CONDITION: This amp looks just as good as it did back in 1968 and has been maintained throughout its history with the utmost care and respect. Tolex, grill cloth & hardware are all without any defect, stains, tears, burns, etc. All interior electronics(the valves, transformers, caps, & wiring) are also ultra clean. There may be a few dog hairs floating around on the exterior from our beagle boy Ace, but this will be cleaned off prior to transfer. Speaker cab features 6 Original Sunn 12” diameter Transducer speakers for plenty of sonic air movement & transfer. There are plenty of years on this, although it is impossible to see and this rig could possibly be placed in a museum to highlight the killer, vintage amps of the late 1960's.
SPECIFICATIONS & FEATURES: This is a 120 watt (280 watts peak) single channel amplifier head having reverb & vibrato & includes 2 normal & 2 bright inputs, totaling 4 inputs. Both components feature original black Tolex covering & all original silver grille. Such an iconic look! It features a 9 tube chassis. The preamp section includes: 1 x 7025 1 x 12AU7 1 6AN8 The power section includes: 4 x KT88/6550 2 x GZ34 rectifier tubes.

There is also a midboost switch, a standby switch, a polarity switch & a power switch. Head dimensions are: 30" wide x 10" tall x 9.5" deep. The speaker cabinet includes 6 original 12" Sunn Transducer speakers in an infinite baffle design & is constructed of plywood. The cabinet measures: 30" wide x 48" tall x 15" deep & is supported by the original casters. Approximate weight of both pieces is 200 lbs. This Sunn model 1000S, was manufactured from the late 1960s to the mid 1970s. All things considered, this is a pristine example of possibly the most powerful, all tube guitar amp head & cab that Sunn ever produced, and it sounds equally as impressive as it looks.

**SPECIAL NOTE: It is with a very heavy heart that we wish to share the news of the recent passing on Dec 6, 2020, of our almost 12 year old red & white beagle, our beloved Ace. He was our mascot and namesake of this shop on Reverb.com. He gave us the initial inspiration to sign up with Reverb.com, primarily due to the name that we chose to use on this fantastic website. He was also the chief of security & official greeter for our bricks & mortar shop, always ready to engage with the customers; tail wagging, always happy & forever on the lookout for any ingestible treats that our customers wished to share with him as well as a nice butt or belly rub. Ace is, and will continue to be, very sorely missed by all who knew him. Our shop will never be the same without his presence. But, his intense spirit and joie de vivre lives on, through our loving memories of him and also via this wonderful platform online. Love the heck out of ya, Acie!!
