Rather a rare beast, designed by Marco of MarkBass fame, built in Italy, it's a versatile and well voiced unit. However, far too much gear and far too little space forces sale (studio build in progress also so money is more useful than amps at present)

 

I'd prefer collection but can post, it is however not lightweight!

@silverfoxnik you do NOT need another amp mate :) 

 

But it is rather nice and rather unusual so I get it. Time to drive is not plentiful at present, very happy to send this to you on spec, pay me if you like it, send it back if you don't? 

 

Cheers

I definitely don't, Chris! 

 

Much as it'd be great to see you and revisit Clackett Lane etc, etc, buying another amp would be a potential major health risk for me here at home.. 😉😁

 

It's a rare, high quality amp you're selling, so no doubt it'll find a good new home soon.

I'm guessing the footswitch would let you switch between the channels and possibly combine both.

Yes, two preamp channels, but sadly I don't have the footswitch but these things tend to be quite generic in my experience?

Can't find a user guide nor specs online - could you tell us the weight please?

Many thanks

 

Hello mate, i'll measure tonight but if you're looking for lightweight best look elsewhere I'm afraid :(

Wow I had two of these many years ago. Loved them but sold them for an SVT. Took me ages to find an original footswitch! From memory it did muting, channel switch, eq and boost. It was a lovely sounding amp. There's a valve in the pre that lights up in the little window by the gain dial.

I found a link on Talkbass that states 24lbs, I'll confirm tonight 👍

 

10kgs or very close (can't speak to the accuracy of the digital scales). That's naked. i.e., out of the rack case. Oddly it felt heavier 🤔

There is indeed @Muppet

And yes, in my limited experience with it, it's appears very well voiced, one of those units on which pretty much all the settings sound musical one way or another 👍

Looks great that, not seen one before. I’m sure it’ll sell quick enough mate. 🤘

I've got one with a footswitch that was gifted years ago but it's faulty, keep meaning to get it fixed as they sound incredible. Such a solid head. GLWTS
