Ha! If I had that much money for "unnecessaries" I'd be buying a sportscar!

To the Gulf? Or are you back here? And (one final question) I thought you were waiting on a Bad Cat?

Absolutely fantastic.  The EF86 "channel" is literally what I've been looking for with every single valve amp I've ever had.  

I don't know if you know the Cub III but I need to get my head around the way all the controls interact. The EF86/12AX7 switch is basically a "chime" button, then the switchable tone knob flips between a simple 5-way rotary tone knob and the super-interactive Vox-esque Bass/Treble knobs, then the cut control works on everything, I think!

But within about 10 minutes I had the sound in my head that I've always wanted. I bought one of the first Laney VC15s about 10 years ago and always said that once I had any money to spend on an amp I'd buy something that was basically a no-compromise version of the same thing. This is that and then some. 

It's the closest thing I've ever tried to an AC30 at that magic point where clean and chime and crunch all combine based on your pick attack, and it's by far the best amp I've ever had. 

Unquestionably a keeper.

And it takes pedals SO WELL. My home-brew Rat and Stratoblaster both sound amazing on every setting, and when I can remember where I put my Hotcake I'm 99% sure it'll go back to #1 status.

Brilliant @stickyfiddle, sounds like it's a keeper!

I was really intrigued by the amount of switching options on the new CubIII's. I had a CubII years ago and it was horrible. I understand the new range are totally different though.

I've got a 'samson' Black Cat 30 2x12 with is the very basic DC30 style layout with the 2 totally separate channels and I've just picked up a 1x12 Black Cat 15R on here which is a 2014 model so interested to see how that compares.

I would have liked to have had one with the K Master as all i've spoke to rave about it, does it live up the the hype?

And, yes, I must also get a Hotcake!
