Hi all,
Sadly I have to part company with this head due to poor health. Best head I've played and I love it, but can't keep it any longer.

I had the power section re-valved about 18 months ago with full service. It's never missed a beat and I've rehearsed every other week and gigged a couple of times a month since owning it for about 3 years. Condition is a little Road worn but minor cosmetic. Whilst it is heavy on paper, it doesn't feel it's weight as the handle position and choice make it a lot more manageable than expected. Each functional element of the amp (i.e. pre-amp, graphic, para eq, compressor) can be engaged or defeated depending on how you want to run it so as simple or complex as you like. It's really easy and makes the amp very straight forward and intuitive.

Currently paired with my barefaced retro 610 and sometimes an additional 210 it's a phenomenal sensation, all valve power. Nothing like it.

I live and work in the Rushden/Bedford area. I rehearse in Shefford, and have got upcoming gigs in Stevenage, Welwyn, London, Kent and Wales upcoming. Happy to travel a sensible distance so worth asking.

Any questions give me a shout. I have reliable feedback in the feedback thread. Many thanks

Oh wow! That's awesome! Thank you for the kind words. Laney guitar amps have got a really good reputation, especially the GH series and now later the Ironheart heads, so I was hoping that when we received the Nexus Valve stuff it was going to deliver similarly. It did, yup, nice!

Sorry missed these posts, pms are better.

Replied to Sean, first refusal.

No footswitch and yeah spec at circa 34 KG. Doesn't feel it as handles are inset and easy carry compared to some. That's mainly transformer though do you're getting a tonne of tone ;)

Apologies again.
