Rewind Electric. I have a Low Wind A2 (bridge) and a Bloomfield A3 (neck) in one LP and a set of PAF-1 A4s in another. I prefer lower wind Humbuckers in my LPs for higher gain stuff as I don’t feel the need to drive amps that are already high gain (or being hit with a boost) via a hot pickup.

@Yehuda is an absolute bloodhound when it comes to hunting down rare / desirable amps. HNAD @gybe! and well played @Yehuda 🤟

It’s Ankylosing Spondylitis - the same condition Mick Mars has.

Mesa Stiletto - they are up for sale for around £1k here in the UK and sit for ages. The vid below (not mine) is a great review with some (to my ears) good tones.

If I could only have one, it would be the Marshall but, as you say, they are different enough to justify having both. Both sound killer. Your amp list is insane by the way - what a collection (past and present).

Just a comment on the VH4 - great amp, versatile, surprisingly good clean, channel 3 is “that” sound, channel 2 can get quite Marshally (at least mine can - it’s from 2021and from comments / clips I’ve seen, the newer ones seem to be a bit brighter than the older versions) and channel 4 has more...

Sorry, totally forgot to reply to this bit! Both sets of shelves are Ikea Billy Bookcases. I had to add the supplied backing piece to the tall set of shelves to add rigidity (the more tacks you use on it the better) and then cut holes in it for cables / ventilation, but the Billys work really...

I’d say it punches in a different way (the way I have them dialled in anyway). I’m going to butcher this description, but to me the VH4 has more subs going on, it’s thicker and is like being punched in the stomach. The Headfirst is more direct and is like a punch to the face.

Although the clones are no more, if the quality of my Headfirst is anything to go by, the Alta and Evil Joe are fantastic amps. Jason is a great guy to deal with too.

I own a Stiletto Deuce Stage 1 and also a 101b from around 2020/21. The Deuce is a great amp if you take the time to dial it in - it’s pretty finicky, but great once you get there. I run mine with a Buxom Boost out front and an EQ in the loop. I also run it through Greenbacks - I can imagine...

I have a Headfirst MCII build. It’s a 25 watter but in a small box headshell. I haven’t run it side by side against a real MCII, but I will say this: it punches harder than any of my other amps (VH4, JMP 2204, Mesa Stiletto, Boogie MK IV and 101b). It’s also a very loud 25 watts - very open and...

I’m with you - I don’t know what I’m looking at, but it looks awesome. I love the attention to detail on display - I know the sound is what matters, but aesthetically it’s just really pleasing to my eyes. Can’t wait to hear you put it through its paces.

What a great sounding amp - congratulations!

Yep, nothing but great experiences here too. Hats off to Dave - to build a great product is one thing, to build a great business another, but to do all of that whilst remaining down to earth and treating customers so well seems to be a rare thing in the music instrument game

I haven’t found it yet, but it will undoubtedly be the next amp I plan to buy. Always is….

Stunned to read that there’s now a major focus on deterring looters. First I heard of this was in a short clip from Bonamassa, but it’s been reported more generally here in the UK. Can’t imagine the level of low life you need to be to want to loot homes that had to be abandoned in a situation...

Hope your house is ok - thoughts are with you and everyone effected.

For what it’s worth, an easy way to tell which is which from the front panel is to look at the areas with blue “circles” in the pics below. The old 3 channel has one switch below the channel selector LED, whilst the Multi-Watt has two switches, one above and one below the channel selector LED.

Happy New Year all! All the best for 2025 - here’s hoping it’s a great one for you all ?

Ha - just saw this! Great work so far and it would be great if someone could pull off the vocals to help bring it all together.
