Sorry I couldn’t find them I reckon it was a mistake in the advertising. 

Ah, no worries

They WERE there, but only one head and cab on the new European distributors stall in the guitar area of the show. NOT the new heads though as they haven't shipped over here yet.

I trawled the guitar section and didn’t see that but it was the new heads I wanted to look at really. Glad I didn’t miss them!

Have there been any sightings of these new amps in the wild yet?

 

Asking for a friend....

Shipping started a week ago I believe so will see them in next couple of months...

[ossyrocks]

I've seen nothing so far. Does anyone know any more?

I hadn't spotted that Andy, right at the very bottom of the page!

 

I know I'll have to try one of these out as soon as I can.

Who's getting one?

 

And which one? The 2001 is monstrous. 

 

And that's just the spec. imagine what it's like for real.

The temptation is strong indeed. It depends how close the tone is to the old ones for me. I'd love that old RB tone in a modern reliable and dependable package. One of my vintage RBs is poorly, and it's possibly terminal, and I can't find anyone to fix it, the other two are ok for the time being, but who knows what the future will bring. I have a modern Class D Legacy 800 too, it's not the same, but it has it's place. 

 

I would be looking at the 1001RB Legacy, and that would be way more power than I would ever need.

Have you spoken to Stan at The Amp Hospital in Guildford?

No, I've been trying to find someone local to me. It may have to come to this though, I'll check him out.

Stan Lawrence is a very competent service professional. He may be a little more expensive than an average technician, but I would also suggest that in this case you get (more than) what you pay for.

I've used Gee electronics in Warrington who were very good. Experienced with solid state stuff too, as a lot of amp repair places seem to focus on valve stuff.
