Wow, more gas. One of my all time fav. guitarists.
 
Alex Skolnick and Steve Morse....two of the best! Can't wait to try this amp out.
 
Yeah cant wait to hear more... never owned or played a budda!

But I grew up w alex n eric as by dominant influences !!!!
 
Looks like a Peavey design, after all Peavey bought Budda several years ago and none of the original guys are left.
 
That shit is getting really old. These fkn amp prices are out of control !
 
Peavey bought budda ? Wow. I know nothing about budda amps. I know Alex does shit with peavey.
 
Budda was a successful Boutique amp company. They had their own sound, mostly blues to rock. Very cool and great amps. Musicians Friend Carried them for a while. Peavey bought them maybe 4 to5 years ago (not exactly sure of the date). The original owners stayed on for about a year but left. So Budda is all Peavey now.
 
looks f_cking ugly is what it does. Wasn't Skolnick blowing his load over these old Marshall tube amps with an ugly modern design that briefly hit the market and then tanked ?
 
Have any of you looked at a Marshall that's a fkn ugly amp always has been. Amongst others. Throw the fuckin amp in a roadcase n play. Who stares at it anyway ?

What is a good looking amp anyway?
 
I was going to say it looked like a Peavey JSX and a Mesa Dual Rec Roadster had a bastard child...
