This is one of the loudest 12" combo amps you'll ever hear! 3 channels, lots of tubes - google the details. I replaced the power tubes a while back but it hasn't had a lot of use, and I've been rotating them. I only ever use it at 60 watts. It also has a pentode/triode switch which is great for switching between the more Fender-like sound to a more Marshally tone. Speaker is a Celestion S12-150.
Seriously great clean tone - you know that bell like, gut thumping clean sound you can only get with a big valve amp. The dirty channels are none too shabby either.
Now this amp has a couple issues, and the price reflects this. In recent times it has been cutting out - sometimes it will get through a whole gig or rehearsal, sometimes it will come and go every few minutes. I'm pretty sure it's a heat related issue - I've tried a computer fan just sitting in the cabinet, and it has made it much more reliable, so that's a clue.
Secondly, the lead channel is stuck at full volume - I suspect I may have not re-connected a board when I pulled it apart once to fix a pot, or something's come loose. I don't use that channel anyway so I never pulled it apart to check.
The reverb tank has been removed, but I'll include it. I'm not sure if it works.
I'm asking $350, which is not even what I've spent on tubes... and well less than half what I paid for it. I just need to make some space and I'm just not playing guitar much anymore.
I'm in Melbourne. Will upload pics later, or ask if you need them.

Any offers before this goes you-know-where? or worse, before I decide to part it out!
