I've had this from new. It's the first Aviator Martin built and I got it in 2008/9. It's been well looked after and has served me well, but I'm not using it any more as I'm using a smaller amp these days. 2 channels, reverb on both, 30 watts, 1x12, with JAN 6L6WGB valves, Celestion Gold, cream tolex, oxblood grille. The original Mercury Magnetics mains transformer failed and was replaced a few years ago with the equivalent Hammond transformer by Martin. The Mercury Magnetics output transformer code FBFVV stands for "Fender Black Face Vibroverb". Cathode or fixed bias, with "Vibe" control, which I think is adjustable negative feedback. Comes with extra 2x10 baffle (unloaded), if tens are your thing. When I get chance I'll make a little video clip. Located in Bury, Lancs.

    This is probably the most stupendous bargain of all amps on the Fretboard this year. I'm surprised it's even still here.

    Anything Gartone made will make somebody very happy.
    The guy makes fantastic amps but is a bit rubbish at marketing himself/his produce . My Bluesman is just exceptional ;it sent my J20 to the classifieds pretty rapidly but he just hasn't got the same marketing behind it to generate the cache of the name.
