The F-series line is discontinued and (in my opionion) underrated. You can find them used for a fair price. Usually around $750 though I have found them for around $500 (used) if you shop for them. I think new they sold for around $1299 - $1399-ish

They're a more simple machine, but still 2-channel and a contour (for that added boost). The F-30s are 30-watt and use EL34 while the F-50 and F-100 (50-watt and 100-watt) use 6L6s (my favorite valve). And they have a built in spring reverb.

The tones are rich, the cleans really excel. The amp has nice crunch and drive and with a simple click of the contour on footswitch (or front panel) the amp becomes a raging beast of pure raw metal tones.

If you read the Harmony-Central page, you'll see that a number of different stylists use the amp. It's very versatile and very durable. (and loud as hell!)

I love the design (stealth look). The control panel is laid out for no-frills / easy to use, however, the eq system is very touchy, is instrumental and defined to tweak. (which can be a good thing for guys who love to take the time to tweak --and bad thing for a plug-n-play noob)

All three series come in either head or 1x12 combo (2x12 combo for the F-100). And I found some interesting colors in tolex from black, whine red and even green.
