The V2 Vibe blurs the lines between "plexi" amps and the "800" amps that followed. The single guitar input is split between two parallel gain stages - one fatter and one brighter - that are bridged internally (no need for a patch cable). The front-panel Vibe control allows the user to dial in hot-rodded plexi tones, JCM800+ tones, or anything in between. This particular Vibe is powered by a pair of 6V6 tubes (fixed bias, with separate bias adjustment for each power tube) and sports several features that are often missing from amps in the 18-20W range, including presence and body (aka resonance) controls.
On January 31, I will give away the Vibe pictured below. The "lotto amp" will come without tubes, but tubes and a buffered effects loop can be added at cost. The winner will have to cover the actual shipping costs. *** Michael Mortimer from modulusamplification.com supplied a tolex-covered head cab free of charge. Thank you Michael!!! *** Mason Atom Wolak at TMI Amplification provided the control panels - Thank you Mason! How to enter. The entry period is over - Tabulating names now... Good luck everyone!!!!

I’ve been watching you build amps for a few years now. I first became aware of you and your amps on the My Les Paul forum in the Phaez amp threads. Anyway I would love to win this amp because I know how much time you have spent perfecting your craft. It would make a great addition to the guitars I build.

The chassis is meant to be housed in a head cab. There is a photo of the amp loaded into a dyed tweed cab on the 'amplifiers' page.

Happy New Year! Would be extremely grateful to win the amp. My main gigging amp is shot right now and I’m borrowing a less than desirable amp from a friend of mine.

Amps look beautifully built ..... you know your stuff! I can’t figure out why there aren’t more amps like this in the market place; they certainly are way more suitable for the vast majority of guitarists.
