Looking forward to your pix and review(s)!
 
As an aside and just for sh*ts and giggles:
 
FWIW, The two guitarists for Donald Fagen's (Steely Dan) '06 tour, John Herrington and Wayne Krantz, were using Guytron and Bogner half stacks, respectively, and they both sounded great. The show was 3/1/06. I'd never heard of Guytron before, but both amps appeared to be Marshall-style, the Guytron being closer to the standard JCM-800 layout than the Bogner. Wayne had two different Bogner heads...one as a back-up...the main one was a channel switcher that he was constantly changing with a foot controller. Since I was in the front row (center), I got the 'Direct' stage sound as well as the PA sound. Both players has 2X12 cabs that sounded huge, even as back-line stand-alones. The sound crew used two studio-type mikes on each...one looked like a Neumann or Beyer condenser mike, the other looked like a tube- type vocal mike with the suspension. They were placed directly up against the cabs grille cloths at the drivers. While they both had pretty substantial pedalboards (and they used them fully and often...lots of footwork going on, LOL!), both amps got pristine clean jazz tones as well as good dirty tones. I have no idea what part of the dirt (if any) was attributable to the pedal board (all discrete individual stompboxes...no Pete Cornish or Bob Bradshaw stuff here, LOL!) and what part to the amps. All I know is they sounded good...and those guys can play whatever they want.
 
Anybody have experience with either amps or can anybody illucidate further into the aforementioned gentlemen's guitar rigs? Inquiring minds wanna know! LOL!
 
Cheers,

Any feedback from you very experienced guitar slingers regarding the CyberTwins or the EVH combo from Peavey?  Certainly not boutique, but any experience with these two?  Guitarist friend thinks he's GOT to have one or the other.

Unlike when I first started playing and you had a choice of 2-3 guitar amps (there were always more than that, but if it wasn't a high-line Fender or Marshall you got no respect, LOL!), the choice today boggles the mind. Besides the 100's of mass-market amps out there, you have dozens of boutique builders all competing for your hard-earned dosh.  
 
BTW, Joey:
 
I don't mean to make you jealous, but my little brother just got a (red) KLR-650. Now I'm trying to get him to take the MSF course.

bigredbass, I owned a Cybertwin for about a year, but traded it in for a 65 Twin. Cybertwin = no tubes = no tone. Okay, it has a small preamp tube, but still no tone.

Most of the modeling stuff out there today is long on features, variety and bells/whistles, but short on tone, IMHO.
 
As I've said before, ad naseum, Just as good as seldom is, LOL!

I recently saw some friends playing, guitarist was using a cyber deluxe. They were doing Genesis, Yes, King Crimsom, Tull. He was nailing the tones from those bands.

I have a Vox Valvetronix that sounds pretty good (not as good as my Mesa) and has a lot of nice models (Fender, Dumble, Soldano, Mesa, Vox) and effects. Since I picked up the Lonestar I don't really use the Vox anymore. If anyone is interested in a decent little modeling amp, make me an offer.

Once had a Line 6 Vetta II and it was god awful. for such an expensive amp, it wasnt worth the gum underneath a desk. It was cool in the fact that it was midi capable and had 128 channels,you can set a million different ways, but talk about no tone. thats when i bought my mesa thats less than half the price and more than 100 times the tone, not to mention 10 times less power and seemed to have more presence, cut, and out and out balls. Immagine a 4x10 35 watt class a tube amp, against a 300 watt half stack, and the smaller winning, its kind of sad. if its too good to be true, it probably is, unless of course your using an ALEMBIC!

 
 
Came in friday afternoon, and i played a gig with it last night. theres not a bad tone in the thing! I could easily say that i have heard nothing as good as this amp be it live or recorded. Its super loud but has a level controll on the back that does an awsome job. its pretty amasing what this beast can do. You can turn the bass and mids all the way down and crank the treble and flip the bright switch, max the presence and it still dosnt sound bad. its amasing. i dont think i will buy another amp for a long while, this thing does it all, the only other is either another TR or a Dumble, or a Trainwreck/Komet. Nothing else comes close. just utterly amasing. Im still waiting for the cab, but my 4x10s sound better than ever, and super loud! Soon to have 5 Telefunkens or RCA's in the preamp, and some Philips JAN NOS 6L6WGB's in the Poweramp. Im considering lowering the gain in the preamp and putting 12AU7's instead of 12AX7's. This amp goes from pure blackface to hyper funk clean, to stringy SRV, to Robben and Carlton, to all and out Heavy METAL! its amasing ive never seen such a chameleon. It is THE AMP!

So I guess you like it then?  
 
Congrats!

Congrats, Pat! That's a real sweet piece. You're getting a TR cab? What driver config? What are you using for now (i.e., 4x10's)?
 
Cheers,
