Jakeboy Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 If I didn’t have the VAC25 enroute I’d be mighty interested...
Menehune Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Alright, how good is this amp really? Can I get sounds impossible to get from any Mesa, Suhr, or PRS amp? Or from a Legend Rock N' Roll 50? (still gotta repair the tube heater transformer of that one)?

Or from a Legend Rock N' Roll 50? (still gotta repair the tube heater transformer of that one)? Here is my opinion. Handmade one at a time, by guys that are doing it for the love of it, and not all about the $. I have had a "Superchamp", Blues Jr, Fuchs, East, Budda, Dr Z's and countless other apart and on the table. The 3 Monkeys are second to none in build quality and worth every penny. The two that I listed are great prices, but also these amps need to be ran hard to sound their best. I struggled with the OJR, until our first rehearsal with it. It sounded amazing in the mix with the whole band, then when we got to the gig and stuck a mic in front of it, it sounded amazing. Unfortunately having issues internally in the band, I had to go with a bigger amp because I could not boost my lead enough to satisfy the other guitarist/PA owner. The OJR is great with the bass lift. You can play Tele or a strat with the lift off and pick up a Les Paul and "Lift the Bass" which removed all the woof you would get from the extra mass of the guitar and hotter pickups. I never had to touch a knob during a gig and could use what ever I wanted. If you have all the amps that you mentioned, then maybe you don't need another amp.

Thanks for that, Bubs. Funny man, "maybe you don't need another amp." Of *course* I need another amp. My hyperbole was really asking "how special is the sound of a 3 Monkeys amp?", knowing readers are likely to have experience across a broad range of guitar amplifiers.

bubs_42 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Posted August 27, 2020 They look like they are both gone. @gtrdaddy was this ORJ the one you had?
