Even Andy's newer ODH is good.....The full ODS tube preamp with a solid state power amp. In a very light and portable unit. If you name your favorite cabs, I MIGHT be able to comment. I have tried the D types with may different cabinet styles and speakers.

No. Piper broke up in the seventies. That is a Piper song, but no "Tommy Gunn" and no Hamer...

I thought his guitar playing was great. His first album came out when I was 17 or 18. I think.

I still keep thinking about picking up an ODS classic. The ODS II is a fantastic amp as well, but as I'm a "D-style" newbie, it seems better to go that way. They also are a lot more economically priced than the D-style amps from Amplified Nation, Two Rock, and others. I mean I could always snag an overtone special from ceriatone, but even they aren't cheap. I'd rather also get a Jersey amp. I just need to stay off reverb. Also gotta worry about whether my favorite cabinets will work well with it. I didn't stay off reverb. This is TEMPTING as hell. https://reverb.com/item/101268193-fuchs-tripledrive-supreme-blonde-made-in-usa-50-watt-d-style-ods-tds-tube-amplifier-head-w-original-footswitch

As good as he was, his stage moves were a bit.......different. YT videos of earlier shows - when he's not playing guitar - are cringe-worthy. Speaking of guitar, he was a lot better than given credit for.

I thought I could go digital and sold all my amps a few years ago and bought a Line 6 Power Cab Plus. It holds a lot of IRs and I thought it was the way to go. I discovered I like twisting real knobs and the sound of real amps in the room. But, I still use digital to record. And am planning to use my Tone King Imperial Tri Tuby Doobie for recording soon.

This popped up in my Reverb feed and seems extremely reasonable. With a more than tasty sunburst finish. No mention of a case, but I'm betting something useable could be negotiated.

I've been using computer based amp modeling programs since Amplitude came out in 2002. I've since upgraded the program and also added their Tonex version. I've also used Guitar Rig, Positive Grid Bias, and a few others. At the time I started my only "real" amp was a Peavy bass amp with a huge Peavey 18-10 bass cabinet. Not conducive to bedroom playing which is mainly what I was doing those days. I since gone back to "real" amps and pedals but still use the computer based stuff for recording. I bought a used Tech 21 amp from submariner (thanks again) and it covers so much ground that I mainly enjoy playing it these days. Will check out the Genome and see. Thanks.

Not the same guitar but is this them?

That looks really cool. My first amp was something similar but I can't remember exactly what it looked like. Did your guy remove the death cap? It looks like it still has the two prong plug.

Make that a LOT less money! And you could get even more if your two pedals were the new Clean Fusion Deluxe. Just add a power amp. Or get the CFD AMP version. You are right......I have gotten great traction with the original Ethos into a Mesa Blue Angel for many gigs in the past. But when you need TOOBS.......😉 Yes it does offer up a bit more than the ODS, which is more of a 1 1/2 channel amp (not completely different than an original Mesa Mark Series, where the cascading gain comes on top of the "clean" tone). Having separate tone stacks opens up the switching, and more so with the two buttons for bumping mids and gain on each channel.

Have not seen an R9 with top or back grain that matches this one. No idea how the seller settled on this price, BUT….. https://reverb.com/item/101546592-2001-gibson-historic-reissue-lp-r9-coa-custom-shop-aaaaa-monster-top

This amp, in my estimation, addresses all the operational shortcomings of the typical "D" style amp. Really cool. But I think two Ethos pedals in tandem might get close for a little less money. 😎

I think there's a story to that one that's been told here before...

I have had this amp for a while. I really like what Andy has done. Great improvements over the original ODS make it very versatile. Way overkill for little old me! I have made no secret about my like for the D type amps.... Anyway, it looks like my downsizing is accelerating a bit. I have a buyer and expect the sale will be completed quickly. If one has an interest in these, worth checking out. As you would expect, not exactly cheap. To say the least! But you can certainly spend more for amps in this range!

Besides being a brilliant debut, it is one of the greatest guitar duo albums ever.

Saw that thing for sale at the Dallas Guitar Show from Diablo guitars.

That made me laugh out loud. Every. Single. Time.

and then there's the ultimate

My fave band of the 2000s. Seen them too many times to mention, and got to converse with them on occasion. Talking to Justin and Dan together is as close as you'll ever get to talking to Cleese and Idle in their prime. Funny chaps indeed.

I’m pretty sure that was the beginnings of the video dance that got Billy dropped from his label.

the Univox U45 is still a super bargain imo, - when considering the low wattage older amps. My go-to recently has been the Silvertone 1331 (tweed champ ish) I bought just 2 years ago. It has such a great look, this one is a '56, I have no desire for a Fender Champ of any year since I got this. Brent at Solderhaus serviced it a short time ago, he said "it sounds awesome!"
