GASing for a Budda Superdrive 80

[primerib]

I'm primarily a metal head, but for some reason I want a Budda SD 80. It seems to have the plexi on steroids thing going on.

Please, talk me out of it. ASAP!

Get it and throw a boost in front. I guarantee you'll be shocked.

Great amp!!!

One of a short list of amps I would buy again.
Crazy loud. Not a "bedroom at 3am " amp

Love the SuperDrives. Do it and don't look back

Alright, I'll be the bad guy.

Master volume was either off, or too loud.

Did not have that upper mid/high bite that a plexi has.

That's all I got. Everything else on that head was good. Nice clean channel, good loop, small headshell fit perfectly on top of a THD 2 X 12, never gave me any problems.

I can't. They're cool amps. I loved mine with an Boss SD1 in front.

I have the SD45. I certainly wouldn't be able to talk you out of an SD80 as I'd love to own one!

I had the 45 and it was ridiculously loud. I hear the 80 is worse.

There's nothing wrong with the SD45 at gig volumes. It's not great for home use.

Neither is the 18! Stupid loud! I had one briefly.. I don't know what it was, but the bottom end was always too loose and flabby. Boosted, and an EQ in the loop wouldn't fix it.. I certainly don't see it as an amp metal guys would dig.

Yea maybe a gig at at Madison Square Garden. I found the same thing, loose and almost fuzzy sounding. Turned it around in 2 days flat. I have and have had 100 watters that are usable at reasonable levels, The Budda wasnt one of them.

My quote was taken out of context. The SD45 is fine for pub and club volumes, especially through the Phat12 speakers.

I've seen this one on CL, but it's in Hawaii.

That was one of the reasons I got rid of the 18 , too fricking loud for home use duh. I would imagine the 80 would blow the house apart or small venue for that matter
