I just scored this one! Now I have two. You can pick them up cheap and they sound very nice, also on low volume.

i was watching some live Rush footage recently. lifeson was using a H and K like usual. it sounded great but his tone with a les paul was a little too thick. not sure what kind he was using. did he have a signature model?

either way congrats!

The Statesman is not in production anymore, but I like the vintage tone. It sounds more old school than the Tubemeister-range. Clean is quite Fendery and with the twangbutton you can really funk. Drivechannel has a boost and gets you into classic Marshall-terrority, just a tad darker overall. The top has a solovolume too, which you can switch per footbutton. It's actually a simple plug- and play-amp. I have two Statesman EL34-heads now and a matching 2x12-cab, which give a lot of joy for no money.

Alex Lifeson has a signature Triamp. Totally different amp.

i'm pretty sure you've recommended them to me in the past. how much did you pay for this one?

375 euro, but in mint condition with a recent tube swap.
Yeah, I recommend the Statesman in the past. I had the 40 watts EL84 combo, which is a nice grab and go-amp. The head has quite some extra gain though and sounds a little smoother  than the EL84-combo. I sold the combo to fund some pedals, but I regretted it after a while. So I've been watching if good used ones come by. The head has two plusses over the combo: a solovolume and a separate eq's for both channels.

Oh lovely. You make it sound as if I would be a fool if I did not keep an eye out for one of those.

I think they are underrated amps and a bargain if you're looking for vintage sounds, from Fender-clean, tweedsounds to (hotrodded) plexisounds.

I like the demo very much. If I were looking for a new amp, this is a direction I think I would look at.

Cool amp, if it sounds half as good as it looks you have a winner!

It sounds better than it looks  :grin: No really, I can't understand why they stopped the production. They have a place beside the Tubemeisters.
