One of my very first amps back in 1977... played a lot of cr@p punk rock on that little guy. Happy days :lol:

Apologies for the threadnomancy but I thought the Dominator-o-philes here (sounds like something Max Mosely would be interested in) might like to know that in the current issue (May 2010) of Vintage Guitar Magazine there is an article about WEM Dominators and their history.  A good and informative, if short, read.

I'm actually selling mine, it's in the Seconds Out section in this very forum!

Will be sorry to see it go actually, it's a great little amp.  I Just need some more headroom and some more gain as it has been my only amp for the last 6 months.  I can only really justify one amp (I don't include my VOX DA5 in that)

Price has gone up a little though since I bought it :oops:

But it has had a new speaker / service / preamp valve / filter caps and some cobwebs blown out of it!

I guess it fits in well with the Pink Floyd stuff then Dashface, they were partial to the odd WEM weren't they?

The name is certainly what attracted me to it, though it's far too teeny for actual use with the Floyd act.  I'm glad I got it; it has a great sound and makes a fine practice amp at home.  I would, of course, kill for a WEM cab or three (such as the real Floyd used), but over here in Canada WEM cabs are rarer than a hen's wisdom teeth.
