SOLD: Koch Twintone II 1x12 combo - price drop £450

What's Hot

edited April 2015 in Amps £

Koch Twintone II in excellent condition with footswitch and slip cover. This is a 50W 1x12 EL34-based combo with foot-switchable clean, OD and OD+ channels, plus foot-switchable master volume (great for a solo boost) and built in power soak. The power soak enables the amp to be run at either 50W or 22W, and there's plenty of clean headroom even on the lower setting.

I'm looking for £525, and would ideally prefer collection or would be happy to meet up within a reasonable distance (I'm based near Southend in Essex). I'd also be willing to look at shipping it within the UK - cost would probably be in the region of £25 for suitably insured delivery. Let me know if any questions.

    Bump - willing to ship if collection or meet up isn't practical.

    This is an astonishingly good amp.  Build quality is absolutely top notch and the three channels give pristine clean, touch sensitive crunch and all out drive.  I sold my Mesa because this was better in every respect.  Total bargain price.

    GLWTS.

    Thanks for the offer, but I'm completely sorted for amps and really need to clear some space at home

    I'm not really familiar with the Multitone to be honest - it looks like it's an older range that was discontinued as there doesn't seem to be any info about it on the Koch website. From what I can see from other websites the features are broadly similar, with the main difference obviously being that the Twintone is a 1x12 50W combo whereas the Multitone is a 100W 2x12 combo. They're both EL34 based.

    The 50W version certainly does the job live, as I have always used it on the 22W setting and have never had to take the volume over halfway with a loud drummer and without having to mic up.

    As regards pricing, it looks like Coda may have temporarily reduced the price of the Multitone as part of their January sale. Also it isn't clear whether the Multitone is version 1 or 2, so it's possible that we may not be comparing like with like. Certainly in the case of the Twintone there were some improvements between version 1 and 2.

    Having said all that I may be willing to be a bit flexible on the price of the Twintone.  :)

    Below are some specs for the Twintone II that I've copy-pasted from a retailer's website:

    • 4 x 12AX7 Preamp & 2 x EL34 Power tubes, 50 watts
    • Normal & Bright Clean inputs
    • 3 channels (clean, overdrive & overdrive +)
    • Passive bass-mid-treble tone controls for clean channel and separate presence-bass-mid-treble for overdrive channels
    • Solo/Rhythm facility providing two controllable volume levels for all channels and settings
    • Koch VG12-90 12” speaker (combo only)
    • Accutronics long tank reverb with level adjust and foot switchable
    • Parallel or Serial effects loops
    • Recording and headphone outputs
    • Built in ‘Power Soak’ (0, 25 or 50 watts output power)
    • 5-way footswitch included
    • Combo Dimensions 50 cm w x 28 cm d x 47 cm h
    • Weight Combo 25 kg

    Coda have the Multitone not the Twimtone for sale.

    I believe the basic difference is that the Twintone is fender voiced and the Multitone does modern tones

    From browsing through the forums the Multitone is highly regarded

    I'm not sure I completely agree with that. I can't comment on the Multitone but, whilst the clean channel on the Twintone II can certainly sound Fender-like, the drive channels (particularly OD+) have a more modern higher gain sound than the stereotype Fender drive.

    This is a real bargain. For anyone thinking of getting a Mesa F series or Express, simply don't, get this. Better built and sounding, really. I would have kept mine if I hadn't got the Twin.

    Thanks @Richardj ; :)

    I think this might be one of those brands where people don't realise just how good they are until they've tried one!

    Quite right. I now have Richard's Twintone and it is superb.... I've had a lot of Mesas and a few Rivera's too and this is up there with them.

    For what it's worth, earlier comments about the price of a Koch in Coda Music were relating to a sale item which I recently noticed had gone back up to £699 before disappearing from the website (presumably sold).
