I have a 1x12 and if you can pick one up for that price you sure can't go wrong. A very nice sounding and performing 6L6 amplifier. As I recall they were made for Gibson in the Seattle area. The one thing that's deficient is the tremelo, very weak. I read that there's a mod you can have performed to fix the problem, but I'd just do the trem outboard if you need it. Keep us posted.

I have a GA40RVT and a GA42RVT, both are 30 watt class A amps. Lovely sound. Tremolo is fantastic, no problems. The 40 is a 1x12 and the 42 is a 2x12 but Gibson chose to use the identical cab for both, but just offsetting the speaker in the 1x12. I got great deals on both, $550 for one and $450 for the other, both brand new condition. Good luck.

I'll go check it out later this week. i am not in a hurry nor do i need a new amp, so maybe i'll get lucky and someone else will buy it (doing me a favor) or the price will reduce over time. thanks.

 

I tried one at Guitar Trader a while back, liked it, but then looked at the price tag. way overpriced, even discounted. at this price seems hard to pass up. Will let you know.
