I looked hard at the GA-5 last month when Sweetwater lowered them to $ 399.

The comments about them at this forum (two threads) were not very favorable; I think a lot of people were still disgusted that Gibson had marketed them at $ 699, which is silly high. Harmony Central is as cautionary in summary about them as Musician's Friend buyers/reviewers are totally gushing.

I just 'wasted' my MF discount coupon on some small change items, knowing it'd be worthless after next week. #@#@&!

This amp basically does one thing. Question is, is this thing your thing?

Maybe a whole GA-5 mod craze could happen; it seems like a good place to start.
