Just scored one of these... Damn thing is heavy. But sweet...

55 lbs, triaxial amped, 250 watts, doesn't feed back much with an acoustic.

:D

Cleeen!

There are two horns, one mid and one low end; each has its own amp.

I haven't spent much time with it yet - I played it in the store and it's migrated all the way to my office (across the street from the guitar store - I never get much work done). But what attracted me is that it has a clean quiet sound. It's reputation is for having a clean loud sound, but usually a good amp at high volume is pretty much crap at low volumes. Plus it's out of production and the replacement designs (basically smaller, 2 channel instead of 1) are hundreds more than this was... it's rare. So I jumped before someone else did.:cool:
 
Looks like a great find, they gave it a good review in Guitar Player a while back I recall. What instruments have you tried out with the amp? I would like to hear my resonator guitar and mandolin through one of those...:)
Better take along the 2 wheeler to carry that thing though-I'm sure you already carry one with you , I sure do!
 
I guess I never noticed it was heavy, but then mine never leaves the front room of the shop.

What size speakers are they?

(1) 8" woofer.
(1) 4" mid range
(2) 1" high range

I still haven't gotten this thing home; life keeps intervening. It's sitting beside my office desk at the moment.

I thought about putting casters on it, but the cabinet is angled in such a way as to conflict with that and it might be overkill anyway. I think the smart thing would be a 2 wheel carryon frame as Anfontan suggested.
