So I've had a hole in my heart for a 70s Yamaha for a bit. I've also been trying to find a small practice amp situation for my little practice area. I tried a Mustang Micro and a Spark Go, neither of which satisfied me. I decided I want a real amp.
Then I saw this G5 on Reverb for cheaper than they usually go so I snatched it up. The back panel is missing and it had scratchy pots until I took care of that problem... It sounds great, even has some overdrive when you turn up the pre-volume and a real reverb tank.
I have a question for those more familiar with this era of amps: Can I take the headphone out and use it as a direct in? My gut says no, that's an amplified signal. Am I right?
