I found a thread here pertaining to a 5150 footswitch which I'm hoping to participate in. I used a 5150 blockletter that I got for $300 back in the 90's. Used it exclusively for years and for many tours until someone in England somehow plugged it into one of their sockets and blew it up. Ended up leaving it there since it would have cost less to ship a broken amp home to be fixed than it was to buy a new one. So I got home and bought a 5150 MklI, and played one show with it before modding it back to the Mk I setup. Been my main amp since. No pedals, just a start or les paul straight into the amp. And that's me!
