Congrats, great amp. Probably not much help here but I had a custom made heavy duty flight case made for my baby. www.transitpak.com.au/Only costs as much as a boutique pedal and protects your amp for a lifetime.

Thanks guys,I got to play the 66 at practice last night w/ a couple pedals. Until then I only plugged strieght in.Still havn't run the hole board through yet.But gave it a working w/ my Eternity & OS comp.
Realy great tones,even though we're in my drummers realy small basement.The studio is just too hot in the summer months(his house is air conditioned)So I couldn't crank it. The E worked great at getting it to sound cranked at low vol. Not "as' good but more than usable & the OS gave it the gian for heavier stuff. I'm gonna need an Airbrake. Can't wait to get the fuzzes through it. I ran a Dano french toast through it at the store & it sounded GREAT!Stoner rock heaven.I may need a nice Foxx clone.
Anyway I think the clam cover is gonna be the one w/ the extra pockets. If we start playing out of state I'll have to upgrade to a hard case.

The 66 LOVES fuzz. I'm still on the hunt but every fuzz I've tried so far sounded great. Just trying to find that "one"! I think the 66 voice really suits them. Let me know what fuzzes you try and how they go! Ah nothing like a good bit of fuzz!

Well I have the Dano fuzz I mentioned just for the mear $30 fact ,I couldn't resist.It realy does sound good.The octave effect is great too.Not too road worthy though. I also have a kARL Fuzz (odviously),a Keeley BD2 FuzzFreek,Lovepedal Bad Mother F@*#er ,& a Fuzz50. I'm gonna try and give them a run through this weekend. I'll report back. Probably in a new thread,This is getting off topic.

Oh I'm great at going off topic and morphing a thread into something totally different. I'm interested in the MI Audio Neo-fuzz and GI Fuzz, Ulbrick Germanium face and the Analogman Sunface at the moment. Looking forward to the report.

I'm fine w/ getting off topic,I'm just new here & don't know how people are about that around here. Some forums get a little persnickity(is that a word ;D) if you get off topic. Do you have a link for the Ulbrick Germanium face? I've not heard of that one.

Tasweigan,I've had a few practices w/ the 66 & my pedal board.The Lovepedal Bad Mother F@*#er (I think Sean calls it the Dragon,now)Is f@*#ing amazing w/ the 66. All the Page & Crowes you could want.The kARL is killer too for that realy sick stuff.The way that pedal naturaly swells along w/the 66's harmonic content ,leads seem ALIVE.Like it's breathing.Good stuff,this amp SMOKES! More later.

I too have a Karl made by Sean @ Lovepedal, it's sick in a GOOD way. I also have a FoxRox Hot Silicon Fuzz and it is great as well. Here is a link to a fuzz that alot of folks are raving about: www.euthymia.org/Pedals/ICBM/Surf the whole site he makes some cool pedals. Skip ; ^ )

More later. That's awesome, thanks for the info. I'm kinda interested the two MI Audio fuzzes and the Ulbrick fuzz just as they are easy access for me here, but I may have to check that Dragon BMF out at some stage too. I have a Tonefactor Hellbilly and I tried a friends Zvex Fuzz factory one night and while comparing them during the gig I accidentally had both on and had this amazing high gain lead sound. I hoping I can get the same thing with the Hellbilly behind one of these. I can't even afford to eat at the moment so I don't know what I'm talking about!

Well ,I'd be extremly careful tring Seans stuff(if you havn't yet) It can lead to many a hungry months. They've also ben known to eat other pedals off your board

Everyone I know that has one speaks very highly of them. Definitely worth checking out in the near future. The Ulbrick stuff is extremely good too...he is the Pete Cornish of Australia.

Sidestepping the pedal chat, there are a few case mfg'rs on eBay that build great stuff for reasonable $. Prices vary depending on durability - but you can get a nice ATA case for that head for $150-175...or even less if you're not needing spring-loaded recessed handles or butterfly latches.
Search eBay Stores [seller ID in () below] for: Angstrom Cases (sdaoust) Island Cases (islandcases) The Case Store (thecasestore)
And, enjoy the 66! That is just the most amazing amp design - sounds SOOoOoOoo good with any guitar and amazing with just about any pedal you put in the signal path. I'll have mine until it's pried from my cold lifeless hands!
