This auction is for a VVT Nighthawk guitar amp. This amp was handmade by Jim Hill of VVT in Maryland, USA. The circuit is based on a Fender Tweed Bassman. It is a single channel amp. It features toggle switches for bright, jump and bump. It has a master volume that does not suck tone but can also be removed from the circuit by turning fully counter clockwise. It also features a 15 inch Eminence Legend speaker. This is basically a 'bassman in a box' that you can pick up and carry anywhere. The amp weighs around 40 lbs. The master volume is one of the best I've ever heard and allows you to use this amp for many different sized rooms and allows you to make clean tones very loud or over driven tones not too loud. The bottom is tight and never flubs out. The clean tones are amazing. The amp and speaker are both broken in and the over drive tones are beautiful. I am the original owner (purchased June 2012). This was my 'go to' amp for 3 years or so and then I purchased another VVT amp. This amp has been my back up for a couple of years now. I hesitate to put this amp for sale but I am hoping to fund another project. Please see the pictures showing two tears in the cover. Please feel free to email any questions.Here is a link to a youtube video of Bill Holter playing through a VVT Nighthawk live. >>>>>>sorry<<<<<ebay would not let me post a link :( <<<<<you may go to youtube and search "Bill Holter of Vintage#18 band live May 7, 2016".
