i have this solid state amp i got given when i brought my 1985 '62 custom tele off my dads mate. he got it for his 18th birthday, which ties in with the age of the guitar, and he gave me this amp that he used to play the guitar through, but it didnt work. i replaced a component for a quid and it works great. sounds very nice and looks ACE. has a nice UK made Celestion speaker in it. it is also RIDICULOUSLY loud for such a small amp. for 'bedroom' play, i have the master volume at about 2 :shock: . the gain channel is activated by pulling out the marked knob.

but ive never been able to find anything out about it, maybe some of the 'wiser' heads here may recognise the name ?

cheers

Never heard of the amp before but it's a well made sturdy one by the looks of it and finished in nice tweed. 8)
