Selling my old standby, a super rare Lexicon Signature 284 amp. This unit was designed to give you great low to high gain amp tones, using real tubes, at recording levels. It has great cleans and great distortion. Read far and wide about it online, it gets rave reviews from everyone. This is the rarer Magic Eye edition, with a cool green light that responds to your picking and gain level. I just had my amp tech go through it and make sure everything was tip top. It looks great, hasn't been beaten up or abused. I used it on guitar, bass, rhodes and wurli. I'd keep it, but need to fund other purchases! Get that classic Class A tone!

Here is how tonereport describes them in their 4 best rack mounted amps ever article:

"This amp is a genuine anomaly in the world of tube power amps, in that it was built by Lexicon, a company known more for top-shelf digital delays than tube amps, and it was released in 1998, well beyond the apex of the rack era. It is also strange in that it was a three-watt per side, EL84-based design that was geared towards recording rather than high volume stage rocking (though it could get rather loud when cranked). The Signature 284 was dreamed up for Lexicon by renowned tube amp guru John McIntyre, and it features a 12AX7-based preamp, three-band EQ, a presence control, and independent left and right volume controls. The back panel has speaker outs, slave outs, XLR direct outs with speaker emulation, and a stereo effects loop. The speaker and direct outs could even be used at the same time, which created a lot of options for recording. Pushing in its Gain knob resulted in a surprisingly molten high-gain tone that was available at a very reasonable volume, but it could also achieve a brilliant clean, or gently driven tone. Unlike the average rack amp, the Signature 284 was absolutely gorgeous to behold, with a gloss black faceplate, understated logos, chicken-head knobs, and an overall air of classiness and quality that is missing from most rackmount gear. The Lexicon Signature 284 is a fairly rare bird, infrequently showing up on eBay, Craigslist, and other used gear buying venues."
