This is a real rarity. Fully refurbished and ready to rock. Comes with custom soft purple cover. Due to the custom, over-built transformers and MDF wood cabinet, this head is extremely heavy! Amp shows signs of its 40 year life including some stains and rust spots, but has never seen water damage and is in great shape electronically and cosmetically. Designed by Bob Rissi, it has what’s been called a “Fender Showman channel and an Allman Bros style mod’d Marshall Superlead channel”, an outuput section powered by two KT88s and spring reverb. This is a very unique and quirky circuit. I’ve found it to be very thick/chubby sounding and it takes some work to dial in a great sound depending on your application, otherwise it can get muddy or buzzy. It definitely has that unmistakable real vintage amp sound throughout that even the best reproduction and boutique amps fail to capture. I’ve found this amp to be especially stellar for overdriven bass guitar. Inside the amp there is what looks like a mod, however, I believe this to actually be a factory revision or customization voicing, as these amps were made one at a time to meet the needs of a specific artists from what I understand and no stock schematic exists to check it against.
