pegleg32 Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Well I took the leap. I ordered a Red Plate "Blues Machine" from Henry Heistand. Attached are the face plate and back plate for the amp. Some folks opt to put their names in large letters in the front but I liked the small letters on the back. Should take about 6 weeks to build. I also asked him to change the black knobs to red.
pegleg32 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 Very nice, Don! What attracted you to this amp? My wife and I went on a Blues Cruise last fall, and several of the good players were using these. Since then I have been researching and finding out what I could about them. The more I read the more I liked, although, there is not a ton of info out there on them. The "black face", "brown face", "tweedy" switch intrigues me. Be interesting to see if they are even close. In addition, it is lighweight, 50 watts, and just seems like a really good grab and go amp.
rjsanders Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 watts, reverb, loop, xlnt controls, should do it all for you, Don. loved everything i've heard about & through them. this'll be most xlnt!

rjsanders Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Cool amp.. here is one on a Blues Cruise jam ... ... hey, & there's Shane Dwight w/his H-157...
pegleg32 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 Yes, that is a cool vid. I think this was a vid of one of the "pro" jams they had each day. Coco Montoya (playing lead) was the drummer for Albert Collins for several years.

golferwave Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Fantastic! Give us the lowdown when you take delivery. I've heard only good comments about these amps.
brentrocks Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Never heard of these...I can't wait to hear a clip
pegleg32 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks guys, you know me, I never miss an opportunity to post a clip!!!! Should take about 6 weeks according to Henry.
RKW Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Did you ever get the Blues Machine? I have one on order just curious how it sounds.
DetroitBlues Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 hey, & there's Shane Dwight w/his H-157... One of my favorite guitarists! I believe though, the cruise provided the gear. I just got a message from Shane a week or so ago stating he uses a Vibrolux amp....
