Like I posted in the GAS thread, an early '80s Music Man 112RD 100 turned up locally and I got it down to the equivalent of $565, so had to get. A Fender black face-type amp has been on my wishlist for a while, but a Super Twin (like my friend has) is way too heavy for me, plus usually expensive. This baby I was able to pick up in my car and carry up the two flights of stairs to my place without gassing out completely, although it was not pleasant.
The TOANZ, however! Definitely a step up from the Peavey Pacer that it displaced, tho that's also a good SS amp and I would say it has a better reverb tank. But then the MM has the two TAD 6L6 output tubes, two channels (the distortion is awesome), working original footswitch and all that. EV speaker, gets plenty loud but can be put on 50w mode, and of course it takes pedals really well.

But I prefer the studio setting sound-wise. Haven't really ever dialed it in perfectly tho, so at times I don't like the way it takes certain pedals. But certainly a workhorse amp that sounds good recorded (w/ ribbon mic an arm's length away) and looks fab.

A friend makes the Tronographic Rusty Box pedals, which are fairly straight up recreations of the preamp from a Traynor TS-50B. He had me build him an amp using the Rusty Box PCB as the preamp for a Sunn style backend. Chassis was his, and sadly I didnt get the chance to make it into a proper completed amp with a cab and faceplates and all that. It still came out pretty rad, though:
