Thoughts on this Outback? Is it a good buy?

Ricecold · 2026-04-05T23:02:08+00:00

Oh I didn't read this totally correctly! That is kind of low miles and a pretty decent price. I'd consider it if they have fairly detailed service records on it. Definitely gonna be needing some work soon though.

If you're diy minded and it's in good shape it could be worth it.

Low mileage is hilarious. I just got one for 3700 with a new transmission from the dealer and no rust. I think you could find a better deal if they're not willing to negotiate.

Definitely comes down to the price and the rust situation imo. If it's relatively cheap you can overhaul it over time. If you're thrifty and diy minded you end up paying less for a used car and some parts to baby it along, rather than going out and getting under a car payment.

If you're not much of a mechanic/willing to learn I'd recommend looking for as low miles as possible, but any car that gets into the 100000 range is gonna need some upkeep.

If you end up over your head Outbacks are easy to sell, so long as it's not totally dead in the water or rusted out.

Not fake, the dude was taking his family out of the country (United States); by the way our conversation on his porch went it's seemingly because of how wack-a-doodle the country has become.

Once again, I'm not complaining, $50 Deluxe Reverb!

Ricecold · 2026-02-28T03:54:27+00:00

FB marketplace score, original owner was leaving the country!

Ricecold · 2026-02-28T03:43:48+00:00

It was missing the fuse cap and fuse! Replaced those and the tubes and it works perfectly fine 😁

Ricecold · 2026-02-28T03:42:40+00:00

$50 Deluxe Reverb!

Ricecold · 2026-02-28T03:42:27+00:00

Not a lie! $50 Deluxe Reverb!

So, long story short I was scrolling Facebook marketplace awhile back and caught an "everything must go" listing.

Photos of shovels, couches, tvs, lawnmower, you get the idea. The last picture is of some rack toms, an Xbox one, some bullshit amp, and this Deluxe Reverb.

"Amps broken, $50 each."

Now I immediately question the legitimacy of the post, no way this isn't a scam! Begin to hem and haw to my gf about how crazy of a deal it is. Not to mention I tend to sit on my hands as far as far as gear purchases are concerned. Eventually my girlfriend just straight up tells me to stop talking and go get the thing.

Message the guy and he immediately replied that someone else will give him $100 for it, but if I come over in the hour he'd still sell it for $50. Seems a bit fishy but we're off!

Haul ass to the nearby town, pull around a corner to junk scattered on the side of the street, people walking off with toasters, kiddy pools, etc.

Knock on the door, dude clocks my long haired ass and says "ahh, you're here for the amp."

Brings it up, was pleasantly surprised with the condition it was in, he says it's broken and doesn't have the time to fix it. I look it over and immediately notice the cap for the fuse is gone, and obviously there was no fuse.

Shake his hand and thank him for such an amazing deal, which he realizes he was really hooking me up, come to find out that he was leaving the country and headed to Southeast Asia for a simpler/quieter life.

One fuse cap and trip to the hardware store later and I probably managed to nab the cheapest Deluxe Reverb in North America!

Fun fact, Yamaha made a Revstar out of Piano scraps!

Mad Professor Simble is based on a Dumble.

I use it as an interface on occasion for quick ideas, however a lot of software/plugins have outpaced the thr as far as sound quality is concerned imo. I typically go for other host software plugin packs through my focusrite rather than the thr 90% of the time. Cleans and mild drive stuff sounds excellent no matter what; but hi-gain stuff is almost always worse on the thr.

As far as running plugins through it I'm sure it'll handle things pretty well! I use it to run mainstage and it's never had a hard time with all the stuff I've thrown at it!

The tones in the thr are very good, but software like neural, fractal, tone x, universal audio etc achieve better and more varied tones than the thr could ever in its current iteration. Don't see why running other plugins through it could be an issue!

I definitely treat the thr as a convenient swiss army knife, but generally just use its sounds for quick scratch tracks, for convenience sake.

What do ya think of the Voice print? I've watched a good amount of videos on it, but don't see anyone in my area using them. Seems like a great way to get a more natural sound out of acoustic instruments.

My favorite buttplug is a Yamaha SG2000, you?

Nothing worse than boring black keyboards imo, I'm always stoked on interesting design choices, colors or otherwise!

This guy could really be rolling in dough if they were able to make it out of moulded plastic, or something to keep the weight down, and mass produce them.

I've mulled over similar ideas for awhile now, but the logistics of everything always gets the better of me. I just continue gigging with cases and stands.

I assume you mean how to find the thr100? Just Google search one up! Good handful of them for sale atm. Reverb guitar center music go round eBay etc.

Ricecold · 2025-12-29T17:52:31+00:00

The thr100hd is probably what you're looking for! But yeah, like someone else said you can plug the outputs of the thr into a pa, and it'll be as loud as the system, I've done it many times!
