Cool looking amp. I love triples, I played one for a long time and recorded two albums with one. Not sure I get the price tag, but there’s no denying it’s a cool amp.
 
After that Fryette Pitbull reveal...these kinds of "warts and all" reissues seem a bit blase. In Europe that's going to be over 4000 euros, while you can buy a "not desirable revision" Dual Rectifier on the used market for about 1000 euros at its cheapest.

They're definitely targeting the demographic that's past worrying about a few thousand dollars. Alas, I don't foresee being part of that demographic in this lifetime.

So pretty though:

Exactly, there's no reason at all for me to spend $4k on this triple when I can get one with old caps for $1,500 :lol:

Not to mention if I was dropping 4k I'd much rather get the UL-ii or save another grand for a Wizard.
 
The only time I’ve seen Triples get used where I thought “They got a legit need for 150 watts of a Recto” was the Korn guys. I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever even played through one? Funny, I never thought it was too crazy of an amp, but right now, having experienced several loud as tube amps at teeth rattling volume, the thought of a 150W Recto cracks me the fuck up.

When I was like 16 and about to throw down on a Dual I drove 2 hours to my nearest boogie dealer so I could shoot out the dual, triple, triaxis, DC-10, and some other stuff.

No joke the sales dude broke his wrist carrying the Triple over to drop it on the cab. Had to leave mid sale. I opted for the Dual and never looked back. That sales guy probably died.
