by the way, the Larry amp I posted above is a British Purist.
The other Larry design, the Dino 939, is played by Jon Schaffer. Larry posted on HRI that Tim has ordered a Dino as well, so I guess it must be really worth it, as for that acquisition, he will have to wind MANY pickups.
Tim, if you're out there and reading, did you get your Dino already? Would you mind sharing any clips of yours with it?

I have heard good stuff about those larry amps. Are they like souped up Marshalls. Also the small Matamp and the green amp great looking. How much does the Larry cost?
That all sounds well and good Hunter, but there is only so much you can do with valves, resistors, capacitors and transformers. Once you get to a certain point I believe there can be no 'better', only 'different'. If you like it, then great, but I smell overpricing ;)
Having an amp tuned for an individual valve sounds like marketing rubbish as valves wear out and then need to replaced. I think it's a way to justify a crazy high price, with no real benefit to the end user.
100 hours for one off-the-shelf-amp???????
The amps are no rip-off or do you think Tim Mills would have spent this kind of money for the Dino otherwise? He must have been really impressed with Schaffers amp.
By the way, Larry told me that Mike Fortin bought both, a BP and a Dino in early 2007/2008, without Larry knowing that Mike is a builder or would start his amp business. Rings any bells?

Isn't that the case with guitars and well, everything though? The guitar I'm getting put together at the mo has the the best of everything when it comes to wood, finish and components (with the exception of the pickup). But because it's getting put together/set-up by Feline and Mark Jenny it's costing me 1/4 of the price of a modern eagle or half of my Vigier :p

It's £5000 for a slightly souped up Marshall....
I don't think you can love an amp the same way you can a guitar, or at least the average person....I agree..that I am NOT average!
To be honest, I don't think you can love an amp the same way you can a guitar, or at least the average person.

Dude you have no idea. Amp love is burning hot and strong in my heart!
Only a young fella of your age who hasn't yet experienced The Tone in the flesh can say that :lol:
Again, I cannot imagine otherwise that Tim would shell out 5K for an amp.
