I've been lusting after a Galaxie ever since Z-fest 2009. I was really impressed with the tones Buddy was getting with the Channel 2 Master Volume mod in his Galaxie demo. So a while ago I had a chat with John at 'Peach' and he promised he'd let me know when he had one in stock for me to try. Anyway, I got the PM from John on Wednesday and on Friday afternoon I drove down to Peach straight from work. Spent about an hour playing the Galaxie through a 2 x 10 and was absolutely floored. Stunning!! SOLD ;D . Compared to my MAZ18 NR it is LOUD, so I guess I'm going to be using my Brakelite some more . I just wanted to thank all you Galaxie guys for your posts (Tony, Joel, Drew, etc, etc and particular, thanks to Tony for his audio demo's ('Galaxie Riffage' is super cool) and Frankie for the video's.......absolutely amazing tones guys. Must go, I've got a lot of experimenting to do ;D!! Best from the UK etc. Milky

The force is smiling on you.
Loud? Yea. But it's a good loud. There are some tube swaps that can take a little dB off and maybe even make it sound better, right Tony? ;D

Excellent choice Milky. Congratulations on a fine amp, one of my Fav Zs. I was also impressed with the sound of the Galaxie Buddy was playing. He can anything sound great. I really like the 2x10's and usually set the airbrake/brakelite on 1 or 2. When we were at Tony's last year I thought the Gal through 2 greenbacks was the best sounding amp in his coral.

I'm looking forward to using it 'in anger' . I took it along to our gig last night, but didn't use it as it was a well paid private function...............not really the time to be experimenting with a new amp. We've got one of our regular pub gigs next Saturday so will be giving it some through the 2 x 10 with the Airbrake on 1 click (?)..........we'll see ;D .......can't wait.

That's a good way to put it Milky, 'in anger'. The Galaxie responds well to that type of playing. Meaning, when gigging the Galaxie as the night went on we could play louder up I would end up on staying Ch2 and loving the fierce tone coming from the Galaxie. Hope you get to do the same. Enjoy your new Gal.
