| How many players are using this great amp. I know they are no longer in production, which is a bummer. I purchased one of these amps and an extension speaker cabinet from Ken. I love the tube sound and the light weight. I know they were a bit pricey, but well worth the money. Just curious if anyone is still using this amp. |

| One here (along with the Fox reverb unit) and could not agree more with your assesments of this fine amp. |

It's my main gigging amp now. I gig with it about 2x a week. I play PSG, lap steel and mandolin thru it. Love it.

| Something like that Fox amp, which will sound as good 40 years down the line as it does today, is a worthy investment, and in the long run a bargain. If I didn't have a boy in college, I'd be picking up one of the last of his Bassman clones. |

I have the #3 amp. I love this amp built by Ken. I have several other other steel amps but the Fox keeps them in storage! Play steel, guitar, synth and mado. They all sound great.

I have both of Ken's amps, the twin and the bassman, and his reverb unit. All three are top notch. I have the 2x12 version of the twin with the Jensen Neo Speakers. Have had it for over 2 years and sounds great.

I'm curious about what settings everyone is using. I've been running mostly with the Bright input. It seems to cut thru better with the loud band I play in.
