MJW Roadstar 36 FS with matching 2 X 12 cab (will split) Price Drop (still available)

What's Hot
wineredwinered Frets: 77
edited September 2023 in Amps £
I bought this amp second hand in 2016. The vinyl covering was slightly tatty and I already had an MJW 2 x 12 cab in red snakeskin so I got Martin Whelan at MJW to recover the amp to match the cab as well as checking it over.
He sent me pictures of the amp when it was new (2010) on his bench
The amp is in good condition still, the cab is not bad but it has a few small rips. The speakers in the cab are Tayden True Brits - 50 watts each. It is 16 ohm mono or  stereo 8 ohms. I put tape over the stereo input so I didn't accidentally plug into it in a dark venue. I bought this cab via eBay from Martin Whelan himself, it had been his personal cab I believe.
The amp has 4 EL84 Sovtek output valves, 3 JJ ECC83 pre amp valves and a JJ GZ34 rectifier.
It has a boost switch on the front panel but this is not footswitchable.
Hopefully someone will want the amp and cab as a matching set but I will split if necessary.
Amp £600 £575 £550
Cab £250  £225 £200
They both come with a cover.
Collection from Leicestershire.

Cheers, Martin (not Martin Whelan)

    Thanks for the kind words ennspek - I'm sure I'll miss it if it sells.

    Awesome . . . Martin made some superb amps . . . Nice bloke too :-) 
    Id just like to point out that, despite all the video and DNA evidence, it genuinely wasn't me, your Honour  !

    Anyone interested now? I have done a gig or two with the amp since I took the pictures but it is still in the same condition. Cab might be a bit more dusty.

    Amp and cab still available if anyone interested. The amp has had a new rectifier valve fitted. The old one didn't blow, it was preventative maintenance. The amp has done a couple more gigs since May, the cab's not been used.

    Wonderful amp. Great pedal platform on the low input but can also deliver the sound of our lord when cranked up without pedals. Don’t worry about the lack of an effects loop you won’t miss it with one of these.

    Somebody should really buy this. I miss mine but I’ve got way more amps than I need.

    My mate tried mine and was just left pointing at it saying “that’s the sound! That’s the sound in my head”

    It is indeed a lovely amp, Musteatbrain. Unfortunately I too have somehow ended up with more amps than I need.

    There was some interest but nothing came of it, so still for sale.
