BUY IT NOW!

I've been after these since the mid-90s

They were Gibson imported sovteks (essentially)

My fears have been confirmed. I just shelled out a ton of money on an amp building project, so currently my funds are inexistent. Fuck money.

Hmmm, I have the scratch.... Tempting. I wanted one of these a long time. Wish I hadn't sold my RB cab.

I know, I really want it. I can make a nearly exact copy of the back cover at the machine shop. I'd probably cover the head in green tolex....

If I remember correctly these are VERY bass heavy. Problematically so.

I'd rather have a mig-60. Actually I did... and I let it go...

I always thought they were just rebranded Sovtek amps.

No, these are a true point to point under the hood.

supposedly similar to jcm800 like the laneys etc

Most of these are setup from the factory for 220v and need a converter. I can't get the seller to reply to any q's.

The seller is in Illinois and I remember these for sale when they were new, so its likely a US voltage one.
