FS Wienbrock Gringo Head with Master Volume and Half Power Switch £500 Notts or Weymouth Collection
A good friend is visiting soon from Weymouth. So quickish sale could mean collection from Weymouth
Wienbrock Gringo Head - Handwired of course -
The quality of Rob Wienbrock’s amps is well known on here, so I shall refrain from stating the bleeding obvious……
One of the later iterations of the ME3 series which morphed into the Gringo series and you can see from the gut shot below the design progressed quite a bit from the earlier versions.
The other added feature is the Master Volume and half power switch that was added after market by the wonderful modulus amps

Don’t know if the link will work but if you google Wienbrock Gringo Modulus Amps you will find it easy enough
The master volume means good tweedy tones, perfectly achievable in any setting, even indoors without risking an eviction order
It is so good some may not bother with the the half power switch, but it does offer some added, flexibility and usability late at night at home, for example. This half power switch has been recently replaced and the circuit further modded by Old Amps to offer more reduction in volume and still maintain tone.
Quite a chunk of change was involved with this visit to the amp doctor, In addition to the half power mod, 2 new matching output tubes JJ 6L6GC I’ve been fitted and all aspects of the circuitry and pots/Switches attended to So it truly is firing on all four cylinders giving lovely Tweedy tones across a variety of volume contexts
No disrespect to the amp doctor, They can’t help being in demand, but as it took some time to get fixed, typical of me, I have bought something else, which whilst in some respects is not as good as the Wienbrock, I bought New and would lose a significant amount if I sold that instead
And in fairness, I didn’t have an amp at all, so perhaps I can be forgiven
anyhow, in view of this fully Serviced and improved functioning and wanting to at least get something of the bill back, I’m looking for £500 for the Wienbrock
A few light marks but nothing troublesome

Mug of tea awaits in Nottingham for a good strum and a chinwag - a meet in the usual fretboard car park is possible if not too far away

Personal taste and all that but I don't get on with 10" amps, a couple of 2x10 I have tried are fine but I am mostly a 1x12 person (when I was young and healthy considerable more than 1x12..
Amended listing thanks to your good self.
