I got on to MM amps in early 1976. A local band, Wild Cherry, (as in Play That Funky Music) was using 410-65's, and I got hooked. I got a 212-65, traded it for a 212-130HD, traded it for a 112-50 RD (with the rocker-switch between the channels as a channel-select switch), and (round-about) traded that for an RD=50 head (with the rocker-switch between the channels as a mid-boost switch). I usually use this head as a back-up for my Boogie, but I've used it (stacked under a Mesa 1-12 EV bottom) for the last couple jobs, and it may just be edging the Boogie out for first-chair in my amp line. It is much more "user-friendly" for basic sounds, and the dirty channel is quite acceptable, as compared to the Boogie.
I'd love to hear from other folks who still use (and love) their MM amps, even after they've been discontinued for almost 20 years, now. albee
