Does anyone have one they are trying to sell ? Or know someone who may have one for sale ? Ive been wanting to get my hands on one for awhile.

My reasoning, in case relevant to your situation, was that I really couldn't hear a significant difference between the FYD preamp and my SMS Classic Pre ... with one major difference: the tube driven real spring reverb on the FYD unit was a huge upgrade over the SMS's digital reverb. But in the end, the SMS's smaller size and lower weight won the day. Noodling at home, the FYD's superior reverb was extremely noticeable. On stage or jamming at ensemble volume with others, much less so.
This was just my take. YMMV. In any event, best of luck in your search.
And it's far more than a Jerry tone amp, only. With the tweed switch engaged, it runs the gamut from Fender tweed to legit Marshally. And the dedicated tone control in tweed mode allows dialing in from dark crunch to Vox glassy. This being said, even 45 pounds is more than I prefer to cart around these days so I could see myself parting with the combo, too, sometime in the future.
