Members Viesczy Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 I swear the gods are TEMPTING me. So last week I decided to just get that 5150 III 50 watt knowing it was the right decision & ordered it from Arend, what comes today in the mail but the latest Musician's Friend catalog. What is listed for sale on page 15 for $599.99?! That Tweaker 88! Do I need yet another amp that'll get used as sparingly as all my others as my others, most likely being used only @ my GF's place? And there's that VC50 for sale too that I need, and lord knows I need the baby version of my VH100R that sits the bench! Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members esizer Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 I've heard the 88 has largely been a disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 Very interested. I don't have a GC near me, so I've never tried it, but the videos sound good, and the reviews are okay. I'm a big Egnater fan. Currently own a TOL100. Which is sweet. Had the tweaker 40 for a while. Sounded great clean, and had a biting crunch tone. The options were nice, but I found my settings and stuck with them. People expect a lot out of amps with these sort of features, which may be why the reviews are less than stellar. I also suspect they are biased cold from the factory to improve reliability. Most mass produced amps are shipped that way. The 40 didn't quite have the low enc oomph I was used to, until I got the volume pot up to 1'o clock. Too loud. That is the same with the 15, from what I've read. I may just order it and give it a shot. MF has a good return policy, if it turns out I don't like it.
