Return of Sunn?

[Kindness]

The amp isn't 150 lbs.

The 200S is available to purchase on the site now. https://www.sunnamps.com/200s/

I'm confused the link to the Sunn site shows a 200S head but the specs make it out like it's a combo!!!!

 

[gwangi]

That's almost as much as an AD200...
Looks like the Beta Combo is going to be about $1800.

So Sunn is going to make a Beta Bass Combo?

Seems to be on the website.

Oh it is, I saw the Beta Lead Combo but I didn't see the Beta Bass!!!!

Each channel is switchable to Lead or Bass. Pretty badass, and a hell of a lot more reasonably priced than the big bois

200W? Interesting decision.

 

[gwangi]

I guess when I heard combo I assumed amp/speaker combination not guitar/bass amp combination.

Beta Bass- class D power amp 200w and 26 pounds.....

WTH.

Who are they marketing to?

*edit*
Found the link and price

What's the price? Do you have a web link? Guessing they havn't showcased it yet for my timezone.

Interested in this for guitar. Was hoping for a release of this year ever since they previewed it a while ago on their blog.

Was kinda hoping for a different shell color instead of Focusrite-red

Myself, I don't think I wouldn’t want that nonsense able to be louder than the 200 watts would provide. Said the old man yelling clouds

$250 for a footswitch? Really?

I think its great the Sunn name is making a comeback, but their pricing seems excessive

Dammit I could’ve made some money selling my “Vintage Original” Sunn footswitch.

People that want a Beta Bass...

Most of the weight is in that wooden case it comes in.

Fair enough.

I wonder if they want the 200w 2x15 for well over two grand.....

Seems a SUPER niche market.

Niche, yes, but big (and rabid) enough to support a small company (so far). Their prices have gone up a lot. The 2x15 was way less than that when it debuted.

FWIW, I ordered a Mini Beta for $450. The classic stuff is/was funding new stuff, which has been their plan from the beginning.

Don't joke, I still have mine!

My rig of separate Sunn pre-amp/power amp that was pre-Beta but the same thing before they used that name, had gone belly up a couple of times. The third time I junked the whole mess as I had moved on to QSC power and I believe a BBE BMAX pre-amp. I say believe because I went through a few at that time and don't remember which was first.

Anyway it all went to Goodwill.

And that's how Sunn got popular in the stoner/doom scene

It's all your fault, Bebop
