HT-5s are okay, they sound good for what they are. Just wont take dirt pedals well, I ran a Blackheart Little Giant and HT-Distortion pedal for a long time and sounded better than a HT-5 so yeah? They'd be a good backup amp at least.

They just look cheaply built and I had two RV50s shit out on me but they were covered under warranty. I haven't had any issues with the Hovercraft beyond the insane urge to buy another one. The TH-30 does look badass but the now discontinued Rocker 30 is where it's at! WAY overpriced now days if you can track one down though. Saw one at Maker's Music recently for almost $1500, madness! You could get a full rig or dual Dwarvenauts for that price...
Eh, I bought my RV50mkii for a couple hundred less than most of the Rocker 30s i've seen online.

And what do you mean by prevention? Is it forbidden??
Apparently there were emails sent when someone mentioned they were gointo post guts shots somewhere. Possiblt here actually! The person eventually decided against posting them. Don't get me wrong, I love what Hovercraft are doing, and I believe it's coming from a good place, that kind of secrecy just irritates me.

Ahhh, I hadn't heard about that.
My Dwarvenaut is currently over at my buddy's jam space but I'll get it opened up here soon. Been meaning to get a gut pic anyway.
