Absolutely killer!!!!!!

I've wanted a 2205 for ages, silly money now, scored this '88 combo version for peanuts off the local CL. Super clean, a little musty smelling but holy frijoles it just cooks!

UK V30, JJ EL34L not sure the pre's and it's had the filter caps replaced.

I am guessing it hasn't been used in anger for a while lol

I am taking it in for a once over, changed a couple of pre's but there's something flakey going on with the reverb. Figure it's like buying a nice older car ought to bring it to the mechanic for a check up
 
I would describe that as the perfect amp. Great sounding, portable, and loud enough to get above the bass and drummer. Also perfect for a recording session. Nice score Scott.
 
i had one of those years ago. had trace at voodoo mod it for a better clean sound and warmer/fatter dirty tone at lower gain settings. never shoulda sold it. enjoy the amp man, its a beast!
 
Got it back from the tech today turns out one fo the PT's was flaking out. Got a new pair of Svetlana's, a good cleaning and it sounds fantastic!
 
Nice. That thing could easily do a gig with a decent 2x12.

It can easily do a gig period. I like an extension cab for coverage but it doesn't need one by any measure. Maybe if I was playing super heavy stuff but otherwise it is plenty
 
yeah, i was going to say the same thing. that thing can gig as it is. plenty loud and sounds best turned up a bit
 
Beautiful! ... I used to own the "ss" verision of one... i think it was called a 5210? :O . It sounded great.

Congrats!!

I guess that I'm biased towards playing super heavy.

I totally get it, and I certainly am not used to going in with small rigs. Feels like I am bringing a knife to a gunfight but that is scene these days. I like playing loud, I am a dinosaur. No shit "if it's too loud you're too old" means something totally different now.

I remember thinking as a kid that my 80 watt Ross 1x12 combo was loud. And it was. 20 years later I discovered that a 4x12 almost might be loud enough, but two are better. Oh and that's when they're pushed by at least a 100 watt head.
