Waiting patiently...

I have an X4 on order, it should be here this week! All Michael's amps are tempting. I played an X50 recently and loved the power, though 15 or 30 watts is probably my next move. I can't wait to try the X4's tube tremolo.

I'm sure there are great things to come for and from Xits in the new year.

Cheers.

please let us know how you like your x10's and x4's. I've heard the youtube demo, but I'd love to hear the slightly dirty tones.

Add me to the list of folks who want to hear more about the x10. I think it has my name written all over it. Now I just need a check with my name on it once.

These amps look even better in person. To quote two sound guys who walked up on stage last summer to gawk at my X50 and cab, "that's the coolest looking amp I've ever seen."

The X10 and X4 are turret board mounted circuits while the Sadie (X15) is completely handwired. So there is much more time and effort required to build them. The Sadie also uses more expensive and powerful transformers. That being said, the X10 is an amazing sounding and well constructed amp! And a steal at it's current price! Finally, Michael is great to deal with as well.

the x10 is also 1/2" birch. The saide is fingerjointed pine. I'm guessing, so don't quote me on this, but it looks like the x10 and x4 use the same cabinet. It's at least the same dimensions on the website.
