Picked up an old Earth "Original".....lol and a set of old Shure Vocal Master speaker columns at a yard/resort sale for the princely sum of.......$100 :eek:

Heres some pics, including one with the actual Peavey it copies which i hilariously picked up 3 days before

Considering using the Vocal Master columns for a home stereo system....or replacing the speakers and using it live for a PA just to blow someones mind :lol:

Very nice dude!

How does that peavey sound? I think I saw one of those at a pawn shop recently for pretty damn cheap.

sweet deal. It's one of the builds I plan on doing in the near future. I want to do one in birch and one in oak and I haven't decided quite yet on the staining.

It sounds great, the onboard overdrive isnt spectacular but other than that

I'm curious as to how it sounds compared to the peavey. you present a rare opportunity to add to the collective knowledge base having both. An A/B through the same cab would be awesome if you can swing it. I know next to nothing about the solid state earth stuff, aside from after peavey sued and they changed the circuit they became fire hazards and that killed the company.
