Dave M, did you get that little Deluxe from Scotty's by any chance? and did it have a "Black Grille Cloth on it when you got it? if it did..that was my old amp. I put the SRO in it...it was pletty loud for medium gigs.....

George, no - I bought that amp many years ago from a well-known player in Nashville. It had the original speaker in it, which has been tucked away for the last 14 or 15 years - I'd have blown it for sure. That amp was my main rig in blues and rockabillity bands for a long time. The SROs came from an old Kustom roll and tuck 2x12" amp that I picked up about 10 years ago. I did the switcheroo and sold the Kustom with some modern speakers in it.
I don't think there are many guitar gigs I couldn't cut with that Deluxe - perhaps a real loud outdoor gig with no amp mics. But I can't remember a loud gig indoors where I couldn't mic the amp. On the other hand, to get the clarity I want for steel, it can't be very loud, especially if I'm using the universal. I sometimes play with mic'd acoustic players, and it's a nice rig for that.

Jim, I wasn't arguing that someone wouldn't pay over two grand for the amp, but that for the same two grand, you could get something far more suitable for pedal steel work. If the price of something becomes inflated because someone famous used it, I just don't buy it.
Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, when someone buys the same gear a famous person used, thinking they will get that same "famous sound", they're rudely disappointed.
Barnum was right.

No argument, and the used prices of originals are silly. The new ones, however, are just a great hand-wired amp. You say they aren't comparably suitable for pedal steel to other things at the same price level - true enough if you want tons of headroom and rip-your-head-off treble. But there are some of us who don't play Nashville country who would find this amp to be much BETTER for psg. BTW, $2k is the list price - they go for quite a bit less, and you'll still have trouble matching that price in a new hand-wired tube amp.
