PHYSICAL CONDITION: Very Good - For its age, the amp is in great condition. There are several light scratches on the top and bottom surfaces. The metal switches have some light oxidation. There is some residue from lines drawn on the knobs to notate settings, as well as "P" written on some knobs to indicate "pull" for those settings. The lines and p's have been cleaned off but are still slightly visible. Overall, the amp is fairly clean and in very good physical condition for its age. 

WORKING CONDITION: Very Good - The amp sounds great with any setting selected. This is an ultra-versatile preamp that can be used to get nearly any amp sound for studio or live use. Occasionally during testing, some of the pots on the second channel would get a little scratchy and need to be sprayed with contact cleaner or exercised back and forth, however, that is the only issue we found. Otherwise, the amp sounds and functions great! Overall, it is in very good working condition.
