Published on 02/07/03 at 15:00I PURCHASED THIS AMP TOP FROM A FRIEND BACK IN 1988 AND I THINK I GAVE HIM $200 FOR IT. AT THE TIME I NEEDED SOMETHING REALLY QUICK THAT WAS FAIRLY LOUD.
I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT IS VERY LIGHTWEIGHT. IT HAS TWO CHANNELS, WITH A HIGH AND NORMAL JACK FOR EACH. iT ALSO HAS A NORMAL AND BRIGHT SWITCH FOR EACH CHANNEL. THE REVERB I THINK IS SPRING REVERB AND REALLY HAS A NICE SOUND. IT HAS QUITE A BIT OF POWER, I THINK ITS 100 WATTS.
IT DOES'NT HAVE MUCH BOTTEM END, THE TREBLE WILL KILL YOU IF YOUR NOT CAREFULL!
THIS UNIT I THINK IS A 1971 VINTAGE, IT IS ALL SOLID STATE,AND I USED IT AS A KEYBOARD TOP FOR AWHILE. ITS STILL WORKING OVER THIRTY YEARS SO IT CANT BE THAT BAD AS FAR AS CONSTRUCTION.
IF YOU LIKE A TOP THAT GIVES A GOOD CLEAN SOUND, THIS WILL DO JUST FINE. I PLAYED A 1967 VOX SEMI-HOLLOW BODY THRU IT WITH ONLY A 12" ELECTROVOICE SPEAKER MOUNTED IN A 15" PEAVY BASS CABENIT AND IT WAS PLENTY LOUD ENOUGH FOR ME,AND IT WAS ONLY TURNED UP TO ABOUT THREE. AT THE TIME IT WAS MADE,BASED ON THAT TECHNOLOGY BACK THEN, I WOULD HAVE RATED IT A FIVE. BY TODAYS STANDARDS, I WOULD ONLY SAY THAT IT IS LOUD, AND WOULD MAKE A GOOD LEAD TOP, IF YOU HAD SOME GOOD EFFECTS HOOKED UP TO IT. BESIDES, ITS NICE TO PLAY THRU DIFFERENT STUFF THAT NO ONE ELSE IS USING, THATS WHAT MAKES YOUR SOUND DIFFERENT AND INTERESTING!!
