New Amp/Cab Day

[imijjj]

I recently sold a good bit of gear in the hopes of buying a new head and cabinet. For the last few months I've had a Hovercraft Dwarvenaut with nothing to play it through and a Reverend Hellhound 1x12 combo. Craigslist finally paid off this week, and this is the result:

I paid $1500 for the RV50 MK II. It's in mint condition, and the previous owner said he barely played it before his band broke up and he needed to downsize.

As far as the cabinets, they are Matamp with Celestion Hot 100's (The previous owner ordered them with special tolex and minus the badges). I was only looking for one, but the guy who put them on craigslist would only sell them as a pair, and it was a good deal ($900 total). Plus, now I can crack my house's foundation with stereo DOOM (TM).

Thanks for reading!

ZESTY!

$1500 seems a bit high for a second hand RV50 TBH. But if you love it! who cares!

[imijjj]

Maybe. It was cheaper than the other ones I've seen around here, and it's basically brand new. I dig it either way

Excellent on the new Rv50

What exactly is the Hovercraft amp? Totally unfamiliar with that.

Small company in the Northwest. The guy takes old damaged/abused Jet City amps and redoes them. I think the idea is to get close to an old SUNN/Orange/Matamp sound, but I've never played any of those older models so I can't really say if it does or not. It has a ton of bass and is aimed at the Doom/Stoner crowd. It's a cool amp.

That's a ridiculously sexy setup. You should feel ashamed for making me feel so inadequate.

That's certainly a nice rig you got there.
