but this just seems such a good value, and nobody wanted it???
so, i did it again. where in the world are you gonna find such a rich-sounding 50-watt point-to-point 2x12 amp in top shape for $400?
this is one of those 'dual output' amps that i've been trumpeting lately - where each speaker is fed by it's own output section! you get some wonderfully complex overtones... from compressed cleans , to Marshallesque overdrive.
yes... that's FOUR 6L6GB output tubes! i can't tell if they're old RCA's or new JJ's
they both have the star-pointy micas...http://www.ebay.com/itm/331660695878" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
my original justification was that my first one is 100% original and just wonderful, and a great studio amp, but would suffer physically from gigging. these are Danelectro-style pressboard cabinets... so i'd like to keep my OG Medalist in solid shape for the long haul. this new one, as described, looks the part very closely but has undergone a cab rehab that is not quite as precious as the original, so i don't mind risking that Marshall-style basket weave grill on stage or in transit... that stuff is easy to get. but i would be crushed if my original grille got snagged on something, it's so 50's golden wheat... i've never seen anything like it as a replacement part - here's my OG:
original handle and all that... so, yeah
one of the few of my amps that i've never gigged! but still such a winner.
