Ampeg VT-120 head with Ampeg footswitch for sale in excellent condition.
$500

I would rate it at a 9/10. It was just serviced by local amp legend Jim Walton. If you have been in the area for a while, you probably know of him. It has less than 10 minutes playing time since it was serviced.

This is a very rare amp that was released in the late 80s.

* I have owned this amp for about 17 years.
* Never gigged it.
* Studio kept. Non-smoking, Pet free environment.

This is a 120 watt, 3 channel monster. This is a KILLER amp, especially for the money. You can get everything from pristine cleans to a slight overdrive, full blown crunch and massive hard rock tones. It takes pedals well and is packed full of features like presence, reverb, pentane/triode mode, ½ power switch almost every kind of speaker output you can imagine. Full Specs are included below.

I am just outside of Philadelphia and would prefer to deal with someone semi-local. You are welcome to come pick it up or I am willing to drive an hour or so to meet.

I accept Cash & Paypal F&F at time of pickup.
