Description: This is a vintage suitcase PA that has been converted to a kick ass Guitar Amp! The inputs and outputs have been converted to standard 1/4” plugs, the caps have been replaced, the plugs on the ORIGINAL JENSEN SPEAKERS have been swapped for 1/4” plugs and the power tubes have been replaced with a set of NOS Sylvania tubes. There are 3 inputs, the phone one has one less gain stage and can work for mellow, cleaner tones. Plug into one of the Mic inputs and that’s when this thing really rocks! With about 40w of raw tube power it gets LOUD and breaks up like a tube amp should! It simply sounds great, meaty, and sparkly at the same time. You can play through the vintage Pair of Jensen that are part of the system (8 ohms each) or plug it into your favorite cabinet! There is an output ohm selector on the back for 4 (use with the included speakers in parallel), 8 or 16 ohms. Make sure to Always have a speaker load applied when the amp is on, just like any tube amp, and select the right resistance for your cabinet. The amp head is in nice shape, the knobs all Work as they should and the glass lights up with incandescent bulbs on either end. The tubes have all been checked and any caps that are leaky have been replaced. Both of the original speakers still work well, and the system assemble together as it should. I have detached the head from the base so you can use it separately as just a guitar head if you’d like, and have therefore added a strap to secure it to the base during transportation should you wish to carry it in the original suitcase style. The Tolex on the outside of the unit is pretty tore up and falling off in places, and the handles although sturdy have been rigged to extend their life. It wouldn’t take much to recover the whole thing and have it looking like new again, it is physically still in good shape and all of the clamps still work. All in all this is a great piece of vintage technology and a testament to the build quality of the postwar era. Try to get a cell phone that lasts more than two years! This amp has been re-purposed for the modern world and sounds absolutely fantastic, it will give you that unique sound that every guitarist craves and have everyone looking twice at your rig on stage!
