This is a 1966 Vox Cambridge Reverb. It's got three inputs, though I only use one. Its effects are tremolo and a noisy reverb. Although I only use this amp for recording and practicing at home, it could be loud enough for a small solo club gig. Though this is the solid state model, its tone is deep, warm, and beautiful. At low volumes, the 10" gold bull dog sounds nice and deep for such a small size.

I play my 56' danelectro baritone guitar (stock lipstick PUs), and tend to play the Camrbridge at pretty low volumes. For the kind of stuff I do at home (moody, sort of Morphinesque stuff), the Cambridge is perfect. I've also used it to record the Bari and a Strat, and I'm amazed at the variety of sounds you can get from it. The main drawback in recording this thing is that if you turn it up past, say, 6 or 7, it starts sounding... bad, for lack of a better word. So, again, at low volumes, sounds amazing, but don't don't push it.

Very reliable amp. I've had it for almost four years now, and despite the Thomas Voxes reputation for... shaky reliability, this thing has never let me down.

If it were to get stolen, I might consider buying the tube version, although they tend to go for big money these days.
