Well, I went and did a local search on Reverb and this amp listing was just a few days old.
With no shipping, the price was lower than all but a beat to crap unit, and just over half of new.
I have the little Tweaker 15 & Rebel 20, but I use the tweaker more often and I've been thinking about the bigger 40w, 2 channel, so...
Picked it up after work today.
Fairly good condition, just a little dusty.
Tung-Sol 6L6GC power tubes and a set of matching Mullard 12AX7 pre-amps
Plopped it on the Egnater 112's and everything seems to be working.
Cleaned it up a bit, Deoxit in all the jacks & pots, some Deoxit gold on all the tube pins.
Put the probes on and the bias seems fine.
Not sure if that's hot or cold for 6L6GC, but it's balanced and sounds fine, clean and gain cranked.
Gut shot for ya before I slid it back in the shell.
Back on the cabs and tested out some pedals in the loop & front end.
Not much need for dirt pedals as the two identical channels have so many different settings.
Shared tone stack that can be set to Fender/Vox/Marshall and separate volume, gain with vintage / modern switch & all the little "Tweaker" switches for each channel.
It's like having 2 of the little 15's that can be set completely differently and changed with a footswitch - plus some bigger iron.
Probably going to be finding these little fellas a new home...
