I just recently came across their line of amps... Anyone here own one? They're pretty cheap but I'm sceptical, the reviews at harmony central are to good to be true... How do the AT-100 compare to a dual rectifier?
B-52 Amps?!

In my opinion, dosen't even come CLOSE to sounding like a recto. Save for the real deal if you want something that sounds like a recto. Or if you want an even better sound, get a 5150.
I was talking to a salesperson at GC about these amps when I was shopping for a new head, and he told me that they are EXTREMELY unreliable and could not recommend buying one.

Sounds like shit!
It seems some people really dig them, but a long time ago, I played a show where the opening band used a B-52 and it crapped out before soundcheck was through. I'm pretty sure it was a solidstate head. This was way back when they first hit the market though, so perhaps they're a bit better now?

I've only heard a few people dick around with them at GC, but everything I heard is that it's the poor man's recto. Anyone I've asked say they are great bangs for the buck.
