Tube Amp Frenzy.

[batlas]

If the quality of an amp would be measured by the numbers of tubes...
this one would surely be the winner..

It has been getting some good reviews, but once you join this forum you dont trust anything untill you read it here
does anyone know anything about these amps? ugly looking buggers.

Im currently looking into selling my dsl100 stack and...im torn between
a KranK Revolution or a Peavey JSX.....gonna try the jsx soon. But as im in Iceland theres not a single revolution here.

17 is so 80's.....get out the spandex......24 tubes is so more 2006

What the heck has 17? A stereo amp?

Mine has 14, that's bad enough at re-tube time.

I've played one of those B-52's before. It's OK. I played one once and it seemed to lack bass and the gain channels were very bright and "scratchy". I played one a second time and it sounded pretty decent. I've heard them be referrred to as a poor mans Recto, but I'm not a huge Recto fan. May not be bad with the right cab, though. For my money, I'd look at different amps in the used arena for what the B52's go for new.
