Heya witeter! I think we may have a mutual friend, t'other guitarist in my band (Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster) - I believe he knows one of you Insuna guys anyway! :)

Anyways... I use a Fryette Sig X. Each channel is really nice and offers a wide range of tones. Though the KT88 power section is a little 'American' sounding, if that makes sense. Not really like a Marshall - crank a JCM800 or a DSL, and the extra aggressive mid-range bite you get from the EL34's... just sounds lush. I've played a JSX too, great amps. I'd be keen to try out a Peavey 3210 as well, although I had naively assumed it was just a re-badged JSX, since Satch took his endorsement to other places. Could be wrong on that. Will have to try one out!

Hey man yeah i guess thats probably Bag!(or thats what Dave-our drummer calls him lol) fancy that :-)
Yeah the 3120 is actually a relaunched XXX but with a slightly different eq system and EL34s-ppl say it sounds better though so whatever has been 'tweaked' has been for the better. I also like its very quiet unlike the JSX i tried.
Normally im in 2 minds about EL34s but the 3120 had them in and sounded awesome!

Yeah was recently reading about the Fryette-looks great and has very good reviews-and sounds very versatile also. That must have set you back a fair bob though! I think the JSX has been relaunched as the XXX II btw.
So yeah in process of selling my Mesa tu fund the Peavey :-) cant wait!

They don't need to take the technology forward - especially as their 10 year license has expired and not been renewed
Valve amp tech is old stuff and other modders are giving us all the fresh options via the modules
There is a mod to let the RM100 take dual Egnater modules and Egnater  are renewing their line next year on the modular range

Here is a link to some of the current mods available:

I'm liking the look of the new Angel-E:

Quote
ANGEL E with 4 band EQ, as used on Steve More signature amp, E580 Tube preamp, E530 tube preamp etc.
BASS, LO MID, HI MID, TREBLE...together with  CONTOUR and MID EDGE switches it is the most versatile EQ ever used in MTS module.

Out of those three, discounting the fact I am selling a Sig X, I'd say Sig X or Randall RM100.
