That's in real nice physical shape. Hope you like it!

That's a fine looking beast there.

Thanks, Dave - it is cleaning up nicely, and appears to be no worse for wear, despite UPS's efforts on the trip over to me... It's also 100% functional, except the main power switch being stuck "On", and the fuseholder being a bit sketchy - I have parts on the way from Mesa, and the changeouts will be pretty easy...

It sounds really good, and has alot of tonal variation available - I'm looking forward to hearing it in a band mix..

Can't go wrong with a 2x15!

Yeah, it moves alot of air and sounds much clearer than the older Diesel 215s - better highs and lows, actually... I also have a pair of PH115s that have proven to be quite handy in a band trailer:

Being able to use one or both, depending on the setting has been quite convenient for the modern country gig...
