Well Dudes after Wanting & Waiting a very looooong time I FINALLY got very lucky & Scored a Ampeg VH140C! Let me tell you this Amp is EVERYTHING I Heard/Saw & Thought it was. The Gain alone on this Amp is I-N-S-A-N-E even on 4-5 it sounds KILLER! NO Pedals needed to Boost this Bad Boy! At least not yet anyway! ;D (LOL) The Clean Channel is also KILLER & throw in the Chorus (Which by the way sounds Incredible!) with it & BOOM! This Amp is Unreal! LONG LIVE THE M-E-T-A-L! \m/  :metal:

Yeah Dante "THUNDEROUS" is the right word for this Amp for sure Dude! I can't believe how BAD-ASS this Head really is right out of the Box! After all of the Reading & the Videos Etc I have seen over the years it is Frigging Crazy! No wonder bands like Suffocation/Dying Fetus Etc have used it. It truly is a B-E-A-S-T!  :metal:

Hey Steve, you'll be able to open a music store soon LOL, when are you going to get a stereo power amp dude ?  With your 3TM I recon it will be better than the Ampeg (and you'll be having the wet dream  :thumb-up: ) or just use the effects returns on (2 of) the amps you have.

LOL! Hey Rich how ya doing Buddy? Hope all is well. Your right I almost will be able to open up my own Store soon! Nah to tell you the truth I am ALWAYS on the lookout for some good Deals & Trades Etc. I just do a Major amount of very "Intense" Searching/Looking Etc & sometimes it pays off! As far as a Stereo Power Amp I was going to get one but the Ampeg came up first! Oh I don't have a 3TM I have a 3.666 "Recto" Modded MP-1 (Which I really like) ;D. I just sold my (MOD4-MKII & like I posted in my ad I was hoping to Trade it for a VH140C. I have been wanting one for a looooong time!) & by PURE LUCK I found this one & got a KILLER Deal on it that I just couldn't pass up! The guy that owned it was Super Cool to deal with. Honestly all of the "Hype" that I have read about & all of the Videos I have seen were definitely ALL TRUE about this Amp.....It is one KILLER BRUTAL MACHINE!!  :metal:

**By the way...Since you are very knowledgeable about Gear I will be sending you a E-Mail.....I have a few questions about the Ampeg for ya (If you don't mind helping me out a bit?) Thanks again Rich! :dunno:  :thumb-up:**

Hey man Thanks for looking out! Yeah that seems like a really good deal on that Carvin. If I had not got such a Killer deal on my Ampeg (which I have been looking for & wanting for a very long time I may have jumped on it) I was on the lookout for one but I could not pass this Ampeg up! Thanks again Dude...I appreciate it!  :metal:
