Good Dealio?

So I went to the GC sale today at 8 AM and scored a B52 AT 212(two twelves) tube amp with spring reverb. Never even heard of the brand and didn't even try it out. But the thing was only $250($800 list) and mounted on a set of casters. Wife and I were walking out the door and a salesman approached us and pointed it out. Wife said "Go for it". I wasn't even looking for an amp. So I handed the guy my card and wheeled it out the door.
 
& it sounds like..............what, WELL good I hope. If not blame it on your wife
 
I don't know much about them, but they do make a "rectifier" style amp for $700 which this speed-metal kid I know seems to swear by.

Hey, tell us how it sounds, maybe I'll check it out next time I'm at a GC
 
For sure tell us what you think... I almost bought both a B52 amp and cabinet, but opted to just buy the cabinet (I think it was only 200 bucks or so for a 4x12...) for stage use. It's always been able to hold up to the abuse... But, for the money it's worth a try, no? ;)
 
i tried one out at GC, I liked the tone over the voodoo by crate.
 
They make some kickass amps, I'm saving up for one now. Seem pretty rugged


Made in the US makes me feel alot better about them too.

I just want to know

where you get a wife with that attitude? :confused:

If I'd stopped to look at it on the way out, my wife would've said "Come on" and pulled me out the door by my arm. :D

She sounds like a gem Hixmix, not your typical musician's wife! ;)

Mine told me the other day, "You've got a good job; if you want to buy yourself a new toy, go for it." It's a TOOL, dammit! ;^)
 
Hey. My wife let me buy a new amp last month, too.


Do you think they're up to something? You're not paranoid if everyone is really out to get you.
 
I'm still waiting to hear if it was good (the amp that is).
When I buy new gear my wife just rolls her eyes and ignores it, that's if she is aware of it. I know she is a very busy person so try not to bother her with details like that. It's safer.
