No so I sold off my entire amp collection which numbered at nearly 30.
This is a project for Cliff maybe?My Axe II now hangs with my modded AC-30. I do like the smell and heat the AC-30 provides in the winter. The Axe can't do that so far.
+1 nothing beats ringing a les thru a marshall and 4x12, gassing bad for a YJM, happy with yours?
The next Axe III will have a six-position knob to the right:
1. Worn preamp tube with getter-noice.
2. Dried-out capacitor in power-supply
3. Three bad solderings and a overbent wire.
4. One power-tube with leaking vacuum
5. Output-tranny partially cramped
6. Carbon potentiometers with dirty wipers.
Since I've started using the Axe Standard and Ultra in early 2007, now the Axe II, once in a while I buy whatever is the hottest amp of the week, I've bought so many and after a few months i end up selling it and have always toured with the Axe, I find that by the time you add a speaker, effects unit etc and mic it to the PA, the end result in sound specially in a band mix isn't really worth all that trouble, having said that, there is nothing wrong with a good tube amp and a nice 4 x 12 cab, very hard to beat..The more I play with the Carol Ann TripTik models in the Axe, the more I think that would be the one amp I would own if didn't have an Axe. It can cover every bit of ground I use.
... even though I don't use them and probably never will, I do sincerely hope that amps such as those being discussed here don't ever disappear
