NEW (old) AMP DAY to me !

[SirJackdeFuzz]

I have been waiting a long time for something like this to pop up on the local (read : country wide) 2nd hand market.

Over here you see one, maybe two, for sale, every 10 years or so.
Needless to say, i am super exited.

RIP your hearing

If you mod that thing to have a master volume we can't be friends anymore. Just so you know.

I am not hip enough to know if it is a new model or a vintage one, but it certainly looks cool.

I was told it is a 1973 model . . . but people in the know says it is a 1975 model.

No box .. ? Crazy.
I would never even attempt to ship an amp without a roadcase but thats me.

No master volume.

They start clipping about 85% of the way up the volume knob.

For me ?
The whole Stoner Doom genre . . . i s'pouse.

I can NOT afford the (modern) Holy Grail amps of this genre, i.e. Electric Amp USA 120's, Matamap GT1's, and i am pretty sure that there are ZERO Ampeg V4's in my country.
I prefer Orange over Marshall, because to my ears, Orange does not have that British 'spike' in their top end, like most (but not all) Marshaal have.
I hear most Orange amps as a warmer, fuller sounding Marshall.

In other genres, Marc Boland also used Orange, and i am a huge fan.
