Your Thoughts On Budda Combo Amps???

[pythagoras]

I've got an opportunity to snag one.
Anyone have one or are there issues with these amps?
I only hear great things about them.

Which model is it? I had a super drive series II 18-watter that smoked. Very versatile amp...great for any kind of overdrive sound from classic to modern. Not really a great amp for crystal clean, but for "pushed" clean it was great. My only gripe was the speakers...wasn't a huge fan of them. But your mileage may vary there (who makes Budda's speakers? Celestion?).

i never owned one, but played one at guitar center.
it was a one trick pony that had mediocre cleans, had a great semi distorted pushed tone (stated above), and didn;t go into high gain territory.
even though it's a one trick pony, that pushed tone was one of the best i've heard.

Actually...here is a clip of my SD18 doing a fairly heavy tone: http://www.riscchip.com/1077xl_heavy.mp3

thats a pretty cool sounding clip.
the budda at my local gc sounded nothing like that.
