Yes - I think it was one of the first things he that got him into building cabs. Apparently it had been empty for quite a while so I got a good deal on it. He did an excellent job adapting it to fit the Martamp based solely off my measurements - it fits perfectly and is absolutely stunning! He's a good guy and I highly recommend his work.

The same goes for Martin at Martamps - top guy, top quality amps!

We don't faff about with the cheapskate gear in here do we!  :lol:

How is the Mesa Nomad? I nearly bought one of those a few years back but lack of funds stopped me.

Cool... I've got a 4 x 10 too and it's the dogs and like you I can't recommend him highly enough! Once I'm sorted with a few problems I have right now, Martamps will be hearing from me.... not going to be anytime soon but I've heard so many good things about his amps I owe it to myself to "have a look"  :wink:

First thing:it's beautiful,really  :)!Very well built too.I don't use the combo alone,it really needs the 4x12 to sound right to my ears.It took me some time to understand how to get the best of it .It's very sensitive to different tubes.The first channel is awesome!I can get all kind of cleans thanks to the two modes:clean & pushed.Clean mode gives you one of the best "fenderish" clean you can dream off.Very glassy and impressive with EL34's or EL84's  8)!I use the "pushed" mode to get some really fat cleans,ideal for solo's etc.Right now,i use KT77's and,in that mode,it gives me a lot of versatility because it interacts so well with pedals.OD's sound huge !In fact,the KT77's helped me a lot to find my tone with this amp.But it's difficult to get the 3 channels sounding good with the same tubes  :? I would say it's a quality amp but difficult to dial. Cheers  :D!
