Anyone ever run across Hafler Triple Giants?

[Shreddy Mercury]

I've had 2, and regrettably sold the last one before even getting to play it and kinda tossing around the idea of another one. I really enjoyed jamming on my first HTG a lot but I haven't seen any in a while.

Someone here has one for sale… with some other rack stuff too. Probably within the past 6 weeks I think.

I had one for a while and sold it when I made the move from rack stuff back to heads and a pedalboard. Very, very cool preamps for sure. I had mine modded by VooDoo amps - it was their typical mod: “makes the amp easier to play, 10 gauge strings feel like 9s…” I am now convinced that part of this mod is adding compression somewhere in the gain stage to add sustain and smooth everything out. In hindsight, I wish I had left my Triple G stock, because after the mod it lost quite a bit of dynamic response from pick attack and the guitar’s volume knob. I now prefer amps with less compression and more dynamics - and the Triple G had that in spades before I had it modded.

But super well made, lots of tonal and gain variation between the channels, akin to a 3-channel Bogner Fish on a budget.

Played through one years ago at Lentine's Music in Akron, OH with the matching Rackmount Hafler tube power amp through a Marshall 4x12 cab and an Ebony Gibson Explorer and it nailed the Metallica "Enter Sandman" tone ??

Yeah, I had one of those for a bit, years ago. You see them around from time to time if you´re not in a hurry, but I guess they might be unusual enough to not be found at the drop of a hat.

I had one and didn’t love it.

PSA:
There's one on Austin CL for $1950.
Not something I'm interested in.

I had one for a while,then got a fish preamp.So I had both running together for a while.Triple was nice,and the brown ch was the winner on it,but the fish was nxt level better imho.The triple pops up bout once a year fs if you're looking.

Ya, me too.
Brown is ‘good’ but that’s it.
Clean and Sharp channels (IMO) suck.

I owned Bogner Fish #13 in 1991 and there’s no comparison. In my opinion, The Triple Giant isn’t in the same league.

Decent Pre-Amp. They are well made. It was in my stable years ago when I was pre-amp flipping but I never clicked with it. And now the prices are just crazy. Something along the same lines as the Triple was the Groove Tubes Trio, I thought the Trio was a much better pre-amp and used prices are a bit cheaper not to mention Bogner did the high gain channel on the Trio.

Just realized this is the same guy selling the Sambora SLO for $10g and an Astroverb for $3g. Def smoking crack
