If you want to research this amp, Pete Thorn has a video that showcases original. Look up “Mick Mars/Fortus” Pete Thorn, and you’ll see what this amp was modeled after. Chicago Music Exchange was involved with the sale of the original. Research that for information on original 73’ Marshall Super Lead “Jose”/”Dual Gain”.

I acquired amp directly from the source. The amp was stage played by Richard Fortus. There is plenty of “lore” behind this model, and several outfits have claimed they will release this amp. So far none have released , with only Voodoo Amps offering a mod. This amp is literally the source prototype and therefore is unobtainable (aside from the model I have , and another that is owned by the designer). 

All that said, meticulously detailed audio/video/photos will be documented upon transfer of this amp. If you want audio/video get at me at “thegearangle” at protonmail… can get solid clips of amp put through it’s paces. 

Thanks!
