Behind Clapton in the Bill Murray picture.......a Matchless. Testing is over, and it was conclusive.

Sup, I have played with an Ampeg and yes they are stunning...

However I also have a old Fender Bassman 100 tube that is hard to beat for bass or guitar... and then there are the old Sunn tube amps... you owe it ot yourself to check them out.

Any of those go all the way to 11 ?

Only Eddie's go to 11. He would overdrive the amps after a little home grown rewire job...

Oh and yes I have seen the movie version of '11' too...

LOL!

True story: I used to work for a major Japanese electronics company many years ago. As part of my job they would send prototype equipment to us in the U.S. for testing. One of the amplifiers they sent had a unique feature that when you turned it all the way up the digital display (new back then) went from incremental numbers to "F.U." and then wouldn't go any higher. I'm guessing F.U. doesn't have the same connotation in Japanese... when asking the engineers about "F.U.", they replied it mean "FULL UP". There were jokes based on that one for a long time.

Friend had one of these, if I remember instead of reversing the tape, it reverese the cassette itself. Called the "dragon". I had a baby version of a later model, still have it somewhere.

The Dragon was the top of the line model until the 505 was introduced. The 202 and 303 were a bit more basic. Then the 505 was introduced after the Dragon.



Here is the high-end Nakamichi car deck from "back in the day"....Wish I had a nickle for each piece of Nakamichi we sold back then....
