Just saw this on the Coda website, good price for one of these. I owned one once, great sounding amps but too loud for my pub gig needs and also very heavy. Truly great on-the-edge sound though...

    They have a Fuchs Train 45, too, which sounds like an interesting amp...

    No master volume, though. :(

    I've just bought the Two Rock Exo and cab that they had in there secondhand. I thought about both of those amps but they were too close to options I have.

    seems a little pricey. The 212 can be had for that money

    Finding one is another matter, 
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    699 is a steal despite it being a MG version. Great amps, even though not quite the Hylight level of detail.

    Im not green ;-)

    I will say that it does have a very robust construction though.
