For Sale is my classic Vintage Tube Amp – Ampeg VT-60 : Made in U. By SLM Electronics, St. ” Considered by many to be a “Poor Man’s Mesa Boogie; due to it’s single 12-inch design and 3-Channel amplifier. Green Channel (Channel-C) covers Fender-like cleans with lush Reverb, Red Channel (Channel-A) kills Santana-esque’ creamy Overdrive and Gain (sustains forever); Yellow (middle) Channel (Channel-B) is my favorite for dialing in the perfect blend of each. (Don’t have the Footswitch), but switches easily on the front-panel with Push/Pull-Pots. Original Ampeg speaker is lush and thick sounding… Cosmetically VERY CLEAN from my pet and smoke-free home, not “perfect”, but darn close considering age – (made in late-80′s/early-90′s). Gotta’ love the “Drip-Edge” front baffle. LOL – I’ve owned this beauty about 10-years; only used for occasional “Practice” at low levels in my small bedroom. Haven’t used her at all in the last few years, (it’s way more amp than I need). Sounded fine the last time I used it – but upon testing today it has some “scratchiness” and seems to be down on power in the Green (and Yellow) Channels. (Red Channel seems to be pumping normally, but has the scratchiness mentioned). Had similar symptoms about six years ago – and was completely gone over and given a clean bill-of-health by legendary Amp Guru’ Dennis Kager at Central Jersey Music Service (I have the receipt). So, she likely needs the Pots cleaned and may need a Pre-Amp tube or two (price reflects the needed service). This amp sounds amazing – silky-smooth cleans; ultra milky, creamy grind – (and/or screaming sustain), lush Reverb; amazing “sag” and “Presence” response – (has Presence Control w/ Hi/Lo Damping switch on back-panel). Wish I could keep the old gal’ – but currently have little use for it; and I hate seeing such a classic amp go un-appreciated – so she needs a new home with an adoring owner, lol… Thanks for Looking and Reply if your interested or have any questions… The item “AMPEG VT-60 VINTAGE TUBE AMP GUITAR AMPLIFIER 3-CHANNEL REVERB MESA BOOGIE” is in sale since Monday, December 10, 2018.
