A mate's moving and wants rid of an old Hughes and Kettner ATS series amp he's got (pic to follow). It works fine and it's loud; he thinks it's 100 watts. From Google I get the impression that these amps have a SS clean channel and some sort of tube preamp on the dirt channel, but it's quite an old model and I haven't got time to do more googling. Anyway it's free to collect in Kentish Town/Holloway/Caledonia Road area. PM me if interested. ADDENDUM: He's just told me he's put it on Gumtree for fifty quid.

    Wow!
    If it's still around next week (currently out of the UK) I will send you a PM as my guitar player's valve amp is currently on the bench for repairs and he has no backup.

    Replied to Maynehead. His mate might be grabbing it but if that doesn't work out I'll let you know Byo.

    My mate just informed me he's looking for £50 now and has put it on Gumtree (see http://www.gumtree.com/p/other-guitar-accessories/rare-hughes-and-kettner-ats-series-guitar-amplifier/1098549225).

    At 50 quid it is still a bargain! I have already told my friend to get in touch.

    Bugger - if it wasn't in North London, I'd have torn his arm off.  Had one of those Mk1 ATS-120s for years as a backup amp, and it was a superb neutral clean pedal platform with stupid levels of headroom.  Sold it a couple of years ago and still miss the weird fuzzy thing.  Totally different from the Mk2 ATS which wasn't anywhere near as good.

    One of the worst drive channels I have ever heard, though, particularly if that EQ isn't working - shows that just shoving a couple of tubes in there doesn't automatically make it better. :))  

    Heavy bugger considering the lack of tubes, too - solidly built does not even begin to cover it.
    -- Before you ask, no, I am in no way, shape or form related to Fuzzdog pedals, I was Fuzzdog before Fuzzdog were Fuzzdog.  Unless you want to give me free crap, then I'm related to whatever the hell you like! --
