Does anyone have a link to a Music Man gear site ?
Anyone have an opinion on them as Jerry amps ?
Most models have Reverb ?

Most of the MM amps I've played use EL34 poweramp tubes. Very different from 6L6s.

I've known plenty of guys who can get JG tones with these type of amps, however....

I owned an RD112 and regret selling it. If I found another one, I would want to buy it. This was before I was so specifically going after Jerry tones, so I am not sure about that part of it. It did sing sweetly, though...

I have a HD 135.....4-10's....this amp is a cranking monster...as far as Jerry sound goes I am not versed enough to say....I am a rhythm player.....I love this amp....my claim to fame with it is that it is identical to what Johnny Winter uses and when he played our place he played my amp....it totally rocks...Hey its a Leo Fender amp...that should speak for itself....

Great vintage amps

ha ha !
Must be cool to own a club that has a guy of Winters Mojo !
yeah well I would love a Fender but keep running into the MM amps and wonder - could I be happy with a MM and save some bucks for myself ?
Thanks for the input !
