Off Topic Blues Saraceno Amp

[tommydude]

If this has been posted already, I must have missed it.

I found this today by accident. I was just looking to price a regular Scorpion head......

If there are any Blues Saraceno fans out there, you know the tone he got out of the Dirty Boy amp.

Dirty Boy

Now, how to get the $3k by April 30th !?!?

 

[Dr. Lemonator]

Why is it so much!?!

 

[lenny]

Use one of these!

 

[MetroGnome]

You're not kidding!

If you haven't already, go to BluesSaraceno.com and link to the Dirty Boy pedals. Pure insanity in those little boxes.

Love that 25th Vid. - Blues is the man.... That vid made me buy my 25th.

Not sure why price is so high, I'm sure it took a long time to develop.

Man! What a pedalboard ?!?! Does it make margarita's too !?!?

 

[browndog]

Awesome board Lonney, Its worth more than my last car.

As for the amp... way to much $$$

i thought i had a lot of pedals... holy cow!!!

It's definitely a neat amp. Blues played it at the Desert bash the other year, got a chance to hear him crank it up close. Would adjust the amp as he was playing, sounds phenomenal.

I remember talking with Guy Hedrick (brilliant amp designer, of Guytron fame) about it- he helped Alex Saraceno get the power scaling working on the original design. Sounds pretty wild.

A lot of money, for sure. But a very unique amp.

I would LOVE to have that amp!

A tonal Chamelion at any volume, with all the adjustable feel

is worth every penny IMO. I ain't got the pennies right now, lol.

I wish they weren't putting the pressure on with the price increase,

but thats business. Does this thing have the 5 transformers or is that the

original design that does I wonder. Guytrons are amazing too. This amp really

Appeals to me more, despite the "dirty boy" moniker, lol.

 

[DrGonzo5150]

Wow... I'd love to play one just to see if i liked it.

In my experiences so far, I tend to prefer a more basic amp circuit and sound... But hey.. I'm all for outrageous/experimental stuff, pushing design boundaries etc. Can't wait to see and hear more.

I think that Hotrod has the sunburst finish. My favorite amp !

His father is building those amps. He's been asked too many times for serial production from different brands,but he refused them all.

Huh? The new ones are being made by Mojave, not by Alex Saraceno. His dad built the original ones (long ago).

I remember an interview from 4-5 years ago i think.

Didn't know that,thanks for the update man.
