First post here. Thought I would share a few pictures of an early Super Lead - mid 1968 I believe.
Early 12,000 range serial - as I understand it, these and the equivalent 50w 1987 were the first "lead" voiced amps that deviated significantly from the JTM/Bass circuit.
It's not exactly the same as the '69 spec that you'd find in the 1959HW for example - seems they were still experimenting at this time. I don't think there's anything unusual about this particular amp though.
I admit the whole VH association was part of the reason I got it, but I've found that it's a nice bridge between the earlier and later amps. It can get pretty distorted, but isn't quite as aggressive as a metal panel.
At some point I'd like to find an original gold logo for it, but might end up modifying a new one to fit.
