VHT(Fryette) Pittbull 45. Kind of like an ac30 meets hiwatt. 30-45 watts, el 84s, 2 channels with a foot switchable.boost on each channel, really good fx loop.

Takes pedals very well. NOT a high gain amp. Very overlooked IMO. I've seen them go between $600-$800

Why are Music Man amps being called "sleeper amps"?

All the fun with an extra out for stereo chorus/feed to a board/slave amp, and blisteringly loud for a 1x12

even on Craigslist they are crazy cheap…I am old enough to remember when those were the amp to have in the early 90's.

well to me I think they are well priced for how good they sound and how loud they are.

I think it depends on where you are.
In LA right now on craigslist I see a 210 HD130 for $900 and a 212 65 for $695, that's quite a lot for those amps.
I picked up my HD130 for $450 and a friend got a 212 HD130 for $500. That's around where they should be, tbh.

Yeah I agree. I got my HD130 for $450 (even though I had to put work into it, I still think it was a good deal). They become a lot less fantastic when you start paying over $600

Also, KMD XV100SD. Like a more polite JCM800 but with two channels with independent EQ and two fx loops. With 4 6550 running warm it's capable of some massive volume and huge lowend, particularly with my Tremoverb's preamp running into it.

I use mine as a slave amp in a stereo rig with my Mesa Tremoverb by splitting the Mesa's loop send signal with a couple stereo pedals.

I gotta music man 2/12 65 that I would probably let go for $250 in the LA area.
