It's a Crate Flexwave 120/212!

Sounds great and it's LOUD great for practicing with my band. =] Looks better in person, btw.

Anyone care to explain speaker magnets? The ones in this baby are thin, and I remember someone who once told me thin magnets were bad. I plan to put V30's in this thing soon. :D

Nice Amp, David. Why don´t you post some picture of your speakers, just to see how "thin" the magnets are? There´s an Eminence guitar speaker with a 115 or 120 mm diameter magnet, only 10mm thick, voice coil 38mm, wound on Kapton, which is used by *many* famous makers, including Crate, Fender, Peavey, etc. Probably you have a couple of them; the sound is quite good; of course the V30´s are better (and *much* more expensive)
