Hopefully you know about the DB359 if you're looking at this. It is Aguilar's discountinued all tube Head.

Well, this is my favorite sounding head that I have owned up to date. I am now raising runds for something else in the same family as this so this is going. I LOVE THIS AMP but hopefully my next purchase will be my Holy Grail..... we'll see. If you are a traditional rock guy, then for this dough, I'd go for the Boogie 400+ or old SVT, but if you're like me and do a lot of versatile stuff, this is the tube amp for you. It is so articulate and sensitive, yet will have massive balls. For rock, if you get the gain to that verge of distortion, it sounds really musical. I like it because it REALLY exemplifies your touch. When I'm diggin in, there's nothing like it. It also has a surprisingly good slap tone when paired with the correct cabinet(s).

Alright enough about this. It comes with your choice of a Levy's deep rack bag, or Road Ready deep rack case. (RR2UD) You can of course purchase both cases at an additional charge. (not a bad idea)

Just really light rack rash, and no issues to date. It wasn't used very much and never went on tour.

There is a piece of foam underneath it in its current rack rag right now to prevent rack bending. There are also some spacers that were made to make sure that the fuse caps and plug aren't directly on the ground when the amp is on its back.

How does this sound with the DB410 you had? And how do these heads compare to say a recent V4B or Portaflex Fliptop head???

It sounded GREAT with my DB410! believe it or not, the slap sound was wicked out of it. As far as the V4B or SVT, it's a completely different animal. It is capable of High-Fi tones, whereas I don't see the ampegs as capable of it.

peace.

If you don't sell the rack bag with the amp, shoot me a pm. I've been wanting one of those.
