CONDITION DESCRIPTION

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Amp head has been used heavily. Sporadic scratches throughout silver/chrome/reflective outer casing. Amp functions phenomenally. Amp is in good condition overall. Cosmetically it leaves something to be desired, but the amount of deep damage is minimal.

Very good condition for being 20 years old and such a scratchable surface!

THIS AMPLIFIER IS LISTED FOR LOCAL PICKUP. IF YOU WISH FOR IT TO BE SHIPPED, WE WILL PACKAGE IT AND CALCULATE EXACT SHIPPING. 100% OF SHIPPING COSTS WILL BE ON THE BUYER

Vintage Amp Models (8 Models)

1. Jazz Clean

• Tone Character: Chimey, articulate British upper-midrange bite that breaks up smoothly when pushed.

3. Blackface Lux

• Based on: 1964 Fender Deluxe Reverb.
• Tone Character: Warm, glassy American cleans with a smooth tube spring-reverb-style response and sweet edge-of-breakup.

4. Blackface Lux (Alt)

• Tone Character: Small, snappy, vintage tweed growl that gets dirty and responsive quickly when you dig into the strings.

5. Double Verb

6. Tweed B-man

• Tone Character: Ranging from warm vintage plexi-style crunch to aggressive mid-focused rock rhythm grit.

8. High-Gain/Boutique Vintage Foundations (e.g., Early Soldano/High-gain class legacy models)

• Based on: Coveted late-century vintage high-gain iron (like early SLO-style or hot-rodded classics).
• Tone Character: Fluid, singing lead sustain and heavier vintage saturation without modern razor-sharp digital fizz.

The 10 Modern Amp Models & Tones

  • Red: Criminal (Based on the Peavey 5150 MkII / high-gain metal architecture).
• Bomber Uber / Diezel/Bogner High Gain
• • Amber: Bomber Uber (Based on the Bogner Überschall, known for aggressive, saturated high-gain crunch).
