Man I'd love to have one of those in my shack. What does the 1x2 run...about $500-600? Sorry if I'm being too nosy but I never see any pricing for Dave Made amps.

For information here are the prices I was able to find on the internet from a reputable place (not a sponsor so I won't name them even though I should be able to but anyhow)

Davemade Amps:

M40 1x2290 - $155
M80 2x2290 - $160
Funker 2x2879 - $210 (no fan)
2x2879 with fan - $230
M200 1x2290 x 2x2879 - $280
M400 1x2290 x 4x2879 - $385
M400se 2x2290 x 4x2879 - $430

same deal from this dealer as other ones though, takes 10-14 days to get your amp

just wanted people to know what davemade amps really bring because like the guy earlier said it's rare to see pricing on them
