Does anyone have any experience with any TubeWorks amplifiers? I am looking to expand my amp collection and I have an oppertunity to buy a late 80's TubeWorks amp for pretty cheap.... here's what I know so far about them... if you have any more info let me known please!!!!!

1. They were designed by B.K. Butler who formerly was with Marshall... he basically designed the first JCM's before he left the company.

2. The company name was bought by a German Audio company called Genz-Benz in the mid 90's and they no longer make guitar amps.

3. The sound of the amps have been compared to Mesa Mark IV's and JCM 800's

4. The particular amp that I am looking at has a clean channel and a tube overdriven channel and the capability to blend the two.

Anyone have any experience with these amps or know anything more please let me know... I need to make a decision on it. Odds are... I'm going to buy it.
