This is one of my favorite amps...the SUNN Enforcer.

I always wonder how much more morphing would have occurred if Hartzell had lived ?  ( or if Sunn itself would have remained viable ?  Even Ted had an Enforcer.

Yep.  I wish at least Fender had seen fit to add this one to their line instead of flush in.  On the other hand, there are less than 150 of them (they were int heir 3rd run of 50 when they shutdown production) so a rare bird.

Ted had a deal with SUNN in the 80's promoting the amp under the name of Penetrator (magazine ad pictured in a different thread in this topic category).  Then they also made 4 Penetrators in Camo for Ted.  I understand he kept two of them and raffled off the other 2 at a Texas concert.  Here is a picture of one of the two that he gave away. I acquired in 4 years ago.
