From Fargen Amps

The Fargen Olde 800 MKII is a true hand-wired, high-gain masterpiece that offers you some of the best clean and crunch tones from when rock ruled the world!

The Olde 800 MKII has that classic high gain British rock sound similar to a JCM 800 but with added sustain and super thick harmonic crunch tones. The Olde 800 MKII also achieves smooth, fat, clean tones reminiscent of classic non-master volume British amps. Our superior component quality and sound design choices make it one of the best high gain rock amps available today. The addition of the versatile Fargen “Decade Switch” gives you 25% more gain on tap in the 80’s setting than previously available on the MKI version.

The Olde 800 MKII is available in either 25 watts or 50 watts. Both have the same exact specification – just choose your wattage when you place your order.
