Woodson W200-1

1974 solid state amp with 2 channels...volume, bass, treble and treble boost for eack channel. four inputs. Would love to sell to the guy below. It needs a good home.

Clean, full sound, sounds like a KUSTOM from the late 60's or early 70's. My guess is they are the same amp as a Kustom or Kasino. Lots of similar components and design. Sounds like the guy below should contact me because his email address is not working.

32 years old and sounds new.

short lived company but looks easily repairable

Great Bass Amp. If any one is interested, this is for sale. As it have too many amps. Models W200-1 head and Model 2-15WB cabinet.

I heard these amps were from the 70s and it looks like that but not sure on a exact date.
This amp is the most versatile if you are a player who likes floor effects rather that amp effects. I cannot stand amp effects because they limit your clean sound since you have to adapt your clean sound to the effect. So for me this amp was very versatile. This amp of miine has two main channels with hi and lows inputs on each input each channel has volume bass and treble. It also has a bright switch that i think adds the equivilent of the mids set on 7 of a marshall, i do not use this switch its only able to be turned of and on. It has two speaker outputs of which i only use one since i only have one made by woodson with two 15 inch speakers model number is 2-15 BW. IF YOU OWN ANOTHER SPEAKER LIKE THIS ONE MADE BY WOODSON EMAIL IF YOUR WILLING TO SELL IT PLEASE. It has also two outputs for a tape recorded and monitor. anoth peron stated his had a master volume knob but mine does not i dont know why but i dont really need one. it is a very nice amp probablly the best sounding amp of its type. it has the cleanest sound in the world I love it. I would like for it to have a reverb knob but you can get a pedal for that. I know this amp is 200 watts which is clearly hearable but very nice. I dont think you could ask for more. this amp also has a cool purple light that glows when on its faded but still nice.

I use a Squier Jagmaster that has two humbukers and volume and tone knobs and three way switching it is my favorite setup on a guitar. this amp totally fits my sound. I play silverchair nirvana classic stuff cream the beatles and smashing pumpkins this amp at any setting sounds like cream with the bright switch on and treble at 7 and bass at 5 it is a mirror image of nirvana and i can perfectly get the pumpkins sound through this and example tonight tonigh and verse of bullet with butterfly wings by no bright switch and treble at 8 and bass at 5-6. this amp is silent exept when my xtortion pedal by boss is own and my small stone phaser. this amp has no effects so you can make it sound like anything with you effect setup i own many effects (15) but only use a few.
guitar>dan o matic tuner(the big one)>danelctro reverb(small one) mix on 4 and high cut on 9> danelctro(big one cool cat chorus speed on 4 and depth on> boss xtortion (for solos) level 5 contour 4 punch 6 and dist 10 > electro harmonix Big muff (pumpkins settings i ripped them off) level 6 sustain 9 tone 7 those are the real settings. > vox tonebender fuzz level 5 attack 5(for overdrived clean sound) > electro harmonix small stone phaser switch down and speed at 3-5. this amp with a small stone and big muff can mimick the pumpkins and radio exactly i mean duplicate perfectly.

its very reliable i mean its so old nothing else is gonna happen to it now. i would definatly take it to a show you dont need to boost it at 5 cause it sounds perfect on 1 its so loud with 200 watts through 2 15s i think that this amp wont need much help from being mic'd on stage.

well I bought used so my support is from my shop near me since i know the guy he does everything free for me its got to be a ten the only thing he does is one time the light bulb burned out so i replaced it and had him clean everything inside

i play in so meany things as bassist and guitarist mainly bassist and singer that this amp is perfect it actually plays bass through it without blowing because of the 2 15 inch speakers but i also sing through it this amp doesnt have the nicest mic sound but pretty good i normally sing through a peavey ecoustic guitar amp through the mic channel but this amps sound kinda gives you a very high gain sound kinda real raw not mellow voice sound great for girls voices. i use a shure sm-48 mic through it same as the sm-58 but not endosed so its cheaper. if it were stolen i could never find another one but i would look hard this is the best amp ive ever played .
PLEASE EMAIL IF YOUR WILLING TO SELL YOUR OTHER 2-15 BW SPEAKER.

A totally basic late 60s/early 70s solid state amp. Two channels, each with a volume, bass, and treble control and brightness switch, as well as a master volume. Each channel has a hi and lo input, and besides speaker outputs, there are 1/4" outs for monitor and tape recorder.

Relatively clean sounding for such an old amp, with the exception of dirty pots. Overdriving the channels in conjunction with the master volume give a "passable" distortion if needed. Because of its "generic" transistor wiring, it can be used for both guitar and bass, it's just dependent on the bottom cabiet used.

I have never had a problem with it as far as breakdown. It does the job that it was built to do.

The Woodson amps were built by Kustom back in the early 70s when one of the Kustom owners was going through a divorce, and he wanted to carry a separate line from Kustom. The company has long since been gone, so no way to contact. With regular (i.e. non-abusive) care, the amp should not cause any problems.

I bought this at an auction for the incredible price of $15. It has more than paid for itself as a good 50-watt solid state amp head. While for guitar it is quite limited, it has done the job for bass playing in small venues. This is not a common brand, but because it is Kustom built, it is definitely worth picking up if the price is right (Under $100).
