    @jexby is as finicky with his gear as I am with mine; this will be in excellent shape.

    GLWS!

    Well shit my shorts with the Aficionado apparently out of stock at EC right now this looks like a proper steal. Would part ways with the one non-essential organ because I'm curious how this plays with my gear, but I was explicitly told to keep em :p

    Good luck!

    This is the part where I joke about it being father's day on my end and, having no kids yet, I'm holding on to certain things on the off chance parenthood suits me.

    If it helps the sale, I'll agree to touch the amp for a small fee

    With what part of your body? There are some parts I might pay to have you not touch the amp with!

    I presume this would be the "TOTL tube option".

    Hey somebody buy this thing already.

    I'm sure we can start a @brencho joke thread somewhere else.

    I'm not exactly sure what's so funny about his various body parts anyway.

    Of course I haven't seen any of his body parts...

    (How quickly these things slide into the gutter)

    Yes what a great disservice to jexby that filthy animal to keep his thread active and visible for so long. We really should cut it out and let it vanish from the recent activity list. That will definitely get it sold.

    Can't believe I'm siding with brencho on something other than Nick Cage being cool but here I am :p

    The chatter is definitely off topic but it does help keep the thread visible. More fun than seeing "bump" again and again anyway.

    I was going for the "somebody buy this thing already" part of my post.

    Sorry I continued to use your body parts for cheap humor.

    And to bump the thread.

    Like I'm doing now.

    :D

    folks should check out first posting again for updated Af pictures, including the feedback mod switch to enable/disable feedback in the circuit.
    also, the price came down slightly despite putting a couple hundred $ into the mod install, etc.

    house could use the $ towards projects, so buy the Af here with confidence. :D
