It's a 1978 Yamaha G100. Solid-state, 100W, with a near 300W high-efficiency speaker. You might hear some players call it the poor-man's JC-120, but they'd be dead wrong.
There are basically 3 things wrong with every JC-120:
- The Fender-style EQ section has very little midrange, and no tubes means there's no compression to soften the edges. It can be stunningly brittle.
- The hiss is so loud you think a faucet has been left on.
- It's almost always too loud.

The G100 corrects every one of these. The amp was designed by Paul Rivera, and he gave it a very well voiced Baxandall-style EQ, plus an active parametric with 9db cut-boost and a width control. You have all the range you need to get all the frequencies balanced as you want. Even better, the clever class A/B power amp operates at a higher voltage then conventional SS amps and uses giant power capacitors usually found on tube amps. This gives nearly no background noise and helps the amp give and respond more like a clean tube circuit. Finally, because it only has one power section as is better designed, it is also perfectly happy at bedroom levels. But it will still give you crisp cleans at drummer levels.
It is one of the most pleasant and useful amps ever made. And I got mine in a store for $73.
