I've decided to part with this as I really don't think I will get round to using it.

It's a fantastic sounding amp that is built like an absolute tank, it's reassuringly heavy for a compact amp, so you know its a well made thing.

The amp has 2 channels, clean and lead, although the clean channel can be pushed into a lovely old school crunch by raising the input volume.

The amp also has a gain boost, mid boost and a master volume boost built in which all work across both channels. There is also a lovely Spring reverb built in and a very nice serial effects loop.

The amp runs off four EL84 power valves, and one 12ax7 pre-amp valve.

This amp is LOUD, and it sounds best this way, so don't mistake this for a bedroom amp, it might be small but it's clear that this little amp was designed to be gigged. it sounds very big considering its size.

A pot has been added on the back by the previous owner to me to make the master volume boost variable, so you can have as much or as little volume boost across both channels as you desire. This is a really nice mod, and I'm told it was essential, as on the stock amp there is very little noticeable difference between the master volume settings.

Another bonus is the previous owner to me had a custom footswitch designed and built by Bright Onion Pedals. This allows you to control every single feature on the amp on the floor. It's a six way switch that allows you to:

Change channels

Activate the gain boost

Activate the mid boost

Activate the master volume boost

turn the reverb on and off

turn the effects loop on and off

The footswitch alone was £100+, it comes complete with the custom made midi cable as well.

The amp itself is in excellent condition and has recently been re-valved with JJ El84 valves, and a JJ Gold Pin 12ax7 pre-amp valve.

I'm looking for £350, price includes delivery via UPS24, or collect from Carlisle.
