Oh no Map... I still have the 320, but now I use it as a 320, and not a power amp. I have no desire to sell it, but now I can use it for all of its actual tonal glory. I'm looking forward to running stereo going MS-> Peavey & Clean -> 320.

Sam Adams: In the few moments that I played with it I felt like it had significantly more clean headroom on 1 120 watt channel than my 100 Watt V4-B. I would assume the weight puts people off, especially with so many lower weight power amps out there... Once I rack this thing, it'll be close to 80 lbs= 4 space rack + furman + amp. They're super affordable I got mine for $335 shipped! They also made a 100/100, 60/60, and 30/30 that I know of and single channel mono variants.

I was planning on using it with my 330. But then I came across a good deal on a lightweight ss poweramp. So now im going to make this into a lighter weight rig.

I had a 50/50 one in a guitar rig a number of years ago I bought for like $200. 100w of EL84 power is not something you see every day, but it sure sounds neat.

There's a club above that shop in the picture? I always wanted to get up to that part of the country and check it out.

Ben's shop is in the alley below two clubs, The High Dive and The White Rabbit. Both clubs have load-ins that are kind of a bitch. Their stairways are just next to the Verellen shop...

And Fremont where he's located is one of Seattle's funkiest neighborhoods - here's a few of the funkier things just within a few blocks of Ben's shop:

Around the corner is the "Fremont Rocket"

Across the street - have no idea how this got there - an authentic Lenin statue from the fall of the USSR:

And a few blocks away under the Fremont Bridge: The Fremont Troll

That is too cool thanks for the pictures and I bet those stairs are long and narrow?

These were the stairs to The White Rabbit. Funny, the sound man was bitching that he had to work that night. He wanted to be at Helms Alee's Show (Ben's Band) across town. The stairs to The High Dive are just as bad.

Here's some pedal porn from the gig that night:

*Hey, when you've a 6:00 soundcheck for a 9:00 downbeat there's a lot of time on your hands. :rolleyes: Here's a shot from the back of the clubs looking toward the Verellen Shop. His sign is just past the dumpster on the right. And illuminated by the Gods of Tone Mojo apparently. :D

When we left this really cool ensemble was playing outside across the street, under the Lenin Statue.

Cool pics thanks those steps look wicked that whole scene looks like a blast is it true about all of the rain?

YES! :hiding:

That's what we tell the rest of the world to keep people out :spit:

In all seriousness, no. Average rainfall per year is almost exactly the same as where I lived in North Carolina. During the summer time it can go weeks without a single cloud in the sky.... or it can be cold, dreary and drizzle all day everyday. But that's usually just during October - April. May - September is generally perfect weather.
