Hey there, ya'll! This retro-styled Guitar Research VL-20 in rockin' red is in excellent condition, with only minor blemishes. She's the big sister to the more common VL-10 and runs at 19 watts. You get a three-band EQ, overdrive switch, gain control and a volume control. Also a headphone jack and, somewhat unusual for an small amp like this, you get a footswitch jack too. Controls are on top, mostly closed back, four sturdy rubber feet, and a LED power indicator. Megatone speaker; about 8" I reckon. Approximately 12" x 12" x 6.5" and about 13 pounds.
The VL-20's got a cool, unique look and a practical design. Unlike a lot of amps this size, the clean sound is on the darker side. Dark, but clear and not muddy. With my Joe Barden equipped Thinline Tele, the clean sound starts breaking up around 6 on the volume knob and it's not a bad distortion sound. The overdrive switch delivers cray-cray distortion and, if you want, plenty of compression and feedback. For recording purposes in some situations, it can actually be pretty useful to the get that kind of feedback at a relatively low volume.
Thanks for stoppin' by and holler if ya got questions.
