I purchased this amp used in ~2008 in mint condition. Since then it's
only been played occasionally in my house, never gigged with.
This is a amazingly well built amp. The amplifier is completely built in
the USA and made by hand. The custom transformers are huge, the wiring
is point-to-point and uses high tolerence resistors and Sprague Orange
Drop capacitors. It's built like a tank.
It has a fresh set of tested and balanced Mullard (current production) EL34 tubes and the bias has been set.
The Sound. If you've ever played a Plexi into a load, so you can turn
the amp up and get that power tube saturation, it has that soft bottom
end and great mid-range. This amp is similar except it has a ridiculous
amount of pre-amp gain. It's kind of a modern high-gain Plexi. Very cool
sound.
Head will be properly packed and shipped insured to the lower 48.
