I took a chance and made a trade for one of these last week. Anyone have any experience with or comments about this amp?

The best part about hanging at the shop every day, is playing the Wizzard Modern/Classic through a Scumback cab. Incredible amp on every level

Loud, Organic and Raw!!! If you need customer support on it be very carefull how you handle Rick St. Pierre.
I purchased mine second hand. When I received it, it needed an OT, which you can only get from Wizard. I was lucky the ACDC tour was postponed and Rick agreed to take it in and he fixed it for me at a reasonable cost. However, he was very short with his responses and did not keep me posted and I felt like I was hanging.(He was due to leave for several months in two days). I made the mistake of emailing him one too many times in my anticipation and let me tell you; He has a very bad temper and it is very easy to get on his bad side if you did not buy the amp from him. Great amp with killer tone!!!! When I first received it in need of repair, I emailed Rick asking for advice and told him I was going to have someone look at it. He flipped out and demanded I send it to him and it was downhill from there. He did come through and replaced the OT and completely went over the amp. He also told me if I dare open it up even to bias it he would know it!!! Very strange. He felt that I tinkered around inside the amp ruining the OT. The fact is,I did nothing to hurt the amp. I received it that way. It was very stressfulll dealing with him. I'm afraid if I open it up it will blow my face off. Lol!!! Trust me Rick is no joke. If he didn't have me by my balls I would not have been so humble. Just thought I should share my experiences with you. Owning a Wizard is not like owning any old amp if you have to deal with Rick, especially if you did not buy it from.

You can be glad you didn't call him, I did. Big mistake. But we got along some days later. I met Rick during the AC/DC tour this summer and he was great to talk too.

Poor you!!!! I am glad I didn't call him. Man, he ripped me at least three times. "You're really trying my patience now Mate" BACK OFF!!!!!! I kept looking out my window expecting a giant hot air ballon with ACDC's Hells Bells blaring from loudspeakers to fly over my house and drop my repaired amp through my roof. Oh I went through hell over that amp. didn't feel like I owned it, just rented it from the gatekeeper or something!!!!WTF!!!

Even if one buys the amp from him, the story is the same : he's very selective on who he treats well, and who he doesn't.
