Roland BOLT-60 Tube Amp 2-Channel 60-Watt 1x12" 1982【 About This item 】Roland's BOLT series tube amps were only manufactured for a short period of time.Legendary blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan was a devoted user of the BOLT-60.Given his love for the Tube Screamer and Vibroverb, it's easy to imagine he would have instantly fallen for the Roland BOLT's sound. The sound of the Roland OD-1 circuit making a tube amp roar must have set his Texas blood boiling!In 1979, Roland launched the BOLT series. ( The 30-watt BOLT-30 and 60-watt BOLT-60.)These were specifications that set them apart from the competition.The Roland Bolt 60 features a power amplifier section that is a complete clone of the Fender AB763 circuit, utilizing 6L6GC x2 power tubes and 12AT7 x1 inverting tube.Volume controls feature two channels: Clean and Overdrive, switchable via the front panel or a footswitch. It incorporates a spring reverb, also switchable via the footswitch. The effects loop includes a select switch allowing you to choose where the effect of any external effects connected is applied.The speaker is equipped with Roland's own high-performance 12-inch (30cm) speaker.【 About Sound 】The sound is a coexistence of the “good graininess typical of tube amplifiers” and the "good separation typical of Roland". The design of the amp is such that it does not sound unnecessarily round and sweet, even though it is a tube amp.This is especially noticeable in the clean sound of the Normal channel.When the volume on the guitar side is turned down a little, it feels as if you are really playing an acoustic guitar. The graininess and clarity of the sound is probably the reason for this, and combined with the comfort of the spring reverb installed in the ceiling of the amp, it is the most comfortable sound possible.The Overdrive channel has three volume settings, which can handle everything from crunch to overdrive sounds. This channel can also be used to create a sticky overdrive sound. It is very convenient to switch channels with a footswitch.The original overdrive circuitry provides warm overdrive sound.Why? The answer, this circuit is the circuit of the rare pedal “Boss OD-1”.The “Boss OD-1” was released in 1977, followed by the “Boss SD-1” in 1981. In order to end sales of the Boss OD-1 accordingly, the Boss OD-1 circuit was used in the overdrive channel of the Roland BOLT series, which was released in 1979.Don't tell anyone ;)BOLT-60s this clean and in good condition are rare!【Specs】 ・Voltage：100V ・Output：60W (R.M.S) ・Speaker：12inch x1 (30cm) ・Tube：12AT7 x1, 6L6GC x2・Input：HI / LOW ・Controls：OVER DRIVE Vol-1 ,Vol-2 , MasterVol NORMAL Vol EQUALIZER - BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE, EFFECT - REVERB, EFFECT LOOP・Switch：POWER , STAND BY, Foot Switch (OVER DRIVE / REVERB) ,EFFECT LOOP・Jacks：PRE OUT / MAIN IN / HEAD PHONE ・Size：500 x 470 x 280mm ・Weight：24kgThe overall condition of the instrument is excellent.There are some signs of past use and age, such as dents.Condition of this amp is hard to believe it is 43 years old!NOTE:*Our amp ship tracked and insured.*Any import duties or taxes are buyer’s responsibility.
