That's pretty cool. However, they don't seem to be selling very well and I wonder why? There's two people selling them on EBAY for the same price as Musician's Friend and they are giving the shipping for free. No one has bought any of these amps. This is at $595. What does a Night Train go for?

I can't wait for Josh to get the tubes so he can start to dial the ole 122 in. He went from having a few tubes to having a shitload. He's got a lot of new production tubes and some of them don't sound bad, but the NOS tubes handle higher plate voltage and I think they have much better definition when it comes to articulation and tone.

Hurry up, we're waiting on you Josh!

I know, I know. Come on Josh...he he. I've heard good clips of the Rebel. The reviews on it are really mixed though. Too much talk of it sounding thin. I had thought about getting one too. I don't know. From the clips I heard it sounded decent enough. It definitely offers more than others.

The Night Train is $500 shipped from online stores. Shameless plug for proguitars.com where I got mine. Check out the RM20 by Randall and the Laney LC15R 1X10(has speaker outs). Little more expensive but have a good following and good clips too.
