Up for grabs

I'm bumping this thread to say that I've put this amp up for sale on consignment.
Anyone in the MD-DC-VA area interested in plugging in to it...

It is located at Atomic Music in Beltsville.

Have at it, and enjoy.

Regards,

Steve

YouTube Videos

Post by sst4270 »

For those interested I've begun video taping some guitarists playing out of this amp. I'll be posting the videos on YouTube.
I'll be posting several videos over the next couple of days.
I'd be interested in your feedback.

First video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXQmwsE8dbI

From there you can click on "more from: sst4270" on the right side of the screen.

Pardon the hiss as I've never video taped before and dialing in the recording volume took some time.

Enjoy.

That amp sounds awesome. :D
Hard to believe that is a 6V6 amp of only 20 watts.

Good luck with your sale.

Don't let that smoke out!

I'm not real sure whether to laugh or cry... that is an awesome sounding amp, some great sound clips and yet you really colored outside the lines of the typical Express amp cloning exercise.

It would seem that you've established that JJ 6V6's and not so expensive Fender iron is more that adequate for supplying some of the very best tone I've heard out of the AGF.

Congrats, I am really impressed with the sounds you are getting and some very nice playing!

It was a while back but I was so impressed that I asked for and received more sound clips and made a CD so I could listen while going to work. Very good amp.
