Sunn

My Concert Lead was a Silver Face. I KEPT the foot switch, and this amp is a Silver Face. Some folks think they're better, I do. For a 1972 MOSFET SOLID STATE CASCADING CHIP AMP IT HAS a killer Distortion sound to it I was truly astonished. IT SOUNDS BETTER THAN MODERN AMPS. I SOLD RON BUSH IN ST.LOUIS, MO. ALL MY SOLID STATE SUNN AMPS ( EXCEPT THE SUNN COLISEUM LEAD.320 WATTS RMS INTO 2 OHMS.I KEPT 2 BRAND NEW LOOKING AND PERFORMING. 1 1970 SUNN 1000S(KT88S) ON 1.5 YOU CAN'THEAR THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU, 1 1972 OR 1973 350L WITH 6550S( HAS SOLID STATE RECTIFIERS, WILL CHANGE TO 2 GZ34 LIKE 1000S.

THAT SILVER FACE CONCERT LEAD (1972) was one of my favorite amps. I really miss it. That one just has a kick ass sound too it.Concert Leads are definitely solid state and I heard nothing but compliments on it when it was cranked.

i walked into Earl Teat Music Store in Delmar DE. just to browse and this amp caught my eye. I was looking for a one piece amp. The salesman told me this amp was 800.00 full price on sale for 550.00 . I was told the store had a one year layaway. Needless to say I put 20.00 down on this amp!! This amp has great looks. A large 15 inch speaker looks like it is ready to blow your hair back. The controls are laid out well along with the rear plugs for accessories. The drive and level controls speak for themselves. THis amp is heavy and bulky. Its has mounts in it for wheels but they did not come with it. Two people are required to carry this amp for safety!! One can do it but is very hard and will make you walk funny... The amp is very well built with chrome steel corners over the black material covering the amp. There is no buzz at all at any volume. Its sounds good at any distance, on stage or off !! I really like this amp considering the price and reliabilty. I would recommend this amp to anybody...pro or novice. Of all the amps i have had in the past..this is one I will keep till I blow it !! This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

My old roommate ran off with my old crappy Squire stratacaster, so I took this from his moms house. It has "digital c mos technology"whatever that is. It's a sturdy head. I've droped it out the back of my tour van a couple times in a drunken stooper, and it's held up really well. It's a pretty basic setup that doesnt take a genious to work. Knobsw are big and fat. Easy to find in the dark. It does the job. I'm really a guitar player, but I play bass on the side. It's Got a rather generic sound. You can adjust the bass, treble, and middle, but I just can seem to get a funky twang out of it. it's a solid state bass amp (but arent they all). it has 2 channels A and B, 11 knobs, and doesnt take up too much space if you want something that works, but isnt special.. get this... I'm sure you could find it at a pawn shop for 100 dollars of so. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Purchased on e-bay for about $850, if I remember correctly. What do I like? Everything. This thing has balls. It's 50 watts of pure tube power. Whether you have the unit cranked or down low the amp rings through clean and clear. tons of power to easily play a small to medium gig. There's nothing I don't like about this unit. It's the greatest amp for the price. Built like a tank. The thing must weigh 80 pounds. I've bumped it, tripped over it, spilled beer on it and it keeps on coming back. If you're looking for a solid tube amp with tons of power in the $1000 price range, i don't think you can go wrong. The Sunn T-50C ROCKS! I've gigged with it, mic'd it and recorded with it and more. It's an excellent sounding amp with plenty of power for just about any use you can imagine. Also, the gain gets really warm and sweet after the amp has warmed up. You've just got to love it!!
