so ive had this for a couple days now. fender/sunn T50C channel 1 stays pretty much clean with very little break up and channel 2 has a very unfender gain that sounds very heavy 50/12.5 watts gonna roll tubes next, has eight 12ax7 and two 6l6 really happy with it as a high spl pedal platform
Picked up this Sundown Artist 100 a few days ago off some crazy guy for $100 (no speaker or tubes but works fine).. Got to try it out before he removed tubes+speaker and I liked the sound a lot, snarly gainy but vintage? Looked like it sat in a puddle when I got it but warm soapy water, some glue and my staple gun I got the tolex fixed up nice enough and the dirt off. Luckily the inside of the amp itself is actually super clean! Got tubes and caps coming, gonna recap, tube/bias it and I think this is gonna become my main/only amp! excuse the cellphone photos...

yeah thats what im thinking too, it has independent volume control for each channel on the send and on the return of the f/x loop. the reverb is very nice and actually usable throughout its entire range, doesn't get seriously surfy but its SO much nicer than say the reverb in my blues deluxe. hard to find too much info on the amp

Sweet another Sundown owner! I love my Rebel 100 head... Good score
not much has changed in my stacks. but I got a decent pic this morning of everyone lined up
mesa 4x12 - four EV12L speakers, weighs over 130lbs, fane 2x12 - Studio 12L orange cabs have mesa celestion V30 (they sounded better to me then the orange stock V30) Berg NV412 stock.
I shuffled my amps around again after some major speaker reconfiguration. And propped some guitars up against them for the offset guitar page. But I only love ILF really.
