Ok, this is a MX-60 Birdie (later called Loco) amp.
I have no idea when it was made, somewhere from 79-89,
This works as a great Harmonica Amp...stinks for guitars...
It has a high and low input, headphone jack, and line out,
at 4 lbs, not much...maybe tweed instead of vinyl...
With an Astatic JT-30, and an adapter from www.jt30.com...this thing is very loud...we are talking small club loud!
I give it a 7 for what it is...a less than $50 harp amp that weighs 4 lbs.
Sound Quality
:
9
this thing honks...dude...the tone is great (ok the awesome mic does help here...
the reason it sucks as a guitar amp, is that anything lower than the a string buzzes the amp...
she does hiss, like a feminist in a gun show, ok, not that bad...
she distorts at just the right spot using the JT-30...
I give it a 9 for harmonica, 2 for guitar...
Reliability
:
7
I can totaly depend on it...come on, I own two and can fit both in a backpack, so I have a backup anyway...
this is not a new amp...old, mocked, disguarded, but it will work, too simple to break easy...but remember, its almost a 20 year old practice amp...

um...I think the company would disavow knowledge of this thing...
Overall Rating
:
10
ok...um Bass for 8 years, harp for 1, guitar...lets just say I should stick to bass...
If it were stolen, I would laugh...they couldn't hock it, or use it with any success unless they played harp...then I would see if I could shoot them twice before they heard the shot...(I am kidding...I would sue...for 25 dollars...hahaha) I would go but another one on a weeks lunch money...
I use Lee Oskar harps, and an Astatic JT30...I also have a Martin D15, Kramer '86 American Berreta, epi Flamecat, carvin lb75, Zeta crossover bass, yamaha '86 4 string, SWR super redhead...um lots of other stuff...
Again...great for Harmonica's, crap for guitar...
