Not expensive, but nothing that sells is anymore.

Yeah, I'd love to have it, but having more time than money on my hands, my top price is the cost of the parts.

Might be hard to find the push button switches. Probably could repurpose an old car radio for that.

It sounds better than a clone of itself no matter what we do. It's a good deal.

I would use a Whack-A-Mole game from the carnival for the switching. Fun amp to play probably.

Maybe back then or something? These days they look like everyone else and they don't do meth.

Those green teeth are scary. Better when they are all pulled.

Looks like that posting expired. There's one on eBay right now for a similar price:

My cousin has one that is in not too bad of shape.

I love the electric eye thingy it has.

I wish I was an heir to his stuff, he has many vintage guitars and amps and a single child (daughter) that will most likely sell his stuff for crack.

I really want the smaller early amp. They embarrass AC30s.

I was just looking at the schematic for the Twin 30. It looks like it's using ultra-linear taps. So I guess those that say UL can't sound good in a guitar amp have never seen or heard the Zodiac.
