Would anyone happen to have any information on the ST-42 Colossus solid state amp? There's one for sale that has repeatedly caught my attention (particularly, for the tall 4x12" speaker cab loaded with Altec 417B's) and I wanted to know what these amps sound like? I'm a huge V-series user and want to see if the tone is comparable. Seeing as how it's solid state vs. tubes, I'm guessing it may sound slightly more sterile, or maybe it has a straight forward clean tone, which I'm fine with, seeing as it'd serve as a solid platform for some pedals. If anyone has any experience with this amp, please, don't hesitate to contribute to this thread! I mean, late-60's/early-70's solid state can't be that bad, seeing as how Santana used that Gallien solid state amp at Woodstock and John Fogerty used those "Tuck n' Roll" solid state Kustom amps that sounded pretty good, right?
