My trace elliot Vellocette went kaput again so I needed an amp to take to jazz orchestra.
The bass player was selling one of these:
Paid £50. Dont know if thats good or bad as I know nothing about them. Going to do a quick google to find a little bit more out but I can say that I like the look of the front panel with the italic writing.
Other than to see if it worked, I havent had chance to properly try it out so I cant say anything of the sound. Just thought I would share it.
I think we had the 20 watt version of this at my school as a practice amp. From what I remember, it didn't even half as good as a MG, but as a fairly massive caveat, we were 15, knew dick all about EQ or how a band mix works and were trying to get one to keep up with a drummer in a tiny, weirdly shaped practice room.
I had the same amp, it's really good for the money... nicer than an MG for sure !
I paid about £70 I think... and eventually sold it for £100. I compared it with my Classic 30. Not on par... but there wasn't much in it really. Sounded thinner and more sterile but to be expected... but a ton lighter !! The knobs were crackling but sorted that with some contact cleaner, and the gain knob seemed to be a bit severe volume wise towards the higher regions, but probably just the taper of the pot. Great amp, wish I hadn't sold it...
I still have the 100 watt version as a matter of fact... which was my first 'proper' amp. Kept it for sentimental reasons. It lives at my parents home.

It was me who asked Thought so, the later generation has those and also the Headphone/line out input and the horizontal high / low jack placement.
The early ones don't and have a more generic speaker green (?) speaker, can't remember exactly which. You def have the better variant I would say... the speaker wasn't much cop in mine I didn't think.
