Not my amp but this one looks like a good deal. These are nice tube amps - bright and clear tone with nice breakup after 5 or 6 - similar to a VIbochamp though these ar e a bit louder and just one tremolo knob instead of the Fender's two.
I'd buy it myself but the wife won't let me have more than 4 amps in our condo at one time (can you imagine that). these usually go for about $300 - $350 online. So this one is a very good deal - $180 SHipped!
Here's the link. Better grab it fast...

Note - there are some more photos of this exact same amp at the Elderly Instruments site - they sold it to this guy a while back and still have the photos posted - it ain't very pretty - but it should work and sound fine.
Yeah - I know I do alot of "browsing" online - but that's the only way to find the really good deals ain't it?

Yeah - I am gonna get my arse kicked by the wife but couldn't resist...
I am selling my Fender Champ 12 to make room for this one... can't wait to hear plug into this old Epi. The circuit is identical to a Gibson GA-5T and my Amp tech tells me the 6AQ5's are similar to EL84's and the "tonestack" in this amp is just like an old Vox AC15 so should be a nice balance to the 6v6 amps I have now.
As far as Fuzz... I have one of the coolest Fuzz pedals IMO - very unusual - it is a Sabine FuzStortion - and has 5 knobs on it including both trebble and midrange - can dial in anythign from a Maestro to a full on Big Muff - I friggin' love the thing. Check one out if you ever get the chance - way cool!
