John Mayer's Mankini
2001 Fender Ultimate Chorus
Solid State combo amp
2 x 12"
Stereo chorus, stereo flange, delay, reverb
Stereo effects loop, mono effects loop, 3 button footswitch (channel, reverb/delay, and chorus/flange)
130 Watts
You: Oh snap did you say STEREO CHORUS?
Me: OH YEAH! We're talking two different signals coming out of two different speakers!
You: I'll take it!
It's basically a direct competitor to the Roland JC120 --- A big solid state clean amp with incredible chorus. It has cleans that are cleaner than the cleanest cleans are clean, if you know what I mean. It will stay clean and get loud enough to blow women's clothes off. I have only done this once, but the amp was fine.
Of note, this amp has 2 completely separate power amps, one 65 watt power amp, and another 65 watt power amp. One for each speaker.
It also has a drive channel that is, oddly enough, very "metal." I have some really old clips of it doing metal if you're interested. The recordings were made with no mic preamp, no equalization, and, well, no knowledge or skill.
The chorus on the amp is unparallelled. It has 14 different chorus settings, and of course parametric control of each of those. It also has flange (sucks). It has reverb and delay, and that means it's got about 5 different "depths" of each "type" meaning "Plate Reverb 1, Plate Reverb 2 Plate Reverb 3, Plate Reverb 4, Plate Reverb 5, then Room Reverb 1.....on to Hall reverb and Auditorium reverb. It's also got delay's in the same way, short ones, long ones, deep ones, shallow ones. I love the delay on this amp and wish I could transplant it onto my other amp. It's really the shining star of the amp next to the awesome chorus.
Go to 4:15 in this clip for some of the amp's chorus demonstrated --- note how it stays clean when I really get heavy with the right hand. I made this recording about 5 years ago, recorded with an American Strat.
I'm selling it because (let's be real) my wife wanted me to sell something since I bought a new guitar today. Also, I live in a third floor apartment, and it's a little heavy. As in, it comes from the factory with casters. Lucky for you, I lost those years ago, so you will have the opportunity to get your back in shape! Think of how great you'll feel when you have great clean tone AND you're rippling with muscles!
The clean channel volume knob is physically broken off; at a volume that can best be described as "band practice level." I was carrying it up a flight of stairs and knocked it on the rail, and when I saw it was the volume knob, I was like "COME AWWWWWN!" You will probably have to use needle nose pliers or something to turn the volume down (or UP, if you are awesome.)
The rotary encoder (read: knob that never ends) that selects the reverb and delay type is broken off too. You can turn the nub with your hand, though. Luckily enough, the difference between reverb and delay is great enough that you can get your bearings about where the knob would be pointing (if it were not laying in the floor of an auditorium somewhere) very quickly. Think of the excitement, firing up your new amp and not knowing what type of sound will come out! What a thrill!
Also, the footswitch is batty. Channel selection works perfectly. Reverb / delay (on/off) works too, but it's light doesn't light up. Hilarious when you're gigging, I know you'll get just as much of a kick out of it as I did! Chorus / Modulation (on / off) is a real joy. If you have reverb/delay off, and you stomp the chorus/modulation button, reverb and delay will come on too - Surprise! You won't know it unless you're listening though, because the reverb / delay indicator light is broken, remember? If I want to turn on chorus without reverb and delay, I just turn the reverb/delay level down to 0 and the problem is solved. But why bother solving it when you can get two effects for the stomp of one?!?!
Think of the valuable time you'll save when you're stuck in the 80's and want to solo with delay AND chorus! Just one click and you're "pouring some sugar" all over your audience!
