    I'd love to give it a listen... I continue to see references to BHA-1 here, so it would be nice to be able to understand how it sounds for triangulation purposes.

    I’m also interested, located in SF Bay Area. Thanks for loaning out your personal gear!

    I live right next to @loadexfa so if I don’t have another amp by then I’d be up for checking it out. We usually do drop offs so it probably wouldn’t get shipped.

    sf Bay Area

    if I get my end game amp in before then I won’t have space for it unfortunately.

    So I am pretty unsure how this works, but am I supposed to ship the BHA-1 to the closest person and they ship it to the person closest to them, and so on? Or should I follow the rule of first come first serve?

    Also, quick update:
    I will be leaving May 12th now instead of the 15th so I will close this earlier than what I was going to before.

    make a list of members at the end of the first post in this thread and call them out with the “@“ sign before their name. It would be best for your amp to organize it so the amp isn’t zig zagging back and forth across the country. So create a little road trip for your amp with the locations of members in the tour. Like you would want to put me and loadexfa next to each other because we are so close. Move west to east or east to west. Usually this is done as people sign up so there’s an official list that gets updated but no problem you can do it now. Like this:

    List
    @loadexfa (Bay Area, CA)
    @rhythmdevils (Bay Area, CA)
    @
    @
    @
    @

    (it doesn’t have to start with us though that would be cool because it would make it more likely I could hear it :p but I’m just giving you an example of what it’ll look like.)

    basically all you have to do is ship it to the first member on the list and it’s pretty hands off after that, the members just check the list and pm the next member in line for their address and ship it. I haven’t monitored any of my loaners (but you can if you’re worried). If there is a problem someone will call you out with an @Accrued or send you a pm.

    And if you’re not going to be home when the tour ends you might want to choose a special person to be at the end of the list who holds on to the amp until you get back.

    Alright, seems to me like I would go east coast to west coast and then keep it with you if necessary. if not, I can just ship it to a friend in Atlanta. Again, I would like to keep the shipping costs to a minimum so it would make sense to keep it from zigzagging. I will work on the list when I have some free time to come up with the road map.

    I probably won’t have space for it at the end of the tour so wouldn’t be able to participate but @loadexfa is very trustworthy and responsible. We’ve traded a lot of gear. I’d loan him anything without hesitation.

    If you go West to East, @YMO is also a solid trustworthy guy and well respected here and would be a safe person to hold into it as long as he wanted to. I assume he would.

    @rhythmdevils While I do think the BHA-1 is a fine amp, no need to put me on the loaner. Thanks though!

    I’m fine to hold on to it if I end up at the end of the tour.

    I would like to ask to be considered. If I have not been here long enough I understand. I could make some interesting amp comparisons. Located in NYC.

    If not understand....

    Thanks

    Ok, So I will be closing this now and Gonna go with the following:
    @bilboda (FL)
    @zonto (Boston, MA)
    @dasman66 (Pennsylvania)
    @Phantaminum (TX)
    @famish99 (TX)
    @Azimuth (Nashville, TN)
    @loadexfa (Bay Area, CA)
    @rhythmdevils (Bay Area, CA)
    @PTS

    This gives each person around a week to fiddle around with it. So basically what I want to do is start a "timer" as soon as it arrives at YMO's house and split the time between every member. Please DM me your information YMO, I won't be shipping now, but will prepare everything I need :)

    Also, can y'all DM me when the BHA-1 moves from one person to another (Post it here too if possible :) )? It makes it easier for me to check the progress.

    Don't forget it tends to lose roughly 3-4 days in transit between each member on average.
