I waited 14 months for a RKII! It was right when they were going from series I to II. There was a ton of miscommunication and false information about the status of the Road Kings floating around. I think they ended up holding out until NAMM to release the RKII with the upgraded features. I was told before that it would be 3 months, then it became 6, and so on! I was also told that they were having trouble getting a certain part in.

Luckily I have had it for a year now, and the tone is great! (but channel 4 has been giving me problems lately... )

You must have wanted a RKII real bad!

I should have mentioned... I ordered a floor model RKI in 2005 with some scuffs on the tolex only because the salesman at Guitar Center promised to order me a new one. I was allowed to keep the RKI as a loaner until the new one came in. I didn't have any idea that I would be getting a revised model (and was furious that the new one had a missing pentode/triode switch - but now realize I don't even miss that function)!

Realistically though it should say, "The Man"

2001 Posts, but still only 2.6 posts per day. Some of these guys joined last week and there at 700 !!!

I dont start posts and I stay away from really goofy crap like Rodan v/s Godzilla, Batman v/s Spiderman. Too me, to compare amps I buy them.
I don't use the term "owns". I don't have GAS. I use I too much.

Other than the RK II v.2, which was a net purchase paid for 2 years ago, I don't have a **** thing that's new. I just missed out on a Bogner 101B that got snagged for $ 1200 at the local GC. I played a Gibson Explorer last night, and hated it. It was 4 planks of different grained mahogany.
Call me a picky *******, but I am. I ripped a bit on the Ace which was a nasty, nasty sounding amp. I would get one, but I like the SLO 100 better, plus the RK II in Vintage with EL34's is pretty sweet.

Thanks for reminding me how pathetic my life is by point out I am now a Dual Dorktifier.

Thanks alot. Now someone send me some gut shots so I can get out of this funk.
