This amp is made in the seventys. It's a japanese copy of the blackface twin (Schematic AB763). There are minor differences in the schematics. It's like the fender 2 channels. one with volume, bass, middle and trebble and a tremolo channel with also reverb and tremolo. It's a fulltube amp with 4x 6L6 and 4x 12ax7 and 2x 12at7.
Its a very clean sounding just like Fender with a bite

The overal sound is very clean. The one I have was very old and noisy but after replacing new Condensators and Tubes its a very quiet amp. I use a telecaster and a stratocaster with EMG pickups wich give a perfect match in clean sounds. perfect for Jazz, country etc. Its a typical Shadow sound. Or I should say Venture sound. That band used Gyatones

I've had several Fender amplifiers and this Guyatone sounds much better. This is the sound that made Fender famous but i could not get it from Hotrods or Prosonic.
