Here's a link
Very cool! The price seems more than reasonable. Tom, have you played one of these or ever heard it played?

This is the first I have heard of it-I am familiar with Torres ,but have never heard of or seen this wild concoction.

I believe I know where his shop is. I've contacted him - might be able to stop by and give it a blow on Wednesday.

I've never heard that particular amp, but many years ago at a guitar show I heard Torres amps being demoed. The ones being played were little tweed amps probably 5-10 watts, they sounded gorgeous. The only way I can describe them is that it was like listening to liquid chocolate. Very thick, rich, full, fat sounding amps. By far they were the best amps I heard that day.

Interesting amp. Too bad it's local pickup. The seller also has a SJ2 6x8 for sale,also local only.

I just visited it Rick. It's still available.
That sucker looks like it might be based in part off the Fender Vibro-King. Bet it's a bitchin' boss!

I think they pulled it or it expired and relisted it for 22+ days. BTW: I was trying to buy a killer Kendrick amp off a guy in SF last year, he wouldn't ship, still has it. I need an agent in California or a road trip.
