It's funny how it's a generational thing.
For me, plus being in Europe my first band was in 79 and I had a 72 Super bass. That I first used a treble boosters in front of then got it hacked.
The stuff I liked back then were Hiwatts. Sound Cities, Park and of course metal panel JMPs
By the time 800s came around the only use I had for it was for the wer return of the delay.
I didn't play anything but that stuff til I moved to LA in 87.
Oh there was also a GK 250 in there some time.
