definitely an improvement over the gold.
the black knobs for my KK are currently "out for delivery".

I love gold but I think in this case these knobs are a better fit.
I think the gold was alright too but these seem to gel just a hair better with the amp; may flip between these and the gold later on knowing me.I love gold but I think in this case these knobs are a better fit.
That pink and blue tolex makes me want to put cute stickers all over this thing tho!
The silver knobs look great on the amp!
I also see another major issue...it's not pink and blue!It's here!!! Just three weeks after I sent the payment, the Chupacabra 50 arrived safely at my door in Germany.
But now comes the bad part of the story... the Suhr Reactive Load hasn't arrived yet, so I can't test the amp right now (I have to go to work in an hour anyway), but I'm hoping the RL will arrive tomorrow or Thursday. Wish me luck!

Nothing fancy, just some JJs. Low noise in V1, balanced in V3.[…] What tubes do you have in it?

Shipping is listed on the Ceriatone site: https://ceriatone.com/shipment-table/Looks awesome! What is the price of that thing here in Europe with shipping and the expensive VAT we have? 2500€+?
Nah, incl. buffered FX loop mod, FedEx shipping, import duties / VAT and a set of JJs from tube-town I paid 1900 EUR.Looks awesome! What is the price of that thing here in Europe with shipping and the expensive VAT we have? 2500€+?

Prices are too for each amp; Chupa50 is 1,325 USD without the buffered loop: https://ceriatone.com/series/model/hot-rodded-plexi/
You can order these without tubes and it'll lower the cost - prices with / without tubes are listed for each amp.
VAT depends on the country you're in and what is the declared value (and proof of that value's payment) of the goods & shipping.

I'm in Europe (Romania). You can get in touch with Nik and he'll help you out on getting stuff sorted with shipping / value etc.I have looked at that before, and calculated, but some manufacturers can do special deals to get the VAT down, or special shipping solution, hence why I asked what the final price was from someone that actually ordered it to Europe. I've only heard people from US order it which doesn't really provide much for me :)
Wow really? That's... not bad! A 50 watt 1987x is around €1500 new, so this is not much more!
Did you have any mods done to it from factory, or it's vanilla? :)
I added the buffered FX loop to my order. Without it I would have paid 80 EUR less.Did you have any mods done to it from factory, or it's vanilla? :)
How much does it suck with the amp just sitting there waiting for the RLI added the buffered FX loop to my order. Without it I would have paid 80 EUR less.
