Good on yer! :D

OK, if you read the listing carefully, you already know that this beast is heavy! 88 pounds may be an understatement. My '76 clocks in at 96 lbs. on the scales. You will want to make some kind of wheeled dolly cart for it. Don't take that silly strap-handle on top seriously - its a roadie joke; a trap for unwary machismo types who will rapidly discover the need for a good chiropractor. I know some very capable people. None of them get far carrying my amp with one hand. A VT-22 is a two-man lift. And nobody carries it solo.

Its key to remember that the tone controls are true boost/cut types. Start out with all of them set at 12:00 (no effect), and search from there with the settings. With a little experimentation, you can find just about any sound you want. It won't do that fizzy, high-gain stuff that nobody played back when this monster was first brought to life, but that's what pedals are for. You're about to discover what you sound like. That can be a real eye-opener.

I tell you true - this is an amp that will improve your playing. :cool:
