!!!**CAUTION**!!! Members of this forum under 18 years are better not look this link, there are women with little clothes on!!! (Thanx for that wayback machine link, forum members)

Just wonderin if there is more info bout this transistor amp.  I remeber I opened my amp and the amplifier circuit board was in the bottom of the box. In the Dirt Road pic there is only what I believe is mains transformer. And if I remember well the speakers were not celestion greenbacks.

:oops: Well maybe if you hire a woman with few clothes and have her on stage with you all the time no-one notices that your Freedom Amp does not look as big and sexy as Marshall stack :oops: But dunno what female audience thinks... :roll: It is illegal to use women as sex objects in advertising, but I don´t complain... as long as my doughters stay out of worst kind of pictures...

So the EH story continues, which is very nice thing. Creativity and strong continuing research and development must be the strong cornerstone of the company.

But remembering that Gallien-Krueger boom few years ago there might be new potential for amps like Freedom. I think one of the reasons I traded my amp was because I was not happy with because it was so clean, but that is no problem nowadays. As small as physically possible, loud enough to work with live drummer, cheap and portable, and strong and reliable... What do you need more?

:twisted: Maybe two women dancing on stage with few clothes on  :twisted:
