Several people have asked about the Fusion amp and since I have been using it now for a few months, I thought I'd post a cool way a friend designed to mount it to my steel as well as some short clips where you can 'kinda' hear the steel...

The second cut uses the E Bow mostly....
You can see the various processors and all into a 15 inch 8 ohm Sica speaker in an open back cab. The amp puts out 350W into 8Ohms and the speaker can use up to 350W, so it seems like a good match and allows the addition of a second speaker if needed.

Gerry,
Thinking about the Fussion myself..
Did you ever do a comparison to the MB 200? Wondering if the tubes make a noticeable difference..
Also, what kind od amp were you using prior?

Hi Jack...Never tried the non tubed versions but I like the idea and sound of tube amps, so I was drawn to the Fusion...you can crank up the pre section and cut the master and even get a usable overdrive distortion sound or set the second channel to distortion and keep channel one clean. I have several 'systems' depending on the band and venue: an 80's Princton; a Nash 112; a stereo Mesa boogie 2020 with the Telonic pre (also a cool sound); and a Pod pro w/ stereo solid state power amp(mostly for practice)
