Thinking about getting a new guitar amp. Was planning on going Science again, any other builders I should look at? I'm thinking about getting a amp in the lower wattage range of things.

Relevant to my interest, although I'm pretty set on an ehx mig 50. I know it's more amp than I need for the foreseeable future...

Discontinued last year when he started the amp refresh. It was my dream amp and it is no more.

Did he say if he was gonna redo it or is it for real dead?

From my conversation with him a year ago, it was dead and not going to be a part of the refresh. Not enough people were ordering a lower watt amp.

Every once in a while, I'll listen to the demos he sent me in regret that I didn't order it then.

Benson. The Vinny is incredible at cleans and edge-of-breakup tones. I personally wasn't blown away by its drive in the 7-10 knob range, but this is ILF...you have awesome pedals, so who cares.

I was actually looking at the Vinny, too recently.

Others to consider: Satellite Gammatron , De Lisle Nickel Box, Gries 5
