I acquired one of these recently (came with the guitar I bought on CL) and would like to know some information about them. Im guessing it is from the late 80's/eartly 90's but am not sure. Also, the gain and reverb are on a foot switch. The reverb works fine, but it seems like the gain switch doesn't do anything(always cleans sounding). Any ideas of what may be wrong? Other than this amp sounds great!
Thanks

I owned one of these for many years.

As I recollect, the footswitch is hard-wired to the chassis. Try opening up the switch housing and cleaning each switch with some De-Oxit.

I have one of these and I'm trying to find out the speaker load rating. All I can find on it is a sticker that reads 8A7. Is this an 8 Ohm speaker?
