I'm interested in buying this amp but I'm not sure if it is a real thing. I've looked into Model Chart on this page but from information that i've found there I am almost sure that it can't be 110 RD. First of all in this amp has 12' Celestion speaker rather then 10' Music Man. I don't know if it was changed but also it has diffrent tubes from the one named 110 RD in Model Chart. The one that I want to buy has also 2 channels and it should be only 1, shouldn't it? I hope that somebody will help me to find out if it is a real Music Man or just a copy. Kuba P.S. Sorry for my English if there was any mistakes.   Kuba K.

DO NOT BUY if you want a musicman!   Steve Kennedy Posted on Saturday, May 29, 2004 - 05:22 pm:    Yep, these guys nailed it. Almost everything about this amp says it is a poor attempt to LOOK like a Music Man amp but it definitely is NOT one! This is the first time I have ever seen a bogus Music Man counterfeit! Since the 110RD-50 and 112RD-50 command such high prices I suppose it was only a matter of time. Steve   Kuba K.

I found enother offer this time it looks authentic, but I have question about Music Man amps. I know that they have great clean sound. Most of them have transistors on preamp and tubes on poweramp. I was wondering, if they have nice crunch sound. I mean somethink a bit overdriven by a booster effect like MXR Microamp or something like that. Does they work fine with that sort of effects??

I use a Boss Blues Driver for some vintage distortion, or a Boss MetalZone for crunch. My 210-65 handles either effect very nicely.   carl Posted on Sunday, June 13, 2004 - 07:01 am:    if you have a nice sounding overdrive/distortian pedal - the musicman amp is the best canvas i really like my ts9 in front of it people always comment on my tone
