Did you already sell the 900 and the 20?

The 20w yes. The others are still here lol
I doubt I'll keep all of them though. Maybe 3, probably 2. And the DSL is definitely one of them.
It is a lot of work to do things this way. I'd much rather go into a store with all these amps in stock and an isolated amp room so I could crank them up and make a decision but that no longer exists in 2023.
So the way to do it now is buy them all and sort them out.
It's a compelling argument to go with modeling but then I remember they sound like shit, so let's buy them heads.

Yeah, it's the best way for deciding what you like, I think, because you can try everything within your own environments and rig.
I am guessing the DSL and 1987x will stay.

Optimism talking about June.
Bill's gonna play all these amps this week, and Saturday he's gonna take the 2 he's not keeping to Atomic and come home with something else to play with for a few days.

It's like you rescue these amps from the wild, give them a magic Billy kiss, then release the beasts so fellow citizens of these United States can rock in glory.

Speaking of JCMs and beautiful birds of prey, Billy you should kick out some new Owl Force One tracks.

I know!!! I've self-conscious about singing since I met my wife because she's so good at it

But yeah I miss playing that music.

Will you be buying the Bluguitar Amp-X, just for comparative purposes? It’s like modeling, except not the drizzling shits, as you well know.

Maybe. The price is a little too high. I do like the Bluguitar stuff though and I like how he's taking his time working on getting it right so I have no doubt it will be a quality product.

Can we all petition the Swedes to drum up a Marshall endorsement/sponsorship for Billy? I think he deserves it more than most

I don't see any pics of said 800
