On Hold - Demeter – Minnie VTBP-M-800D Amp - On Hold £900

[deanovw]

For Sale: Demeter – Minnie VTBP-M-800D Amp

£900 + delivery at cost

It is with some regret that I am putting this amp up for sale as it it a fantastic amp, but, I have at last managed to get an all valve amp and so this must go.

It is immaculate and comes with a posh Roqsolid cover. If I had lots of money I definately would not be selling this.

Trades considered:

Nice Fender P Bass + cash either way
Really small class D amp + cash my way.

When you say you replaced the bright switch, is that a mod you/specialist/factory did?

[deanovw]

That was copied from the Demeter spec. I think the old version had a bright switch and this new version has this mode switch. Apologies for any confusion.

I have done no work to this amp as it is perfect as it is.

This head was designed with the three way switch from the outset. The older rack mounted pre on which this was based had the normal / bright settings so this one adds 'dark'.

Thanks Molan.
