tell me about them. I used to not be the biggest fan of the fender sound, but I'm starting to warm up to it a bit, although some fenders sound down right sterile to my ears. how are these amps in particular

how are the prices on these? I'm looking for a smaller tube amp lately. I always like to find rarer, less common stuff.

Music Mans were one of the first hybrid amps to surface. Ive heard that there are some ALL tube ones but all of them that Ive been able to play have solid state preamps with a pair of 6CA7 (EL34) output section. My buddie across the way has one that also uses a 12ax7 phase inverter to drive the power tubes but the pre still uses transistors. Try one before you buy they deffinately arent for everyone.

No all tube-models. The ones that have a tube phase inverter are older, and more desirable.

 

The've got some really wierd things going on schematically, but they've got a pretty nice clean sound. Think twin reverb. Not my first choice of amp, but I'd take one over a lot of others.
