Because the only way I'd say "go ahead & sell the Pearl" is if you were still totally in love with the hayseed, since they are similar architectures (AC30 variants).
As for the Rebel, the concept sounds cool, but I haven't seen/heard I demo of it that I liked very much. |
Yeah, since getting the Hayseed I really haven't played the BP much at all. But it's nice to have a 2nd/backup amp that sounds almost as good as your main amp. I'm still thinking about it..... If it were a combo, Ida been all over it. From all the reviews, the tone is there...... but one thing that worries me is the build quality? My Genz Benz in built in Germany and the USA on a cirucit board. The tube sockets are not cheap like in some cheap tube amp and it's built like a tank, or a Mesa Boogie (which ever is tougher). The Rebel is made in China or Japan and I've read it has some cheaper parts (tube sockets and pots), but I can't confirm that.
BTW...... Have you heard that new Black Pearl clip on YouTube?
