Unable to communicate or ship 10/22--11/9. Will be back in communication 11/9.

1970 Super Trem 100W Superlead with "Bay Area Thrash mod" by FourT6and2 (Mike). In addition to the mod itself, this amp was completely gone through by Mike and maintenance performed where needed, fine tuned, and tested. Below is the list of things that were done.

Bay Area Thrash mod
Filter cap replacement-All F&T
Depth
Slope switch-Shifts mid frequencies-Down=more upper mid grind and Up=scoop but NOT SCOOPED...lol
Variable NFB
FX Loop

The amp has original output transformer but the power tranny was replaced at some point with a Mercury Magnetics (see pics for model). Will ship with power cord, JJ EL34 power tubes and (2) EH 12ax7, (1) JJ 12ax7, and a Sovtek LPS. The power on indicator lamp unfortunately has a mind of its own and is on/off intermittently.

This is a plug straight in--no boost needed-amp. Still takes boosts incredibly well, but in no way needs one.
Extremely low noise floor, super quiet amp.
Insanely rich, raw, and organic gain structure with a warmth and clarity that I've not experienced in any other amp (Lots of vintage components, including mustards).
Despite the warmth, it has a wicked growl, tons of aggression and bite with killer attack.
There are no harsh frequencies with this amp and there's an extreme range of tones and textures possible despite the simple feature set...every tone control has a huge impact.
Huge low end if dialed that way that stays plenty tight but with some great give behind it...not stiff whatsoever.
Has that awesome bouncy-juicy midrange that makes it hard to stop playing.
Amp punches hard and moves lots of air when wound up but sounds great at low to moderate volumes too.


$5850 shipped and insured PP FF or buyer pays PP fee or Zelle. The Only trade I'd be interested in is a Peters Plasma Blade 100w or a Peters Firehammer 100w and cash on top on your end.

Friday night price drop bump. This is the most unique amp I've owned and pains me to even bump. Think the best Bogner chewy goodness you can imagine with the most aggressive, warm but cutting greasy ass grinding upper mids and growling low mids you've ever heard.

Most gnarly, growling, greasy, yet uncompresed modded Marshall ever. Addictive to play.
 
This amp is absolutely crushing. I also implemented additional filtering for the extra gain stages to keep things tight. The OT is the original, highly sought after Dagnall C1998 with the glass self leads.
