Legend Rock N Roll 50 Combo

[Wattage]

One of my friends just picked this up, needed a little TLC so I cleaned it up, cut new back braces and fixed a few minor issues.

Pretty cool amp, love the very 70's look. 3-12AX7 Pre's with an SS power section into a Rola Celestion G12-80 soeaker...F'N LOUD!!!!

pretty sure the Rev used these for a while

Nice. Very Fender/Boogie-esque look. Had a kind of mid-nasal sound, though.

G12-80s were a thing for a while. My 1983 Randall RG80 1x12 had one. With a good solid cab, sounds bigger than it is. I put my Randall on top of my Marshall 4x12 with Vintage 30s and I could hear both equally well, balanced.

Aren't the Celestion/Mesa Black Shadow speakers based on the Celestion G12-80?

Cool amp. Looks like a Silver face with a Boogie cane grille.

They have some sweet tone too....sound as good as they look.

The nasal thing was probably more the angle and my phone than the actual sound of the amp, it can be a bit mid-y though.

I remember the ads for them in late 70s Guitar Player mags.

Yup

I lived up in Syracuse for a bit in the early 80's, they were everywhere around there
