What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good - Includes footswitch

Details of the mods done in 2016 by Benjamin Fargen:

It was originally a two channel amp, non-switchable except using an ABY box, channel 1 an AC30 and channel 2 Fargen's Olde 800. Channel 2 comes with a decade switch where the 60's is like a JTM45, 70's is the JMP, and the 80's is JCM 800.  It had a passive FX loop and is 25 watt, EL34, amp.  Recently, the amp was upgraded, Ben signed and dated the chassis, to an active FX loop with a 12AX7 tube, it can take any 12 series tube, and the channels are now foot-switchable.  Now one uses channel one for guitar input and the lower channel for the foot switch, which I'm sending with the amp.  On the AC30 channel, there is a brightness switch and a switch between the brightness toggle and the volume dial which allow for switching between channels without a foot switch.  Once the FX loop is active, the volume control on channel 1 and the master on channel 2 are now send controls for the FX loop.
