History:
Purchase: I bought this amp thru a local shopper ad for $60.00, along with two old CTS 12" speakers. I have been playing for over 35 years and my first really good amp was the Sunn Concert Lead. I bought that one from Bob Hiel of talk box fame at his shop in Marissa, Illinois. I remember it being really loud, which is what i was after at the time. The one i have now is in pristine condition and the sound is very good indeed. I have owned countless amps over the years and have developed a good ear for tone as a result. I know it is not cool to use a solid state amp these days, but i must say as an owner of many vintage tube amps, this thing holds it's own. I am not the least bit ashamed to use it on gigs. It has a very sweet clean sound on the reverb channel that suits my style. I run it thru a Jenkins Highway 61 cab. What can i say, it brings back fond memories, it was dirt cheap, and it sounds good!!! These amps are very underated and can be had for cheap. I believe them to be one of the best deals out there for a high quality amp that is obviously built like a tank.
