It’s an exceptional deal even it with being the first generation from 2004.
Ha! I pulled the ad after I played it one day. Just killer.
I have this thought that I need to thin the herd over the next few years. I'm 69 years old and really feel great. Rode a couple motorcycles today, BUT I am getting up there and I worry about leaving a ton of high end gear for my wife and kids to deal with. I will slowly thin the herd, but that Fire amp with the matching cab really is special. So is the X-Ray head I've been gigging.

Adam's amps really are the best, man.

Adam has a gift for making some of the best sounding amps I’ve ever played.
I sincerely hope that whatever I contributed there over the years (and hopefully it was a contribution and not a detractor) helped someone. I know people there, including many of you, and several more there, helped me.
For myself, I enjoyed your time there. No one else was acquiring, recording, and describing these rare amps. Not many clips of some of them out there, so it truly was an asset. Some I loved, some I didn’t care for, and a couple frustrated me when I couldn’t get the same tone from the same gear. I have acquired a stellar amp collection in the process with no regrets.

@beckstriad - Definitely positive contributions! Too bad there were some folks who chose to stir up things in negative context in terms of uninformed personal and gear-experience opinions, rather than appreciate the shared content for what it was: personal experience and a journey.
I feel your pain. Once you have decided to sell a piece of gear you should not play it again or you will remember why you bought it in the first place and have to keep it. It will then sit, unplayed, for another couple of years until you decide to sell it again. Then, the potential buyer asks for an in-hand evaluation and the cycle repeats itself.
We are downsizing next year so not sure if I will have a 600 sq ft music room anymore, but hoping to have an open basement (with windows) or bonus room in the new place. I am under pressure to reduce inventory so selling an item here and there after capturing them on my Quad Cortex. /13 and AN amps are listed on TGP but not moving, although some interest. Have quite a few guitars on consignment now so I don’t have to deal with selling them myself anymore. Next to my music room is the unfinished attic area which has a ton of unused cabs and speakers I’ll need to deal with and perhaps donate. I should start to document everything for my boys. Lots of little things to note like that my Fender ‘64 Custom Deluxe Reverb has a NOS RCA 12Ax7 tube. Things that only I know.
it is amazing how quickly it piles up. The immense pain associated with selling gear has reinforced for me that i will be more selective buying gear from now on.
