Why This Amp Is Special:

The Lab Series amps were designed with input from engineers associated with Moog, making them some of the most sophisticated solid-state guitar amps of the 1970s. They are known for extremely clean headroom and versatile tone shaping

The EVM-15L speaker alone is highly sought after, often selling separately for hundreds of dollars, and delivers exceptional projection and durability

These amps were also famously used by blues legend B.B. King, adding to their reputation among players and collectors

The Amp is large and quite heavy (70 lbs).  Shipping through UPS or Fedex is doable (the weight of the Amp and box, packing material would be above the USPS weight limit), but would be a bit expensive.
