Sunn Alpha 115

Would you drive four hours (and back) for a cheap one? How close do these sound to a Beta Lead, and how much will I still want the Beta?

if it's in great shape, it could be. it'll be loud for sure and give you an idea of if you want to live in the neighborhood. I like 15" speakers for guitar, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. If you are tuning down and getting loud, you'll be a fan.

Beta leads are worth tracking down, but finding the right cab can be make or break with it. I had one for a minute and enjoyed it, but I was also pushing a sunn 6x12 with it. Using with my Marshall 4x12, it was pretty underwhelming. Since my main amp is a model t (which sounds amazing with any cab), it was surplus requirements and I sold the head for what I bought the head and cab for.
