Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
£650-£750 now seems to be the going rate when they pop up.
I don't think that's the way it was intended, wattage and price. It's more a miniature version of a classic. I wanted the Andertons Offset one, that goes for even more money now. Should have, could have picked one up...ah well.

The Behringer sounds identical to a vintage TS-808, by the way .
But most importantly, what did the cat think?

I think they were one of those things that were a good idea on paper, that people just didn’t connect with, but turned out to be a good idea after all!
Yeah the Behringer does exactly what it needs, thought it best to use a bog standard OD to keep it simple.
The cat didn’t like it, he brought up a hair ball on the cab shortly after. But he is an ab-so-lute Bastard!
Not bad at £349 new but they were never remotely worth £500+. (Actually closer to £600 if I remember rightly.)
I’ve had to fix a couple of them for faulty pots, which is unfortunately typical with the plastic PCB-mounted ones they use... just be careful not to bump them!

Can't say I've ever had any problems but then again it's been sat in the corner of the room for years and hasn't been moved about too much. Maybe the next test should be how hard I can bang the thing before something goes wrong!
To be honest I think I did misjudge them originally... I thought they were wildly overpriced toys aimed at collectors and sounded terrible, but if you approach them as you have - ie as basically a recording preamp that also happens to have a built-in speaker for monitoring or practicing - then I can see why you like it, it does sound very good.
I wouldn’t pay what they go for now any more than the original price though. So don’t sell it! You got it at the right price .

Even using the stock speaker is much better than HT1 was.
