Well, a number of reasons. It was an NVM build, so it was TOUGH to get it sounding good without overpowering the Matamp through its 2x15. What's more, is there was no effects loop to put a preamp on it.

Grabbed a brand new Hiwatt Super Leeds 150 with the money I had left over. Solid State, but have heard nothing but great things about the Crunch series, which this is an update of. Cool nerd thing - seems like there's only a handful of these in Canada, none in the states, guess Hiwatt only got one shipment over here since these just came out this month.

Hiwatt has an MV, on top of a direct out for recording. Fuck yeah.

Aight that's all.

If you've got working speakers ot Amp bodies and have basic sautering skills I could probably hook you up with my Amp Guy and mail ya the circuitry and things to pop into a shell and get yourself a dastardly custom made amp. You basically can just give the dude a few bands to go off as an example and vague descriptors and make exactly what you want from that.
