as always- the puny wares get trashed while vintage, falling apart Twin Reverbs get countless accolades...
anyway, the Champion 600 in its original incarnation looks like this:

I understand Guitar 77 is listed on the Suhr site as a dealer so maybe they will bring this amp into Singapore.
The 240v versions of the Suhr Badger, launched recently at NAMM should be available within the next 2 months.
The amp has a different solution to power attenuation.
From the Suhr site:
The Power Scaling feature, licensed from London Power, lowers the wattage to the power amp, allowing the power tubes to clip. The tubes run cooler and aren't running as hard compared to using the speaker load while still retaining the interaction of the tubes and speaker(s). This proprietary technology allows the output power of an audio amplifier to be dialed down from 100% to less than 1%. This requires a modification to the amplifier's power supply.
Unlike external attenuators or load boxes, which interfere with the amp-speaker interface, Power Scaling does not alter that relationship between the output tubes and the speakers. Tube life will be greatly enhanced by the Power Scale circuit as well. What you get is improved transparency, less squash, more natural and pleasing compression, and the sound of the power tubes working hard. Add the tube-buffered effects loop with a fixed level send for use with both instrument-level pedals and line-level rack effects and you've got one very versatile tone machine ready for a variety of environments and musical situations.
Here are video clips of the Badger in action:

i'm bothered by decaying, trailing notes, that's why. when i stop playing, there shouldn't be any notes left behind, everything should stop- psychological this one... i can only tolerate reverb because it adds depth to tone. i'm the direct opposite of Van Halen.
we should be wary of tube-equipped pedals, this isn't a tube amp equivalent, yes there's tonal diff et al but it's not a substitute. ironically, the most tube-sounding pedal i admire is MI Audio's Tube Zone & there's zilch tube in there.

that's true my friend, black metal patronizes no delay effectively...

heh, jsut wondering, how can an aspiring black metal geetarist stands out from his/her counterpart other than playing faster/slower, singing more evil/darker/brighter, writing more sadder/majastic poem, than the usual black metal player in order to have that unique characteristic that other metal hitam player dont have?
