New Amp! Sovtek Mig

Pulled the trigger and bought a Mig 50 today. It's beat to hell, but I got it for $225, so no complaints!
It sounds incredible. Channel two is ridiculously bright. It's absolutely insane how much it cuts. Channel one is a nice amount of dark (but not too much). It's really similar to the 50's DuKane PA head I use in the studio.
Definitely super happy with this sucker!

Killer price.
Y-splitter or use an A-B-Y box set to Y and you get the same effect as bridging a 4 input Marshall.

This belongs in the Confessions thread... way back when, I had a MIG 50 in my possession. It didn't pass a signal... so I sold it for $25. I thought it was dead. I was also an idiot.

Thank you all! Pics to come after I get it home from the studio for some cleaning. I'm thinking about rehousing it and making it look as good as it sounds.

Good to know. I'll definitely try that asap!

That was me. And thank you for your input in making a choice way back in that thread. It was much appreciated!

Also a sweet deal! How do you like it?

Oh no! That's a major bummer!

It was a very long time ago and I knew zilch about gear at the time. Still, fuck my face.

I miss my mig50 and they are way too expensive now. That's a great deal for one. I always see them go for 500 and mine was 350 a decade ago. Best sounding head I've played.

I sold my MIG 60 not too long ago. Miss it sometimes, but I tripled my investment on it so I couldn't pass it up.

Here's a pic of the new Mig in all its beat up glory...(plus the DuKane 1u325).
I made the cabinet a couple months back...it's 1 inch yellow pine from an old barn with a half-closed back panel and Jensen ceramic speaker inside.
