Had fun with this one. Was really surprised with how awesome some of the tones turned out. Gonna use this set up again for sure.

I really like the GK 250ML
It's definitely a love/hate affair for people, but I dig it

I got mine re-coned a few years back. The cones took 6 months to ship from GK in California!

It totally is. It's sharp, biting and compressed sounding which I guess some folks don't like.
Listening to Power Windows and Somewhere in Time it really contributed to a unique washy sound for a few years.

I swear EVH used one on Cabo Wabo. I can make mine totally nail that tone, IIRC, with the EQ knobs all at noon. And there was an MTV special at 5150 around the Cherone era and they showed a 250ML on one of the shelves there.

That's really interesting. I'd love to see a photo of it. I know there are photos of it in David Gilmour, Alex Lifeson, Adrian Smith, Dave Murry, Strangeways etc rigs.

Here is David Gilmours late 80s rig with one being used as a PreAmp only.

i love em, kinda sounds like a Rockman on 'roids. Been looking for one of those 2000CPL preamps for years, but have never even seen one for sale.

Been looking for a Gallien 2100 SEL too, again never saw one come up. Are these super rare or did people just hang on to em?

Bought mine new in '83. It's my oldest piece of gear. It's the loudest smallest amp I've ever heard. My Pyle speakers have stood up over time. Many have to replace them as the surrounds deteriorate. 1st time I ever used it thru a 4x12 cab I was shocked how full it sounded. Although I don't use it much these days I won't sell it.
