Apparently very loud! The GK 250ml was amp for the guitars on Irons Maidens Somewhere in Time album.
They seem to have a cult following.
Yes, along with some other big names, like Gilmour, Sambora, Lifeson, and Van Halen (for practice). :thumbup:

I bought one too after seeing Gary Moore using one in a studio. Sold it shortly after to Bill Nelson who still has it.

That's the name I forgot to include. Funnily enough, one he used to own is listed on reverb: https://reverb.com/uk/item/72699199-gal ... -black?bk=

A Whammy. One of those things you don't really want to pay for, but there's 3-4 songs that just require full WHAM. It will be true bypassed - I'm not that fussy but I have had one before and recall obvious tone-suck-age

Decided I'd like to try a pair of open back headphones, didn't want to spend a lot of money so had a look at the budget end of things, these seemed to be the best balance of price / performance... and a bargain at 50% off on amazon at the moment!
