Now that is the kind of gear I love. We just don't have access to that stuff here. Even tube techs are very thin on the ground here. Both the guys I know make their own amps, and will custom build, but re-sale is hopeless, so I wouldn't bother. That is one big reason I go with Mesa, hold their value better than anything here and easy re-sale if I want.
NIce link !!

Pac is on point as usual (thanks for the link, bro!). The ÷13 RSA23 is a 23 watt amp that to many ears combines elements of of a plexi, Park 75, and AC30. I'd have to agree with that assertion...this amp is like nothing I've ever heard out of any single amp. It was designed for Rusty Anderson, who is Paul McCartney's guitar player, as well as a fine singer/songwriter in his own right.

I had a 2x12 custom made by Jeff Swanson. It's basically built to Orange specs and loaded with Scholz Sugarcones. The Scholz speakers are a holdover from my days playing Harry Joyce amps. They're used most notably by Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes, and Prince.

I'm thinking about adding a USACG Jazzmaster in Shoreline Gold, but I have to wait to see how the tax return goes.

Oh...dig this crazy echo

Yeah...Porky Pig with a Flying V...it gets no cooler than that...except that Marcelo designed it to sound like a Binson Echorec to get those old Gilmour delay sounds.

Yeah, I read about that, maybe in a Guitar Legends. My Replex has dual gead delay, so it gets pretty colse to that, esp if I were better at setting it up, or actually cared enough to work at it.

If you want a Badmotorfinger type sound, I'm sure there's a Marshall tube amp that you can get your hands on for less than $1000.

Better still...and don't laugh!

Peavey VTM120. Good enough for Kim Thayil, good enough for anyone. The VTM120 is all over SG albums from BMF back. They can be had in great shape for under 500 bucks.
