A 70's era Solid State amp dripping with 70's aesthetics. Basic two-channel, foot-switchable setup with two inputs (Normal, Effects). Only effect is a spring reverb with speed and intensity controls. One 15" Gibson Ultrasonic speaker. Sounds fantastic! Has 100V electrical jack in back for pedals, etc.
I play a little bit of everything from classic rock to classical. The clean/reverb is haunting...groovy!
At home I can't turn the volume on either the amp or my guitar past "1"...supersonic loud! I play G&L F-100, Cortez Ferrari, Godin Acousticaster, Fender Strat, Alvarez Dana Scoop and a Malden Mozak through this amp. The Acousticaster sounds unreal through the Normal channel; crystal clear. The F-100, Ferrari and Dana just scream through this box.

Unbelievable cost to sound ratio. The clear channel would make a bell cry and drop a fuzz/distortion on the front end and look out. Very quiet amp even with my single coil guitars.

Certainly over 30 years old and there is near nothing wrong with it, looks or sound-wise.

Been playing for about 15 years and have a Tech 21 Trademark 60 and a Peavey Classic 20 with 115 extension cab. Mostly play through the Tech...hey if it's good enough for Les Paul, it's good enough for me, but the G60 will definitely have a niche in my repertoire.
