Here’s the challenge, do they try to capitalize on the Doom nerds (like me) who will spend $3K for “the head” used (not like me), or will they actually try to be competitive in the market with their reissues.
They’ve announced pricing:
- 100s/200s $3,199
- beta lead/bass $799
Not cheap. Those betas look pretty tempting though.
Hmmm, a good start with the Beta Lead. We will see spec wise where it stacks up against boutique copies like From Hillbish Design.
I like this, although i won’t probably be ever able to use one of these at the volume they’re intended to be used. Still i like tha fusz
I’m not too knowledgeable about Sunn amps, but from what I’ve seen, Fender set themselves up for a flop. It’s not only NOT the amp that doom metal people wanted, it’s also extremely expensive at $3,200 on a limited run.
I guess you mean the Doomers wanted a Model T instead of the S100? I’m also not very excited about the S100. However the beta lead/bass are also popular stoner/doom amps (Red Fang uses them for the whole band) and at $800 those are priced less than what vintage ones seem to go for on Reverb these days.
