This is a great amp.
It was made by valco for gretsch, and i believe this is the best valco made amp ive ever played. This is a pretty versatile amp, its great for funky beats an rhythms like John Frusiciante type stuff.
This amp features 2 channels, 3 position tone selector.
It also has a 140 peak power.
I've gigged with this amp quite a few times and its never let me down.

I play this amp with a LP or a strat, and i can get a great tone out of either. This amp actually has a great clean sound and can also get pretty distorted. like I said, this is a very versitile amp.
Reliability

10
You can definatly depend on this amp to get the job done.
I gig this amp WITHOUT a backup so its gig worthy.
The amps never broken down, ive had to change the fuses once or twice but thats it.
Customer Support

Since Fender markets Gretsch guitars and amps, the only customer service they have goes directly to fender. I contacted them and asked if they had a schematic for it. They said "quite frankly, we didnt even know the amp existed."
I searched for the schematic for weeks and eventually found a source.
No thanks to fender.

Ive been playing for 9 years and i own quite a few amps but this is my favorite one. If it were stolen i'd buy another one if i could find it. I love everything about this amp, its great.
If you ever run into one of these, buy it, you wont regret it.
