Owen Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) I walked into my local guitar emporium and unexpectedly walked out with this second hand. It is a very low wattage full valve head. 1 valve for gain and one valve for power. It has gain, 3 band EQ, bright switch and master. It is another "what was I thinking" purchase. It will do the whole overdriven valve thing with ease, driving the power stage nicely. £75 + carriage Edited February 8, 2011 by owen
Mr. Foxen Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Is this one of those half rack sorta sized jobs?
Owen Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 It is that. I will take pics in a moment. Cosmetically, it has obviously spent a lot of time in someone's lead bag but seems to work just fine and dandy.

stevie Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) These were made for guitar but should do well for bass too. They sound like a typical vintage Fender amp. They are easy to overdrive (giving you the 'crunch' tone) but you also get a clean, bell-like Fender amp tone with the gain control down. The power stage is about ten watts - so it will drive a speaker directly without any problem (although it also functions as a preamp, of course). Edited February 7, 2011 by stevie
