How good are these things? I want a super mega distortion amp and I've already done the Rectifier thing so I want to get something like a Knucklehead Tre or 5150. The real selling point about the knuckleheads, aside from looking totally awesome, is they've got lots of distortion and as far as I can tell really good articulation at the same time, which is always nice.
Plus their subwoofer extension cabinet idea is pretty nifty. If I ever want to play SYL style stuff, it would be really cool to be able to get this gigantic wall of sound by having two 15" subs blasting away at the same time as my 4x12

Anybody here have experience with the Knucklehead? How about the sub cabs? Cost notwithstanding, do you prefer the tone of the 5150 or the Rivera?

I haven't played the Tre, but I've played a Knucklehead II, and it sounded really, really good.

I'd love a TBR-1SL (rackmountable head) that Jason Bieler from Saigon Kick used to use. Yummy.
