can anyone identify if this is a Jose Arredondo amp

[boof]

too bad its on hold I would have been interested.
Is there anyway to identify one?

edit: I should note that it is for sale at a guitar store and was posted a few days ago but is already listed as "on hold" I am going to go have a look tomorrow. its going for about $3400

It could well be.. but it would be easier to identify it by looking at the guts inside!

Is there anything inside that would be a giveaway?

I think he always used those curly telephone cords.

Haha!! Yes i have seen those in a few of them

If you're familiar with the typical Jose Mod like the schematic which is floating around the internet, then you can look out for certain things. A bunch of decent upclose gutshots would be helpful to atleast confirm what kind of mod is inside it.

That is a Jose for sure. I have had many across my bench and thats definitely one of them. You can tell by the layout and lettering and the remote standby jack. Dave

thanks Dave,
I got some PMs from other members here and that seems to be the common theme I hear.
To be honest that Naked amp of yours is still for sale at the same store. If I can I want to hear them back to back tomorrow.

[boof]

3400? Wow.

yup... I have never seen a JOse for sale so dont have any price to compare it to but there is a a 78 1959 superlead bogner marshal for about 30 bucks more than the jose

Boof,
I'm a Jose fan but.......
I don't know if the amp has some nastalgia for you because Jose did the mod but just a few observations. One is that even though Jose modded the amp, you don't know who might of been in it since then...just an observation. Two $3400 is a lot of $$$ to be throwing at a modded amp but to each there own.
Three, there are Guys like Dave Friedman and Mike Fortin who are familiar with those mods and If want to save Money, Id highly recommend having an amp modded by one of them to the Jose Specs. Even if you bought an amp and had the mod done it will be cheaper then $3400 and I can assure you that those guys Know what they are doing and it will sound killer...... Trust me on this!

all in all... Best of luck and I hope this helps!!

Have to run with this unless that amp has some insane history, that scratch you could have Dave or Mike mod 2 amps and that includes the cost of the amps.

and shipped to Tokyo? that raises the cost allot I would guess....
If I was to go the Dave F route I think that I would look at the Naked Amp. (still for sale at the same store for about $2700) Amps are pretty damn expensive here: XTCs sell new for about $5500 and XTC customs for about $6000 new.... herberts are about 4000, CAAs are about $5000 Admittedly yes, the knee jerk reaction is "its a real jose" but if there is something that special about it I will find out tomorrow if it is still there and I can get some one on one time with it.
