A place to talk about the music of the Grateful Dead

Other than reverb, is there any reason to purchase one model over the other?That is my gigging (pre)amp exactly (since late 2005), minus the grillcloth tear on mine. As far as "AB763", iirc the model actually began with the AA568 circuit, and later was reverted back to BF for awhile- however, many of these amps have been BF-ized, as was mine before I bought it. The Vibrato Pedal jack with the grey cable coming off of it is where I took out the RCA jack, put in a 1/4"" jack, and tapped the post-reverb signal for my preamp out. Too bad there are no inside chassis shots...

I think the drip edge models bring a bit more than that.
A guy offered me $750 for mine... I'm guessing ~$750 is probably the median price on these, +/- ~$200.
I don't think $999 is totally out to lunch if that is an item you really want.
