Yes! And now im hunting for the even more rare VB-MA. Noone seems to have one to sell though.

Love my VB-3. John Fields (one of the original engineers of the amp) and I sleuthed for about a month and we fixed the noisy XLR DI out. Turns out it was a 5 min fix.

Really want the VB-MA for the blend knob, and the Peavey history really. Looks like Ill be waiting a long time before another decides to show up for sale sadly.

You’ll find one eventually, I have seen them on the used market from time to time. Believe it or not, Guitar Center is a surprising source for rate gear LOL.
I bought my last VB-3’s from there.

A friend used to have a SUNN 2000s cabinet that someone defaced by stencilling "J H Exp" all over it.

Amazing cab. Air from the port would blow out a lit match.

I always wanted one, settled for a 200s.

First Led Zeppelin tour opening for the Who I saw both JPJ and Entwistle use four of those Ric 2x15 cabs with Hiwatt heads each. They appeared to have JBLs.

I wish they still made rack tuners. I think there’s still a place for them. A high quality tuner with a really clean pass through. Foot switchable. Silent when engaged. Doesn’t even have to be a full rack. Half rack would be fine. Doesn’t have to be a fancy display. I just need to be able to see it in the dark. And the manufacturer should throw in a 1’ high quality cable. Runs on some kind of lithium battery that I can charge through USB with mega hours of standby time. (I don’t want more things to have to plug in)
Is it just me?

I'll bet you could have one built.
Hey. It's a world full of parts...

I like that idea. It never occurred to me. Hmmm. Thanks…

I've got a power supply for my little board a guy built for me using an old router case. It's as big as a bus, relatively speaking, lol, but it's just fun for what it is.
DIY is cool- you can get just what you need, no one else has it, and you're not buying a yacht for some corporate shareholder (the best part!) :D.
Some fun rigs here! And some definite insanity... When I get the 810 with new Jensens this weekend I'll get my Tubezilla on top of it and snap a pic...
