 I figured if you would have.....eventually you might get one back.


yeah, but most of the ones i've seen don't have all of what mine has, i might have had to GASP, order new !!

Ha....yeah, new is a bad word for me....lol.....there are a few different models.....HD2 ect.....those have 4 tubes....not sure they make it anymore
 
As close as I can figure, mine is like maybe 7 years old.
 
You use to be able to buy the kits and build them yourself

Super 2 has more power and even lower output impedance.
It also uses EL84 output tubes so lots more options for tubes.
Sound is similar but it does have more power/gain if you need that...

Awesome... Something I've always wondered... is the Super 2, basically a low power EL84-Hammond 119DA coupled speaker amp (with common grounded outputs)?
