After many, many years lusting for, and struggling to find a 100w MCII in Australia, I randomly came across an interesting ARD build for sale in another state. After chatting with the owner and some other local wizard owners about the local ARD lore, I confidently took the plunge despite not being able to hear it in person and I'm so happy I did because this thing is fucking KILLER.

The previous owner told me this amp apparently started life as a Vintage Classic 50w but Rick had modded the amp to W800 specs (without the contour control unfortunately) and also added a foot-switchable 2nd channel. So I guess this is considered a 2 channel 50w VC/W800 hybrid with individual channel volume and gain controls, a solo boost and master volume on the rear of the amp. Happy days! At modest settings it delivers pushed, edge of break up tones to AC/DC to huge, open high gain roar with big vintage character. Haven't even boosted it yet but I'm sure this beast has a lot left to offer. This amp will be with me for a very long time.

Despite that, I can feel an addiction taking root. So the hunt for a 100w MCII wired for 230v continues.

Ah, you got it!.
I was watching that one also and it seemed a little unusual with it's description, and being in another state there was no way to check it out in person.
So glad to see it was legit good.
They're pretty damn rare down here. I adore my VC100 and MCII.
Crank that baby!!
