Hey Fretboarers

Excellent condition. Comes with the Vox cover and footswitch. Greenback.

Applied the mods from the Nik Player website last summer by Bristol’s Amploft who is a brilliant tech. It was serviced at the same time and needed a new rectifier tube. It has been running great ever since. 

‘Reducing the DC filtering capacitor values and using better quality caps.
Changing to better quality signal capacitors.
Adding grid stoppers to the Top Boost and Phase Inverter to avoid blocking distortion.
Reducing R17 to give more gain in the Normal channel.

These simple changes really liven up the amp and remove some the modern "stiffness" associated with too much DC filtering. All components should be replaced with voltage ratings no less than the originals.
