Here we have a very very special Amp. This was a custom build Ac 30 clone prototype that was built for Matt Bruck of Van Halen Fame. I know this to be a fact because I spoke to Doug personally. This is hand wired and it is virtually component for component an tube rectified AC 30 top boost. Here's the kicker though it has more gain and basically just more of everything. It's just got something really special going on that I can't describe. I'm sure it has to do with the transformers. This is a very loud Amp. Definitely not a bedroom Amp. But then again none of Doug's amps are. I've played many amps that he's made at one time or another and this was to me the best one I've ever played. Amp is in excellent condition I tried to take a pictures of some of the nicks in the tolex. They're on the back and the sides and not visible from the front. I'm somewhat of an expert on amps and I can tell you if you are looking for a very unique special Amp look no further. It has this amazing Vox flavor with a little bit of mojo on top. Head cabinet is built for Doug by Kerry Wright and these are extremely well made and sought after by some collectors. Couple things to make note of. The bass control works the opposite of the way you think it would which should be very obvious but it's the way it is you'll notice when its clockwise it's all the way down. The switch next to the power is not standby at the polarity. This amp does not have a standby Switch. This amp is a Tone Beast and can take on many personalities depending on the cab you run it through, we have a fantastic 63 AC TOP BOOST and running through its speakers it nails it only better. Running through a vintage Marshall 4-12......can do that JTM 45 thing as well. Killer amp !!
