Up for sale is an extremely rare 1963 Gibson Titan V Tube Guitar Amplifier in amazing condition inside and out. Only 27 of these elliptical versions were ever made and this one came from a Nashville Studio before it found its way to Al Forbes at Alpha Sound. He recaped it with Sprague Atom Filter caps and tested all tubes, he also replaced the power chord. It is in perfect working condition and is shockingly pristine for an amp this old. It is LOUD !! ... very loud. It will shake your pants legs from 20 feet away and will still stay clean, but can be over-driven. You can change the 12AU7 tube to a 12AX7 for more gain and more of a Marshall sound if you want.
It features 2 JBL D130 15" speakers which are the moist efficient guitar speakers ever made, and all the original parts besides the replaced filter caps. It has the tilt back leg and locking mechanism for the head as well as 4 caster wheels. Tube compliment: three 6EU7 and two 12AU7 preamp tubes, one 6FQ7 push pull driver, four 6L6GC power tubes and a solid state rectifier. Also an QA3 voltage regulator tube. All tubes are old stock and test good. It has 2 channels with volume, treble, mid-range, and bass controls that can be run in parallel for more gain if wanted. The EQ is extremely musical and the tremolo is one the best I have ever heard.
Only minor signs of age on the heads edges and some small dings dents and scratches. This is a wonderful sounding amp, the clean sound is just amazing, glassy and thick !!Amplifier needs to be shipped in 2 boxes. I will pay for the head and the buyer pays for the cabinet. It will be packed professionally and with insurance. I would be willing to drive up to 100 miles from Charlotte NC in any direction to do a meet and greet. Sold AS-IS in perfect working condition but I will take a return if you are unhappy, return must be delivered to Charlotte at buyers expense. Any questions feel free to call me at 704-619-6147, my name is Mark.
