Lee Jackson XLS-1000 100W 2-Channel Tube Combo Amp 1994 USA-Made Horizon Cape Girardeau w/ Footswitch

Description:
This is a 1994 Lee Jackson XLS-1000, a 100-watt two-channel tube combo built during the original short-lived Lee Jackson Amplifiers manufacturing run at Horizon Music in Cape Girardeau, Missouri (serial #9422807). Lee Jackson built his reputation modding and building amps for artists including Zakk Wylde, George Lynch, and Steve Vai, and the XLS-1000 is his own ground-up circuit design combining a clean Fender-style channel with his take on the hot-rodded Marshall 2203/JCM800 sound — not a modified Marshall chassis, but a proprietary Jackson design in that tonal tradition.

Features include: Channel I (clean) and Channel II (drive) with independent EQ, 5-way Frequency mid-shift control on Channel II, Presence and Level controls, an all-tube footswitchable effects loop with send/return level trim pots, and Manual Tube Attenuation (MTA) power scaling to get overdriven tone at lower volumes. The power section is self-biasing and accepts EL34, 6L6, 6550, KT77, or KT88 tubes with a flip of a switch.

Includes the original two-button Lee Jackson "Amp Switch" footswitch (Channel / Effect-Rev). Speaker has been replaced with an Eminence Legend V1216 (16-ohm, 120W) — not the stock speaker, but a solid, current-production driver. Fully tested in perfect working order.
