Nice what did you get?

Chieftain combo. It is potentially the nicest amp I’ve ever played let alone owned. So clear sounding and the high end response is just amazing. I hate the buzz words but it feels “responsive,” and just incredible.

Yeah I don’t have too much experience with IV’s and V’s but I always really liked the III’s clean tones.

Not counting the IIC+, which requires a HELOC loan to buy these days, the III is my favorite. IV is a close second. After that, I only have experience with the V and the JP2C and I like them both, but slightly prefer the JP. I haven't played the VII yet.

Thanks man, it’s kind of unreal owning something in this class of gear. A part of me feels disgusted with myself. :lol: Probably honeymooning but I’ve played some nice amps and this one is really just a different experience.

Yeah, the IV is probably the way to go, but these prices are dumb, and I can't bring myself to do it lol.
I like 5150s. The rest of you bullshit amps can get fucked.
