Bought on impulse literally last Tuesday from Thomann. Tried it out, not what I was after. So it can be yours. It's as-new, in all original packaging, not a mark on it, barely half an hour of play in my smoke-free home. I also bought a new JJ 6V6s and a JJ 12ax7s for it from hotrox, the 6V6 rattles a bit at high volume but I understand a tube damper will sort that out or you can just use the stock tube.

Sounds the absolute tweedy business, but I bought it for a home amp and even at 6 watts switchable to 3 it's just a bit too loud (I like early breakup and these things have quite a lot of clean headroom). It's PTP handwired on a proper turretboard and everything, and there's a 50-page thread on tdpri about how guys love to mod them to all sorts.

New they're around £150 shipped from Thomann and that's £20 of valves there too so I'll let it go for £120 o.n.o plus shipping or you can collect from Preston Lancs.

Cheers ears!

    It's a lovely little thing but couldn't you just return it and get all of your money back?

    I could do, but sending to Germany is going to be a hassle and an expense, plus I no longer need the valves I got, so I wondered if anyone here would like to have it. If not I'll send it back.

    Edit: I'd also trade this for a real nice echo pedal of some sort.

    Ah, no thanks dude, I can't get my head around chorus effects.

    What about something like a Line 6 Echo Park? Essentially a DL4 in a smaller box. 
    Sarcasm is often hard to detect in writing. If in doubt - yes, I was taking the piss.

    Ive got the combo version of this and it really is a great amp, very pure sounding if that makes sense, lovely and simple and takes pedals brilliantly
