Sunn in my hometown

[Denis]

Get it, Mike! That's a real deal!

I couldn't agree more . They used larger watts in the 200s model.

Everyone tells me that my 200S is only 60 watts.

Not every situation calls for more power, this amp will cover recordings, playing at home , and probably
smaller gigs and band rehearals (if it's not a loud rock band).

Yeah, I know (it was mostly a tease).  My main rig is a 50-60 watt EL34 amp running into a single 15 so similar enough in terms of volume.  It's easily enough for practice or recording.  Never played a small enough gig (that was a full band, nevermind hard rock) where it had enough power to keep it as clean as I would have ideally liked.  Always had to push it more than I wanted, but once I did it had enough juice and cutting power (and it is not a hi gain amp - its one of them PA/vocal heads with a 4 channel mixer so designed to be a bit cleaner).

In addition to the nature of my amp, I'd suspect from the commentary so far(ballsy etc), and my experience with other Sunn models , that this one would be much dirtier than mine (also I have a master volume so that helps too) so if someone wants to play gigs through this rig, as is, in a band situation, your tone will include significant amp overdrive, which is not a bad thing, just not always the right thing. ... or go the mc2NY route (dude, very nice). ... or lower stage volume and put more bass in the monitors (which I do not recommend on principle but to each his own).

I freely admit that if I had that system, even though I love my Genz stuff, I would rock it! That's just lovely.

[Dave W]

It was certainly loud enough for club work back in its day. Then again, typical gig volume levels in a club weren't as high as today.

[Granny Gremlin]

Exactly.  An awesome rig for the right person.  And certainly a good looking one.

I've had my car keys in my hand since this thread was started - what a beauty!

There are a lot of vintage pieces that I really love, particularly old Sunn stuff, but I wouldn't trade my Genz for anything. The more I play my Shuttle 6.0, the more I love it. The sound, the definition, the weight, I just plain love it . I don't think I've ever been so satisfied with an amp.

I actually agree.  That's why I would rock it IF I had it...but I wouldn't spend the money on it, even though it's very cool.

Got it! Thanks for your input, ya'll.  I'll put up the family photo when I get a chance.  Thing is super clean, and sounds super great!

[Dave W]

Great! 

You won't be disappointed.
