Wonderful all tube, combo amplifier. Only selling as I've had a back operation and I've been told by the docs not to lift amps any longer (amp modellers for me I guess from here on)!

This thing sounds like a dream. From edge of break up stuff, to pristine, but rich detailed cleans through to classic rock stuff, this amp is the ultimate in tone and versatility. And as a pedal platform, this thing shines.

But aside of the sound, what I love about this amp is the options it gives you (without ever being complicated):

Clone the second channel as another clean channel (or just slightly more pushed) or of course driven hard as as a simple clean / dirty two channel set up.

Thick, normal or thicker for second channel setting revoices the mids.

100w / 50w toggle allows you to drive the front end of the amp at lower volumes. But this amp can get loud too!

Tweed / normal settings adjust the voicing / response of the amp

Switch between 6L6 or El34 tube types

Pick between classic spring or warm style reverb with separate amounts per channel

Rectification: 1 × Mesa 5U4 tube with Selectable Diode or Tube Rectifier Tracking (auto-matches rectifier mode to power setting).

Buffered or true bypass FX loop

Master volume, means you can drive the tubes hard without deafening yourself

The slave output is a really nice extra output connection to, allowing you to send a simple jack out straight to a PA, DAW or other without the need to mic it up if you don't want to.

Also has a unique SOLO switch, kind of like a boost built into your amp. Super handy.

There is a very small separation (not rip) on the Tolex between the chassis and the Tolex itself (see picture) and a few cosmetic nicks to the vinyl commensurate with an amp 20 years old. Other than that, this amp looks in great shape.

All in all, this thing, oozes class. Boogies, just do. It sounds amazing, responds to your playing like a dream and there's never been a gig or session this hasn't delivered on.

Comes with 4 original wheel castors for easy transport, original footswitch and extra long (stage length) kettle lead.

Collection from Central London (WC1) or can post for £25.
