Is there anyone here (I highly doubt there isn't) that knows an awful lot about these noise boxes? Can someone please break down the models built by Gary and the differences (speaker/tube configurations etc.) between them? I know this is probably a dead horse, but I've been living under a large mossy stone for the past eternity and haven't seen the light in as long. I know of the Sonny Jr., Sonny Jr. II, Cruncher, Super Cruncher, Avenger...are there any others? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Before the 4-10,Sonny made a handful of Bandmaster copies. There are also quite a few Bassman RI amps out there that Sonny modified.

@tmf714, Harpaholic- Thanks for the response. Was just curious if I've missed any variations that are out there. I've seen a few pop up for sale that I've never heard of (no surprise there) and am considering getting another.
@Frank- Boy do I feel stupid for posting. Guess I would have got a better response if I posted something like "What Is The Best Way To Hold A Harp" or "Vote: What Do You Guys Like Better Blow Notes Or Draw Notes?". Thanks for the chuckle though...I think.

Willie that was a great question, I lost track myself of all the models - so your in good company :)

For holding the harp - Hawkeye has a nice grip in his picture, don't stare into his eyes longer then you should though :)

and I do sincerely which you would stop by the VOTE thread and cast yours :)

Your suggestion for a thread called..."What Do You Guys Like Better Blow Notes Or Draw Notes?" is a great one and if you don't post it, may I have your permission too?

Keep on smilin :)
