Because I just bought this amp back from a friend after like 5 years.

That’s a sexy Pittbull.

Beautiful. My favorite amp.

What power tubes are being used in this? I have JJ 6CA7s in mine and really like the sound they give... I want to try the EH 6CA7s but as a result of the Ukraine-Russia issue, I wasn't going to pay what they are going for right now. I think this amp could also benefit from some E34Ls too.

Super sweet. I’ve always been intrigued by the VHT/Fryette stuff. Enjoy it!

Also butthurt because I’m very jealous and miss mine to an insane degree. One of the best amps of all time no cap

Want to trade for my 50/cl

That's a killer amp man good on you for getting it back.
You're only 17 buy/sell away from beating my DSL record :lol:

Yeah it’s got E34L’s in it right now!

I remember the first time I tried this circuit, it was a 50/CL at the guitar centre in Hollywood in 2009 and I was real tempted to figure out a way to bring it back to Canada with me. It’s a great amp and I’m not mad that I have it again.

Hahaha yeah I’m closer to your record with dual rectifiers (6) or AC30’s (5).

Not sure. I got the “friend buy back” price.

GuitarBilly · Post by **GuitarBilly** » Mon Jul 31, 2023 12:18 am

About $2k for an 100CL. More for the UL. Although I like the CL better.

_ej_ · Post by **_ej_** » Mon Jul 31, 2023 9:26 am

I've owned 2 100/cls and 3 50/cls. Paid less than $800 for all the 50s and less than 1200 for the 100s. It's crazy how the prices have ballooned. I really wish I had held onto the 100 though I think my current 50 is the best sounding one I've owned.

I do not. But I appreciate the offer :P

spawnofthesith · Post by **spawnofthesith** » Mon Jul 31, 2023 10:47 am

my 50cl was $1000 :cry:

There's one on reverb right now for $1600

The days of sub-$1K VHT/Fryettes are long gone unfortunately. We were living in a golden era and didn’t even know. I wish I’d have kept my Deliverance 60.

Dave · Post by **Dave** » Mon Jul 31, 2023 1:12 pm

That's not even really that cool

Rampage · Post by **Rampage** » Mon Jul 31, 2023 3:23 pm

Are you allowed to reveal the amp in the first post?

Killer amp though man. Remember playing a used one in the glass room at GC Phoenix when I was in high school. Absolutely killer. Maybe if I bought less weed and beer back then I could have afforded it.

colejustesen · Post by **colejustesen** » Mon Jul 31, 2023 3:32 pm

It looks like it might be a great time to sell my 100/CL...

I’d like to spend some more time with VHT/Fryette stuff. I played some sort of Pitbull for a few minutes like 12 years ago when I was buying a JCM 900. It wasn’t really up my alley at the time, but I’d be happy to give one a shot again just to see what’s up.

Cool to get an old one back!

GuitarBilly · Post by **GuitarBilly** » Mon Jul 31, 2023 11:38 pm

I bought and sold my Deliverance for $600 in 2013. Those days are over lol

Great amp, I miss it.
