Biafra. He's not wrong.

Knobs are volume and tone.  Inputs 1, 2, and 3 (hottest, a bit less hot, a bit less hot still).  More technically, Input 1 is unattenuated.  Input 2 is attenuated -3.5db.  Input 3 is attenuated -9.5db.
 
Usually, I'll plug a single coil into input 1 or a humbucker into 2 or 3.  Or you could use 3 for more clean headroom or whatever.  Or, you do the thing with the switcher, set  input 3 up as your clean tone and use 2 as a mild boost and 1 as a lead boost.
 
I got mine made by Lil Dawg Amps.  Victoria makes one (Ivy League) or Chicagolux (Tweed Vibrolux is just a Harvard with vibrato).  The Harvard (5f10) originally was a 1x10.  Jim at LD Amps talked me into the 12 and I'm glad he did.  Victoria offers both speaker options, but there are more 1x10s out there.
 
Very nice cleans and, when turned up, it gives up what sounds to me like Stones in 72.  If any Fender tweed amp could be said to be a "baby Bassman," the Harvard 5f10 is it.  An original 1x10 with a tele is the Steve Cropper sound.
 
Here's mine (I replaced that little dawg badge with a replica Fender Harvard badge because the LD one was ugly):

So true.  It probably kept me from contacting Jim about an amp for years.  But the fact is, the dude is the nicest guy to do business with you could imagine.  His work is excellent, and he's probably the most reasonably priced custom amp builder out there.   I also got lucky and ordered mine just as he was finishing up a similar one.  So he put mine up next while the circuit was fresh in his head.  I put 50% down and had the amp in a week.

 

I ordered it without any upgrades, but he offers any option you can dream up.

How much for him to leave the nameplate off?

Asking for Buzzrock.

He'll do it.  Just tell him you have a custom one with your name on it or some such and ask him to include his in the cab.  Again.  Nicest. Dude. Ever.

That is a super clean design. Shame you have to cover it up…

I FINALLY found a fender in autumn blaze metallic in person (it was a squire infinity series tele) and the color is perfect.  I really need to get one down the road.

This right here.  

Down the road?  Guff.  Faw. 

The best time to buy that guitar was yesterday.

The second best time is today.

If anything it will take weeks if not a month or two as it would be a mod shop lefty strat configuration with a roaster maple, HH and hard tail. 

That will be my final guitar purchase. Until I get the PRS itch.
