loud >louder >loudest
« on: June 25, 2010, 12:33:09 PM »
A guy on a Dutch forum posted this monster: a 1000 watt tube amp

Look at all those tubes!
Look at the huge transformers!




It's a Champ CBA 20807 - 1000. A British Amp.
Look at more pics and details here

I may be interested if there's a combo version.
