The 20/20 was an awesome amp, but the EL84's weren't quite what I was looking for; so I sold it.
Over the past few weeks, I've been trying to figure out what power amp I can get. I want EL34's and class A capability. The Fryette 2/50/2 came to mind. I've heard great things.
But I also like the 6L6 sound too - especially for soloing. So Randall's RT2/50 came to mind, as it's got EL34's on one side and 6L6's on the other side. Unfortunatley, the Randall doesn't have class A. I was leaning toward the Randall though, not being happy about having to sacrifice that class A tone.
Was browsing the used Guitar Center pages last night and saw a Mesa 295 marked down to $319. It just so happens I got extra space available in my rack; so I snagged it. And shipping was only $50. :lol:
Now to find a tube preamp to complement this beast!
