Damn, was going to put my Pawn Shop ($165) Red Stripe MIA Peavey Bandit on craigslist. Plugged it in to make sure everything was working; no scratchy pots, reverb is fine, switches are fine ... can't do it ... that thing sounds GREAT! It has super minor cosmetic wear which I covered up with pleather ... it sounds better than my silver stripe 112 Express and I put a Jensen Electric Lightning in the Express! ... if you can find these amps they are a steal!

I feel like most of their amps kinda fall in that direction, they just aren't "cool" so the prices are always low?

Where'd you find that?

A UK gear website. Been after some kind of Traynor for a while. It'll tide me over until I can afford the dream amp- a silverface Super Reverb

I just can't believe one of those sold in the UK - and came to Brum, no less - and I didn't know about it! I've had my eye on everything in that vein for ages as a bigger brother to my YGM3.

Yesterday's practice rig.
Running my 1993 MIA Telecaster through a few fuzz pedals in to a Vox AC30C2X, and a 1971 Fender PA100 into a ported 1x15 cab. Think Neil Young's "Zuma" era sound.

55 narrow panel deluxe. Pretty much stock I think, except for power cord, back panel, handle, and tone caps.
