I did the deed as soon as I saw this because it will likely sell out fast. I've been wanting to go back to a real amp but needed one that's more versatile than my Fendery combos (I seem to always have Fendery amps). An amp that can cover a lot of ground with a loop, a good IR out, at least 2 channels, a good master and a lower watt setting. Midi would have been nice but I'll survive. All at a reasonable price. If it doesn't work out for whatever reason I can most likely get my money back selling it.

Now I gotta sell a few things to cover what I just spent. Off to Craigslist hell I go...

It's a killer amp, you'll love it.
 
I just wanna say, I love this kind of SDotD. It's chaotic. It's actually a stupid deal. It's like, "holy shit should I jump on this?"

Most stupid deals are stupid in the other way - it's either some fuckin slide whistle or harmonica set or bar stool that no one is buying, so they discount it a few bucks hoping to maybe ship some? I dunno. This one and the Nick Johnston deals of last year are some of the more interesting deals in recent memory.

Yeah, I’m pissed I missed the Nick Johnston one.
 
No, it wasn’t. The 50 W head was, but they discontinued that as well.
At about the same weight as my Mark V 1x12 combo, I'm not surprised people might want something lighter and prefer hauling a head and cab instead. Especially considering that the Badlander probably won't appeal to the bluesier crowd that tends to favor combos more.

Even I would have gone for the Mark V head, but the combo saved me quite a few hundred euros over what the heads were selling on the used market.

I personally don't like combos either, especially tube. But this one sounds great. However, you can't easily switch to head, like you can with some Mesa amps.
 
Would you mind expanding on this? What makes the Badlander combo unique in this regard?
Combo chassis is upside down from the head. You can mount it, but everything's upside down, and you'd have to figure out how to relabel it.
While I do really like it with a creamback and a redback, ironically have been really enjoying it with my c90 loaded 1x12 more than anything else at the moment :LOL:
Yeah just not my thing, and I do like the C90 with other amps.
