They’ll probably give you a little back. The last two things I bought from GC used were not as described. A Dr Z 2x12” that was actually a 1x12”, an a guitar that ended up being left handed I noticed recently that they have an "RND 500 Series EQ" on their site that, if you look at the picture, is actually a compressor. Buy it have it shipped to your local store, when it shows up and isn’t an EQ see how much they will adjust the price. If they adjust the price it’s on the store that shipped it, if you return it, it’s then on the local stores books😁 |

Alright, the more I use these the more I like them. They might just stick around. And while they stick out like a sore thumb, I'm getting used to how they look in my rack.  You can tell the hand-wired 50th Anniversary Edition version apart from the PCB version with the gold faceplate above, as the hand-wired version has 5 frequencies per band - like the originals - and '50' in black lettering over the API logo. The gold PCB version has 7 frequencies per band, just like the standard black PCB version, and doesn't have '50' over the logo. Here is the hand-wired 50th Anniversary Edition version:  API has done at least two other limited edition runs of hand-wired 550A reissues since the 2000s. They did them with a standard black faceplate about 20 years ago. That was before they brought out the PCB version. And then they did the 'Saul Walker Edition' a few years later, which had a silver faceplate. In addition to the 2 extra frequencies per band, the PCB version also has an electronically-balanced input (although I'm not sure if its always had that) whereas I assume all of the hand-wired versions have an unbalanced input like the originals. |
