    They are indeed.  I'm really as low as I want to go, because I can get roughly this value when trading it in and that would be the minimal hassle option for me.

    The amp has 4 channels, two clean (taken from the Lone Star) and two gain (taken from a Dual Rec).  It also has the Lone Star reverb (with level able to be set per channel), can be 50 or 100 watts on a per channel basis, FX loop on/off on a per channel basis, can have diode or valve rectification per channel, can take EL34 or 6L6 valves (6L6 fitted), can be set bold or spongy (variac)  -  basically it can do pretty much anything you fancy.  I'd recommend reading the product page on it for more info if you are interested.

    Here are the manufacturer close ups, as you can see each channel has a lot of independent controls (only bold/spongy, and master 1 and 2 are shared).

    I'm selling it because I want to go digital.  My current situation doesn't give me enough time during reasonable hours to record this thing, so I'd rather have something I could use any time of the day - and for that matter anywhere, I'm often away.  Recording has become a priority for me as my band can't perform live currently, don't really want to discuss it on a for sale thread but that is the reality of the situation!

    I'm a bassist, but I'll sent the link to a mate who might be interested.

    Middleton, but usually Chorlton at the weekend. I notice you're in Merseyside, I'm playing a gig in Liverpool on Saturday if you want it dropped off earlier in the day. PM me if you fancy it @sted

    Picked up a Roadster 6mo ago from Guitar Guitar as Mesa finally put a great clean channel onto the Dual Rec. Channel 1 in Tweed mode has that. Fender chime, and with another clean in ch2 it is packed to the gills with options. A tremendous amp that has escaped the mainstream radar.

    Tweed mode is one of my favourites.  You could easily make this a killer blues amp by using Ch2 as clean/fat, ch1 in tweed mode for mid gain, and ch3 in raw for something a bit more edgy.  And you'd still have a channel spare!   The reverb is really nice too.

    The cab has now been sold, the head is still available.

    If I'd spent more time researching I think this or a Road King would have suited me better than a Mark V. 

    The footswitch would cause me issues but I'm a moaning git.

    Now there is an offer you don't get on every web forum!

    Unfortunately it isn't the kind of amp I'm after.  I'd be more interested in the EVH if you ever decide to move that on.

    £1100 cash.  Not looking for any guitar trades now unless they're pretty low value (e.g. pedals) that I could sell on myself if necessary.
