I just see this as even more variety and sonic options! The sounds of the reverb on this unit are of top notch quality. A large range, so you can go from subtle to all out surf and/or ambient music mayhem! For some reason, though, the footswitch does not turn the effect on and off. But it does have a control knob on the control chassis, so you can turn it off as well as set it manually when you need to.
A majority of the tubes are not very old. However, it makes some weird sound artifacts from time to time, especially when it is just sitting idle.I wish they built this amp with a standby switch, but I guess you can always turn the amp off when not in use. As with all of these older tube amps, it will eventually need a cap job or at least a few replaced.
If you want it to really sound and perform exactly how you want it to, expect to bring it to your favorite amplifier tech for servicing at some point. We have already cleaned all of the input jacks, tube sockets, contact points and pots as best as we can. All of these said components seem to be very quiet. No NEED to change the speaker, though....It's got a solid Eminence Legend 12 that sounds just really big! No need to worry about a crackling, dying stock speaker that is about 1/2 a century old! This is pretty hard to find old bird. And this girl is trying to find its one in a million home. Please read the condition description and these listing details, as well as examine the pictures carefully, as they are just as much part of the description.
