Tony Leach	Re: Have I lost my mind?! You know I went to a music store the other day and was playing thru one of the newer Marshall 2x12 combos (not sure which but it had lots of gain). I wasn't really impressed but it wasn't bad. I looked beside that amp and saw this funky green colored 2x12 amp and thought yea right. But I plugged in and turned a few knobs and WOW did it sound really good! It was a Trace Elliot amp. I asked the guy to tell me about it and the first thing he said was it's all (dare I say it) TRANSISTOR! I was amazed that it sounded so good. I really really thought it was a tube amp from the way it sounded. If I woulda had the $$ I would bought it on the spot. Tony
