OK...I'm really confused now....been alternating between the Milkman Hybrid, Sideman, and Mini...

My pretty loud alt-country band said they liked the Hybrid better than the Sideman or Mini - "it cut through better"....I think that it was just the totally clear high headroom of a 400 watt amp talking...and they said the tone was really fine, and it sounded great to me in the band mix....

And then tonight I played the Mini in another (less loud) band where I had the Hybrid last week...the Mini tone was just magical, if not as "pure" as the Hybrid's...

Tim keeps driving me nuts with one great amp after another!!! I really don't know which one I like best....

Actually, I do....the 85 watt Pedal Steel Amp that I no longer have...that one could slay dragons...but these others are all special on their own way too...and they weigh a lot less...
