edited September 2023 in Amps £
Sold to yet another fretboard owner!

Lack of use makes me question why I have this, until I play it. So grab it while I l'm not playing it. Bought from someone here. Original reverb listing below. Photo is current. 5e3/champ with valve spring tank reverb 

This was custom built for me to include a half power mode for home use.It is a Fender Deluxe style amp with one normal and one bright input and the inclusion of a foot switchable spring reverb. Hand built by Rift Amplification with all point to point wiring. Valve complement is 2 x 6v6, 1 x 12ay7, 1 x 12at7, 1 x ecc83 and 1 x 5y3 rectifier.
It's a Rift Americana LP with a power rating of around 14watts and I had it custom built with a half power switch by pulling out the tone control knob.
The speaker is a Wharehouse Black and Blue. excellent condition having only been used at home"

It comes with the footwswitch for the reverb and the little brown guide book from Chris and amp cover.

Collection only south Manchester.

    we can talk about shipping. I just worry if you are buying a high value item, its better to come and try it and make sure you are happy first, rather than paying money to some random stranger and then risking being ripped off. I wont, and its perfect, but then I would say that.

    Have you got any examples of what it sounds like? There's nothing on the web apart from an andertons video which folks say doesn't do it justice.

    I had an Americana on order when I first heard that Andertons video and was ready to pick a different amp afterwards. I had a chat with Chris about it, he totally put my fears to bed and I can 100% vouch that these amps sound nothing like that video! 

    They are packed full of Tweedy goodness and have a response that’s faster and more alive than any other amp I’ve played.

    100% agree Dazza, tons of tweedy goodness and super articulate and touch sensitive, one of Chris’s best (mind you they’re all top notch)

    This really should be long gone. I think much nicer to play than all the obvious and lazy options
