Hey guys, this is my own amp that I have used for years with my band, its given me the most fun ive ever had, but since ive moved it's too big for me to own and too loud. This amp needs space and room, it has the most clean headroom out of any amp you will ever play, if you play a strat you need to play a fender bassman. I've kept it in good condition through many gigs and parties and never dropped it or damaged it. I brought it to an amp tech right before I decided to sell it and there was nothing wrong with it, he just found some cold solder joints that he touched up. I've retubed it because the original ones went bad and I really hope it goes to a good home. These are better than the newer LTD version because the blue eminence speakers are way warmer and not as tinny as the LTD Jensens. If you're a gigger or have a really nice jam room, this amp will perform better than any boutique amp you own. It's the perfect canvas for pedals and the tube saturation is to die for. The sweet spot on this amp is between 3 and 4 trust me, its an amp that needs to be played at that level, any less and you wont get its full potential. Okay now lets get to the EQ. so the amp is a mid range amp and I know some guys who turn the treble and bass to 0 and mids to 12. The midrange sounds amazing, and controls the full 300-2k HZ its really prominent and is the best mids out of any amp I own. ( I have a few DR.Z amps) The bass eq knob is not even a bass eq knob its more like a compression knob. The amp has alot of bass in the circuit so once you turn the knob past 5 or 6, it stops adding warmth and literally compresses your tone, no really its awesome. This is the amp that hendrix played through and what inspired jim marshall to create the marshall amps. Thanks for looking, the tubes i put in are basically the same as they came with, just a better manufacturers.

The amp jewel does not light up when you turn the amp on so the bulb has to be replaced, i can send pics of it if you'd like its like 1$. I've included some extra fuses with the amp because i've blown a few and kept a bunch handy in case it happened during a show.
