How's this amp holding up for you?? I think I may pull the trigger on one tomorrow

Donny, I would really recommend you go for the Blue Voodoo over the B52. I have both, and the BV is a far superior piece of equipment. The B52 is fragile, and has major teething problems. Mine is brand new, and has to go in for repairs. My reverb doesn't work, and the amp sounds like fried ass. Many of the components are flimsy cheap shit, that will fall to pieces if you look at them sideways. Other people have had problems with the tolex bubbling, and countless other things. I truly believe it has the potential to be a great amp, but it's not yet.

One the other hand, I've been dragging my BV120 around for 3 years now, and it has never even so much as hiccupped on me.

K, just got back from playing it again..... With my Model 2 it just didn't sound right... Now I'm all sorts of confused

I'm planning on checking out a Valveking tomorrow. But that's not going to help you much since I also like the BV120, and you think it sucks. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Zeegler I'm sorry to hear your B-52 didn't work out.
My combo sounds f'n great. I agree they've got some growing pains to go thru, but so far mine is doing ok.
My buddy bought the head the same night I got my combo and he's had zero problems with his.
I think the QC kind of sucks and you either get a good one or you don't.

Re: B52 AT 212 Ok so I bought one

Yeah, I haven't given up hope yet. I am having it repaired, and I'm hoping that it sounds as good as everyone elses. If it sounds good enough to become a keeper, I'll probably end up changing a lot of the cheapo components out with good ones. If it's still no good, I'm selling the damn thing, and buying a Mesa SIngle Rectifier, which I should have bought in the first place. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
