Up for sale is a Showman 65 Clone from Marsh Amplification.

Asking $850 Make an offer!

Details:
Showman 65 Clone 80 Watts
2 channels
"Normal" channel is a Blackface channel
"Vibrato" channel is what Mike Marsh calls "Meloverb"
Both channels have distinct characteristics.
Please note there is no reverb in this amp, only vibrato.

Bought new in January 2020.

Here's the original post I purchased it from:
https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=352324&highlight=&sid=4a31a51c412b48bb198d8e0340705094


This amp is exactly as Mike Marsh has described it. Hand wired point to point tube amp. Does exactly what you would expect it to. Sounds fantastic for steel or guitar, although I found the Blackface or "Normal" Channel really shined with guitar.

I used this amp in studios and played it out at local gigs. Never took it on the road. It has been well cared for, but that being said, there are some light scuffs in the tolex. No tears or holes, just some scuffs. I tried to make them stand out in the photos, but they are not the most noticeable thing.

This is a great amplifier for someone who is after that classic tube tone. It delivers it in a big way, and a lot cheaper than comparable boutique amps. I am selling because I have a Fender Twin that serves the same purpose as this amp for me. I'd love to keep both, but one has to go.



Local sale in Nashville, TN. No shipping
I am willing to travel a significant distance to meet.
I go to Cleveland, OH sometimes, so anywhere between those two cities could work out well.

Thanks for looking!
