    To have that distorted sound, the boy must be deaf.
    All we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us.

    I was really tempted by these, but I've read a few user reviews over on TGP from guys that say it's really in the same league as the 2014 Handwired series.

    Still tempted though!

    FWIW, the amps The Edge has been using on Innocence tour and Joshua Tree are HW2X rewrapped in black. I saw the back of the amps and the control panels. On TV appearances/ smaller shows, he'll use a fawn HW2X.

    Edge now is using the HW2X model as mysteriouswaysboy said, but is not the same amp as the 60th anniversary. There are small differences, but anyway I'm speaking about small things, the HW2 is a great amp very close to the original 60's amps with a better reliability expecially on the power section of the amp where the original vox have some critical points.

    The new reissue is a "clone" of an old JMI (like the Korg series) builded on turret boards style circuit with first choice components. The korg has the same circuit builded on PCB.

    Yes, it sounds great. One of the best "bell like" + mid-saturated tone
