  2. Band: Early-mid 90's

  3. Model Year: -----

  4. Price Paid: eBay special $425 w/ship

  5. Performance

  6. Straight forward easy to use — 10. Same maintenance as all tube amps — 7.5. But aren’t tubes worth it? Whole lot of amp for the price.

  7. Performance Rating: 8

  8. Sound Quality

  9. This amp excels at Santana’s warm leads (the only reason I purchased it.) Send your clean signal somewhere else the clean has a little too much bite when turned up to 10. Compression and a volume pedal correct it but take away from conveying the nuances I love about the lead. The tweed should give it away that you will not be playing Metallica on this amp — the crunch is just a little too shy.

  10. Sound Quality Rating: 8

  11. Construction

  12. Birch ply, solid.

  13. Construction Rating: 9
