I had a Baron DHG that I only paid $1000 for. That was like the flagship model because it had both the British and American high gain channels. Nice amp, especially for the price, but I had other stuff that I felt was better, so I traded it. It was more compressed than what I usually prefer
I did though bring it in to the Axe Palace once and Nick (the main guy there) reluctantly said “I admit it, I’m impressed”. I preferred to it to almost everything he had there at the time except the Engl Artist Edition, which I ended up buying, but also eventually traded
