Condition: Used, Very Good

A clean machine! Buckets of headroom make the "89" a wonderful choice for players that want the sort of bright, articulate response that make their playing really cut through regardless of the playing situation. The strong dynamic response opens up a world of possibility and lends itself wonderfully to players who depend more on their pedalboard for their overdrive sounds.

Just like it's little brother the "59"  The 100 watt "89" has a 12AX7 preamp tube, a 12AX7 mid-amp tube and a 12AX7 phase inverter tube but thats where the similarity ends...  The "89" sports  4 -  6L6's power tubes and power rectification is handled by a GZ34.

This amp has 4 input jacks:  2 on the Bright Channel and 2 for the normal channel (the top jacks are regular and the bottom jack is padded for extra hot pickups or active pickups).  These channels can also be bridged to fatten and achieve a hotter output.  You can plug into the bright channel (top jack) and then jumper from the bottom jack of the bright to the top jack of the normal.  You can then adjust the two volumes to achieve the output you desire.

The Tone Stack for the "89" has: Bright Volume, Normal Volume, High Cut, Mid Cut, Bass Cut, and the most responsive presence control you have ever heard.  The presence can sweep from dark to very bright and is perfect for compensating for bright or dark rooms.

This amp is known for its extreme clean tone and headroom with great dynamic response.

This amp is on tour with Paul Franklin (Vince Gill), Bruce Bouton (Garth Brooks),  Dan Galysh (Mo Pitney) and  Jamie Lennon (Easton Corbin) not to mention all the other bands using an "89" today.
