My biggest regret

I can honestly say that hands down this is the best amp I have ever played -ever. I am such a tool for ever selling this amp and I would buy one again as soon as I have the money. It didn't have 'verb which was a bit of a kicker for a 2k amp and my goodness it is loud. I bought one cause Benji Madden had one.

"So here is the “Rig” I have spent 37 years building up to!

· Paul Reed Smith 513 Electric

· 2 Soldano Decatone Heads, one feeding one or two 2 X 12" Marshall Vintage Cabs and the other feeding two 1 X 12” Marshall mini-cabs as “front” monitors. From the send of one amp I route through a simple reverb unit (Picoverb) and return to both amps a subtle background hall reverb." - Martin Barre.

"And then I bought a ’67 Mosrite 12-string. Lately, I’ve been getting into amplifiers. I found a nice ’65 Vox AC30 and an old HiWatt 100-watt head, an older Marshall MkII, and another trusty Soldano Decatone, which I use live and in the studio."
