My verbose description

62 Watts per side (class AB) or 50 Watts per side (class A), EL34 poweramp. European voltage model 230v, 50/60 hz.

I’ve been using this for some time to power my Axe Fx II, however I’ve decided to simplify things and just get an amp head, as I don’t need/want that extreme level of versatility anymore.

The 2/50/2 poweramp is very good for that application as it is pretty clear and neutral as far as tube poweramps go, though with the voicing switch, presence and resonance controls, you can add a lot of flavour to the sound. It would excel in a W/D/W rig or as power for any other preamp.

It can get very loud, however the master volume is probably one of the smoothest I’ve ever used, no problem at all getting bedroom volumes. The level switch makes it even easier (-10db pad at input).

Condition is excellent, very minor rack rash on the rack mounting (pictured) and the line on one of the presence knobs is slightly worn off (pictured).

I’ve only used it at home since I got it, never gigged by me. Previous owner had it retubed by Mike Hill Services in 2016 (see sticker on the back) and from what I remember didn’t use it too much since then, so the tubes should still have plenty of life left.

These seem pretty rare in the UK, I haven’t seen one for sale since I bought this one. Price new is $1,600 US, once import tariffs and VAT is added on its much more than that. Read about it here:

I can deliver reasonable distances or meet somewhere, also included is a well-used SKB 6-space rack case (pictured) so I can ship it.

Any questions, please ask.
