I purchase The LB 3 months ago from L.A music in mississauga. I was lookn for a new amp after struggling with a jcm900 for 10yrs.After mths of research the rm100/egnator looked interesting to me.I like the idea you can replace the preamps. I was :shock: to see the LB!! Looked cool also he's my fav' guitar player-I had to score one,the next day I did!!$1150 +$250 for mod's. I got Blackface-I like,XTC-very cool,Grail-didn't like so a week later I swap it with 1086-very cool!I also replace the head stock JJ with Tung-sol premps and 4-Rudy el34bstr sounds KILLER now!!
