Not for the faint of heart. 250 watts via 6x6550 powertubes and according to my tech (who just serviced it) an unloaded plate voltage of 700, 649 loaded. Despite that it actually has a super gradual volume taper on both channels until it starts getting very loud around 3 o clock and higher, so weirdly it actually can be a very bedroom friendly amp

The left channel is voiced like a jcm800. The right channel is like a SuperLead NMV and the there’s an A+B input to combine both channels. The right channel got a Jose type mod added by Anthony (AMM/Amp Man) out in Chicago. It’s a simpler mod that had no drilling or anything. Just a presence pot added on back where the preamp out jack was, so the presence knob on front now is a volume knob and the gain knob can be pulled out to activate the clipping mode. The JCM800 side is stock. I personally much prefer the mod, but it can be removed. The LED for the standby switch on back doesn’t light up, but the lights up front for standby and power do. No issues there functionally

I’ve read less than 100 of these were made. Either way these are very rare. I’m keeping this one for now just local to the general NY tri state area without shipping. $3900 and it’s your’s

I hate that i need this for reasons that aren't sensical, or i guess that's not even reasons

Brain is telling me to buy this, and not buy it

GLWS, looks and probably sounds like murder in a box
 
That right there is a deadly poweramp that needs a depth mod.

This could use a depth mod in the same way Ronnie Coleman could use more muscle LOL. It ain’t a typical jcm800 or SuperLead
 
This is a platform that can be modded to spec. No one said you need to use all the headroom available. Your amp your sale, good luck.

I could be wrong but I seem to remember these amps and AC/DC had a brief relationship.. ??
