Sunn Beta Mini

Looks pretty cool…

EDIT: 599 pre order price!

TBH this thing looks pretty badass. I might get one for a bass rig and then it can double as a guitar amp. Win/win!

I caught that video. Sounds badass.

i saw this the other day. that is not a guitar amp id ever want. the original is truly one of the weirdest amps youd ever want to play unless its dead clean. and yeah ive played em. a LOT. i lived with one in my house. it sounds like a square wave. i know doom guys like em, but no.

Sunn is definitely making a come back. This would rock with the Orange head I like to use.

Looks pretty sweet and a price that isn't insane. The initial pricing schemes when Sunn first "came back" a few years ago got them laughed off the internet more or less

I got all jazzed for the Beta Lead rack, until I saw it was 3U.

It’s actually bigger than the head.

Id still like to try one of the Beta Lead variants to scratch that itch.

Yeah, no, dunno...

It's nice to see respawned Sunn still exists, but I'm in doubt.

As said above, their initial pricing scheme was laughable at best (add 200% Hipster Tax to every item), and the Beta Mini is a cool idea, but isn't that just yet another Class D amp?

600 bucks is the preorder price, with the regular price probably bordering around 1000$ or more.

Unsure what to think of these, when there's plenty big-iron solid-state amps out there that won't fit in a backpack but will cost you next to nothing.

CME is listing them at $599.

The full head and rack are $850 & $950.

Are some of the original people still around there or did they sell the brand name to a different company?

I don’t think any OGs are around, fender bought sunn ages ago before eventually killing the brand

Did I mention this is what Blug should do with the Mercury and Iridium?
