Sounds great. Certainly has an edgy top end.

I know right?
i got it for really fair price.
matching cab would be great but I think nearly impossible to find for good enough deal...
only thing that bothers me is that amp is narrower in bottom portion and is quite prone to fall over.
If I'll gig this thing i must come with some solution to prevent it... :oldgrin:

Sounds great! That model was probably the first valve amp I heard up close when I was 14 - my pal had one and an ancient (non-matching) 4x12 in his parents' garage in 1979. He enjoyed cranking it up and playing easy heavy rock riffs over + over on a CMI strat - more or less Bill & Ted style. I think he had a Champion (B&M) fuzz or something similar.
