Im getting Standel poor again........
This is a 2channel piggyback model w/2x12 cabinet, featuring the hybrid amp design of the early 60's(comb.tube/solid state). The cab is loaded w/two original 12" Jensen blue-caps, as sweet as Ive seen and heard.
Stacked controls left to right are(tremolo channel):
Volume/Contour, Bass/Treble, Intensity/Speed.
(normal channel): Volume/Contour, Bass/Treble.
Spkr. output, on/off and standby switches located on back panel and front panel lights up when in use.
Inputs on front panel(sorry, no "hide-a-jack")
Ive gigged the amp and everything on it works great, Im just not a 2x12 closed back cabinet guy, and this should go to someone who is. The Imperial is quite suitable for either steel or elec. guitar and has that retro sound that new amps just dont have. If I hadnt just scored an Imperial XV, the XII would stay parked in its current location......... Ive tried the XII head with a 15" JBL cab and the sound is virtually unrecognizable from a Custom XV model in that application.
Cosmetic condition is 6-7; head appears to have been recovered and spkr cab. has a small tear low on the grill cloth and a few small abraisions on the corners, but still original and quite presentable. Hardware is all present and functional including trim, logos, handles and threaded chassis locks.
$850.00+shipping in continental US.
thanks for looking!
sincerely,
MC |
