Classic jazz club amp. Got it in a mucic pawn shop in Toronto 1999 for 280 dollars. 2 completely redundant channel strips (hi gain, low gain)Had it now for 7 years and never had a problem. My main axis at the time was an Ibanez Artist (Scofield type). Walked into ced shop, pluged in and could not get a civilized tone, so i walked on to back of the shop.; 2 minutes later I heard someone playing what I thought was about the best guitar tone I have ever heard in my life. I almost ran out front to find a Toronto city cop whailing on his AC Strat, you guessed it, through the Dean. Even with his gun holstered to his belt I almost had to fist fight with the bastard to buy it right there. Great amp!!!

Now with Gretsch Synchrojet for gigs and for reamping in the studio. Preamp out and fx loops are godsend for recording. Larrivee D3e (w./Fishman PU)

Something wierd goin on with the reverb but I have not even looked at it yet so it's probably a bad cable or something simple, not worried.
No trouble otherwise.

I changed the preamp tube when I got it because it was noisy and microphonic

I have been playing for 35 years
I run a Boss ME-x thru it because the sounds are not processed they have a ic board for each effect keeping the sound true
If the amp was lost or stolen I would purchase another one cant beat the sound quality I found this amp in a pawn shop it had been setting there for a couple of years becase it was overpriced
afef that much time you can pretty much name your price and I did $30.00
