When vintage sunn heads are so cheap, I find it hard to shell out that much.

Show me one and I'll buy it :idk:
let me re-phrase that...show me one that isn't a concert bass/lead/ whatever
actually let's change it one more time...if it isn't a 2000s, I'm not interested :thumb:

CL or eBay, yo. Saw a 2000s for $500 four months ago. Had $0. All it requires is patience. Also, the ss stuff doesn't suck...

As far as small amps go, these prices are way off the charts. I just bought a circa 10-watt 1960s hand-made American amp, an Alamo Ryder, that sounds :omg: :omg: :drool: and it was $150 :yay:

Go vintage (while it's still worth it)! :thumb:

You aren't going to find a small vintage amp that sounds like a Diabolical and I've had an Alamo Ryder and is was cool but didn't keep up with my Princeton. It was worth about $150.

Not really, at least in terms of not-mass-market-sold-at-Guitar-Center amps. The Diabolical is right in line with the Verellen Spaldo, Dr Z Maz 18, Reeves Custom 18, etc. and cheaper than a lot of the stuff out there (Matchless, Bad Cat, I am looking at you!). Sure, it is more expensive than a Tiny Terror or an AC15, but it is also made by hand, by a guy in a shop that you can call if you have any questions or problems.

Yea I know, great solid amps. Used to have some of the aforementioned ss sunns. Been there, don't care, I guess. If I saw one for CHEAP I'd get it another but I'm not gonna quest for one, ya know?

Haha, I don't have the money (yet) & that's the problem. I will some day though...& when that day comes I'll get 2 :thumb:
