I like mine. If you have a hard time finding a reseller let me know and I'll check
and see where I got mine at. I know is was considerably cheaper than MFs price.

Yeah I would be down to hear some clips. Do you have any other amps around? Would be nice to hear a couple - even amps im not interested in

Sure. :D I recorded two quick demos right after I got the thing:

Excuse the iffy playing, I recorded this in one pass, just screwing around. Bonus points if you recognize the tune. :D This was the "brit" mode, in "clean" with the gain 3/4 of the way up, with my UV7PWH on the bridge pickup, flat speaker model and flat EQ, and a little bit of amp 'verb. SM57 right up against the grill. I start with the volume back a little on my guitar.



Like I said, if Marshalls really sounded like that (at, like, non-testicle-destroying levels) I'd own one.

And then (since I bought it while my Nomad was in the shop for repairs), here's the one full demo I recorded with it:



This one the playing sucks a little less, since it was more than one-off performances. :p The rhythms were Brit, in the middle gain mode, with a little bit of a mid scoop, the leads were Brit as well, Flat EQ, and probably the same gain mode with maybe a little less distortion. There's a clean guitar you can sort of hear on the chorus (and outro) which is the Tweed mode, set cleanish.

My current rig is a Mesa Roadster - this is the only thing I've had the chance to record with it so far (as I grabbed it maybe 2 months ago):



Leads are Channel 3, I forget if I was in vintage or modern (with the presence curve of the channel, they actually sound remarkably similar), and rhythms were of course modern.

And then this is probably my favorite tonal example of the Rectoverb I owned (still do, technically, it's sitting in my hallway) before it:



SM57 and a Nady RSM-4 on the cab for rhythm, the Nady alone for lead.

Here's another one, the gain channel (similar to Ch3 on a 3-channel Dual, or 4 on a 4-channel Recto) with the treble all the wab back, which strangely works really well. Nady RSM-4 close mic'd, with my Strat providing the stringage. :D



I realize I just gave you a shitload of random clips. :p sorry - I hope some of them help...
 
Hey, I have Traynor amp from 1979 too! It's a great amp, but it's too loud for the bedroom, and I don't really understand all the Canadian words next to the knobs.

Thanks dude. Unfortunately I cannot check this out at work (blocks the page) but over the weekend I will. I am also going over tomorrow (saturday)to try out this amp I found on craigslist: http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/msg/1541699176.html

Any thoughts on that ad?
 
I've played the 30 watt version. Not too bad - the gain sound was ok, but I really dug the clean. It got REALLY warm while I was playing it, but to be fair this was at a GC and it'd probably been on all day. The knobs were warm to hot to the touch though, which worried me a little.
