After searching tirelessly for months, I finally found my self a pre500 Blackface w/ chrome chassis! The headshell is a little beat up (i plan on replacing it with a new/old one) but it sounds AWESOME! I am now a true believer that these amps are the real deal! The tone is noticably better than my 2 channel triple rectifier (which wasn't all that bad to begin with). My advice to any one who is searching for a specific, hard to find amp is to just hang in there and don't settle. There were several times in the past month where I could have bought an amp that was *close* to what I was looking for but not quite it...
Now, my question for the current(or past) Pre 500 (Rev D) owners- What are your favorite settings for your REV D? I think I have found "my tone" but I want to keep experimenting with this amp...
