Features

120 watt solid state with built-in reverb and tremolo.
2 channels, no channel switching.
Hi and Lo inputs for each channel.
Ampeg said it's about 20 years old.
Made in the USA, good internals (Sprague and Mallory caps)
Toggles for Mid and Hi eq.
I wish it had channel switching, but the footswitch is missing anyway.
Sound Quality
:

I'm using a fender cyclone (rewound hum/sing) and a gibson lp custom (hum/hum)and running it through a cutom 212 cab with peavey scorpions.
No gain control means SUPER CLEAN.
Nice reverb, very clear and shimmery.
I never use the tremolo, it's kind of cheesy.
VERY loud. i've never had it past 4 and i've played 1000 seat venues with it.
Reliability
:
9
It's never let me down...and i've yet to have it serviced.
It does 'pop" something awful when it's fired up.
It's built like a Sherman...i'd be more worried about how much damage it could do to other things than how much they could do to it.

It's old, but ampeg has been swell trying to get me info on it.
Overall Rating
:
No Opinion
I'd like to have it recapped and thoroughly cleaned, but i'll need more money. it's pretty toneful for an old solid state. i doubt anyone would try and steal it, it's HEAVY and looks nothing like an expensive head. if you see one, they're pretty cheap and you should buy one.
