And that sound we will be posting a sound clip tomorrow !!! ONLY THE AMP AND ROADCASE IS INCLUDED IN THIS SALE ANY OTHER ITEMS IN THESE PICTURES ARE NOT INCLUDED !

From the web : The Goodsell Black Dog 50 is a hand-wired, boutique tube amplifier designed by Richard Goodsell that delivers vintage British-inspired "Plexi" tones. It is unique for using cathode biasing with EL34 power tubes, allowing users to swap tubes without manually re-biasing the amplifier. YouTube +3Technical SpecificationsAccording to listings on Reverb and manufacturer data from Goodsell Amplifiers:

  • Output Power : Rated at approximately 45 watts , though some users note it pushes closer to 30-35 watts due to its cathode-biased design.
  • Tubes : Typically features two EL34 power tubes and two 12AX7 preamp tubes.
  • Biasing : Cathode biased , which is described by Goodsell as a "secret sauce" for its specific sound formula.
  • Rectifier : Most models use a Solid State rectifier for a tighter, more aggressive response.
  • Impedance : Switchable 8 or 16 ohms with two speaker output jacks.
  • Weight & Dimensions : The head weighs 25 lbs and measures 25.75" W x 9.75" H x 8.25" D.

Key Features & Tone

  • Plexi-Style Gain : Designed to bridge the gap between a vintage JTM45 and a more modern JCM800. Reviewers from Premier Guitar describe it as having "roiling, ballsy low-mid crunch" ideal for 70s rock.
