This is a new (purhased about 1 year ago) 40watt amp that still has the hang tags and plastic on the placard. It is in perfect condition and barely used. This is an amazing tube amp with controls that go up to '12' and is fully original with a 12" speaker. A couple of years ago, this amp received Guitar Player magazine's coveted "Editor's Pick" award largely for its stellar clean tone. If you've heard that classic Fender clean, you know the sound. Add some genuine Fender reverb, built-in, along with more attitude, try the 'Drive' and 'More Drive' settings. These add layers of distortion that some critics liken to a classic Marshall tone. The amp handles distortion pedals well, and has an effects loop that's great for modulation effects like delay, chorus, trem, etc. Plug in a Strat, you can get all those classic tones from Hendrix to SRV. With humbuckers, you can do clean jazz, mildly distorted blues (Clapton) or more modern rock tones. Add a compressor and your favorite Tele and you're half way to Bakersfield. If you are playing a Tele style guitar, watch out for the bright switch...with the treble and presence dimmed AND bright engaged, you can almost decapitate yourself. Dave at 345-4465.
