Hello, I am selling this vintage Sound City all tube guitar amplifier from the early 1970s.

It is British made and has an exceptional power stage that consists of even 6(!) EL34 pentodes.

So it can deliver 120 Watts of output power.

I repaired and brought the amplifier fully back to live, installed all new JJ preamp tubes plus used but very good TAD EL34s (>90% emission). Also replaced several caps and trimmers plus some resistors that had gone out of spec.

So all in all, I'd expect the amplifier to be nice and quiet. But as you can also read on the Internet, these amps are almost never quiet due to their active tone stack.

That also applies to this very device, it also still has some hum which might be due to some left over grounding issue (caps are ok) or whatever. 

Therefore, this amplifier does not comply to the standard which I am used to when selling amps.

Adding a master volume pot would already address this to some degree, as then not all the noise from the active tone stack would be fully amplified all the time.

Another alternative would be to scrap the tone stack and change it to a Hiwatt DR103 type stage, descriptions for this mod can be found on the Internet, too.

So if you like, you can run it as it is, but also try and modify it to your needs.

As I am selling this amp as defective, there is no return possible.

I am shipping this device all across Europe.

Please ask any questions you might have before buying.

Best Regards,
