The SD80's one of my favorite amps too. One of the few I have regrets about selling.

Cograts. 
I admit I have a bit of gas for either an sd80 or sd45.

They're just different amps, they do different things.

LOL!
It depends on my mood but that amp never dissappoints. Everytime I plug into it and hit it with a boost I wonder why they're not talked about more often.

That's great to be digging an amp that much.
Plug in...there's your tone...ahhhh.
I know this sounds crazy, but the cheap Haze 40 combo is my tone exactly, it's got that tone I hear in my head, I totally dig it.

Yup.... Its like a different take on a hotrodded Plexi.
Nah it doesn't sound crazy at all. You don't need to spend $3k on an amp just because...
I play my son's 5150 combo and we spent $430 on it and it freaking rules for that modern metal tone. Really tough to beat.

Many heavy modern recordings are done with a 5150. It does it's job well.Vrad":196pm7qt said:Randy Van Sykes":196pm7qt said:That's great to be digging an amp that much.

Funny that EVH came up with that amp, because it's nothing like his brown sound, but he invented something great, it's much better for heavier metal drop tuned stuff.

Yup. It's all those European metal bands in a box. With little effort it sounds dead-on. Yeah its ironic that it sounds like that and EVH designed it. LOL!

I'll bet that it palm mutes with the best of 'em with the right boost in front.

Yeah I usually slap an SD-1 in front of it. It's 80's metal all day long.

I really want to check one of these out sometime. You've had some really nice amps and if this one is turning your crank it would be worth checking out.

With the boost engaged it has that really thick, organic Andy Timmons type of tone, it's really sings. The neck pickup sounds really sweet. It's like a cross between an old Marshall and a Lonestar. I think people are expecting the typical bright Marshall tone, like the more recent Marshalls and are thrown by it. Judging by the reviews at the Gear Page I must be one of the few that got a good one, or maybe I like bad tone.
