Sound Pure's Take
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.
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
The Fargen Dual British Classic is ultimate club amp for any player that needs to cover three classic vintage designs in one grab and go amp. Fargen delivers the best of Blackface Fender, Marshall Plexi & Marshall JCM800 styles in one portable lightweight 25-watt hand wired tube amp. Full channel switching design function and full tube buffered FX loop included.
