TecAmp Raptor Experience

[Hidesert]

Hey guys, anyone have any experience or opinions regarding the TecAmp Raptor head. I know that they are SVT inspired (if not a more modern German clone), were made in a limited number (reportedly 25), weigh half a ton as opposed to an SVT weighing a ton, and are covered with a cool brown alligator wrap.
They listed for $4700
Reliabilty? Sound? Serviceability?
Thanks!!!

Anyone…?

That's a pretty specific, likely rare amplifier. Probably not many people would have that. Now if it were...say...one of the many little 5lb black boxes everyone is fond of...

You are definitely right. But, if there was anywhere on the planet where one might find someone that owned or played through one, it'd be TalkBass…well, maybe SprechtBsss!

I love the Break switch so the amp knows you're going to be leaving for a while.
