Electro Harmonix MIG Reissue

[D.o.S.]

That's actually so shitty. Who steals a fuse holder?

[lordgalvar]

People that know they are impossible to find and they lost theirs. Stupid red caps. They were kinda not well made and if you bumped 'em right, they popped off.

I'm rocking mine as a bass amp. So diirrrrty

[frigid midget]

20 pieces wtf??

The MIG 50 wouldn't been a perfect amp for me, the only reason I didn't pull the trigger on one ages ago is that I kept hearing/reading terrible things about Sovteks reliability and build quality...:s

So they better start building more of those, and ship a whole bunch to several stores in Europe.

$600!

This.

I don't know FOR SURE that they were stolen, but there would have been ample opportunities. They could have just popped off somewhere along the way but...

According to this thread (w/ pictures!), the first 20 (or 18?) were hand wired in the US, but all subsequent MIGs will be built in China

They'd better be $200 cheaper!

If the MIC MIGs are priced accordingly and still a good sort of PCB build, I could still see being all over that. Rather than trying to mod a Jet City 20 to tweed Bassman/JTM zone, buy an amp that's already there for the same price and just fine tune? Sounds like a decent idea to me.

I'm keen to see how this pans out.

The guitarist during my short-lived experience in a high school Death Metal band used to play a Boss HM-2 into the original production version of this amp with a matching cab back in the early 90's. I'd imagine these would be incredibly fuzz friendly and loud as balls, which precludes me from ownership given current nomadic apartment life. Poo.

If these are anything at all like the original they will be wanton fuzz slaves, that will exist only to provide you with volume, craving with sweaty, drooling anticipation, the moment you step on that pedal.

For the record I still have mine and it has been a headache, but I have a plan for it, that may kick some arse if I can pull it off.

[odontophobia]

the best part about this amp is that, judging by the jacks on the front they appear to be accurate clones, down to the plastic jacks that everybody complained about.....

would rather have RedBear reissues.

[Iommic Pope]

Dude, real jacks would clearly make this and $800 amp.

More importantly, does it have those explosive Soyuz era death caps?

hey dudes, heres some photos of mine. please note whats written right above the signature.

this arrived today from Main Drag. all and all, its a solid little 50 watt tube amp. its affordable, its very light (30lbs tops), its very loud, not a whole lot of coloring either way. theres two inputs, one of which is the "bright" input, no gain knob situation, and basic EQs. id say its not unlike the low-gain input of past MIGs (i play my Mig100 on the low gain input, with pedals doing any pushing, and this is a touch under that) and definitely not capable of Mig100 style distortion in-the-box. its an amp made by someone who also wants to sell you a distortion pedal. cant do alot of speaking for the internal componants, but ::shrug:: no complaints here. i almost wish they had said fuck it and built a big muff channel in for kicks instead of a bright channel.
