That's my listing in the B/S/T thread. Might be a possible deal pending.
However, I thought I'd add a bit of info about the Hovercraft stuff. Seems like most of the amps they offer are "re-built" Jet City and Peavey amps. The Dwarvenaut is based on a Jet City 20 watt head. Some of the higher wattage heads are re-built Peavey Windsors. I'm not sure of all of the specific mods that are performed, but compared to the stock JC amp, the Hovercraft has a lot more gain, bottom end and more control over the presence and resonance.
The one I have has an added "FAC" control and is voiced like an old Orange, but I think they build some that are voiced like Marshalls as well.
I believe there's only one guy involved with the company...can't remember his name at the moment. He builds amps in small batches and does most of his marketing through his facebook page. Seems like a decent dude from what I've heard. I just happened to find my amp used and decided to check it out. No complaints or issues with the amp...just have too much other gear and thinning out the herd at the moment.
Pretty cool amps for those who live on the fuzzier, doomier side of the tracks.
