*SOLD*Ampeg J 20 1x12 PTP Combo Amp

Hey, guys. I've decided to let go of the Ampeg. While I'd normally entertain trades, I really need the cash.

Edit: I completely forgot to include the price. $400 + shipping. If you're local to Central NJ, you are more than welcome to come by and give it a run.

PM or email me if you're interested. [email protected]

Basic rundown of the amp
12" AlNiCo speaker
Point-to-point wired chassis. No PCB here.
20 Watts
6v6s, 12ax7s, and a 5ar4 Rectifier tube.

This amp has a lot of clean headroom for an amp this size. With my humbuckers driving it, there was enough clean volume to play with a drummer and bassist. All this and the amp still weighs 25 pounds according to Ampeg's site.

Of course, when you turn the amp up it makes some great overdriven tones. See below for a video review done by Pro Guitar Shop on youtube.

The amp itself is in great condition. There are a few scuff marks on the sides of the amp, but they do not effect operation at all.

I'm simply selling it because I don't use it anymore. I prefer my Pro Jr over all else and when I do need volume, there's already a Fender Twin at my disposal in our rehearsal space. Great, LOUD, compact amp. It just doesn't fit a niche for me anymore.

I forgot to mention (though it's mentioned in the CL ad) this amp was purchased from New Jersey Guitar and Bass on.

The amp works great, all original tubes and speaker. When I bought the amp, Jay from NJ Guitar and Bass threw in an SWR footswitch that works with the amp to switch on the on-board tremolo. The footswitch is included.
