Here is a rare Ampeg ET-2-B Super Echo Twin vintage amplifier. This 30 watt tube combo amp is actually two Reverberockets in one chassis with stereo reverb and tremolo. Fully serviced and ready to rock. There's a video of this item on my YouTube channel, search for User/John Aselin.It is 100% original except for a few replacement capacitors and Switchcraft external speaker jacks professionally installed on beveled aluminum mounting plates. These are a nice addition which allows you to connect an external speaker for a truly wide, spacious reverb effect that is unlike any other that I've heard. The Super Echo Twin can sound chime-y like a Vox-AC30 or dark like an old Gibson amp. When turned up the overdrive is smooth and lush with a unique Ampeg quality. The tremolo is classic and vibe-y. It is an amazing, versatile amp that excels in the recording studio. Most of these amps have been beaten up over the years. This is by far the best example that I've ever come across. The amp is in excellent working condition with very few cosmetic issues. A few small blemishes on the tolex and a medium size chip in the plastic handle but nothing major. The tubes are all original, vintage Sylvania USA made and Ampeg branded including four 7591 and four 6SL7. These factory-installed tubes are over fifty years old but test NOS so they'll probably last a good long while. It also includes the original date-matched alnico Jensen C12Q speakers which are in perfect shape and sound fantastic. The Super Echo Twin takes reverb richness one step further. The slight time delay that accompanies the deep-as-the-ocean speaker driven reverb accentuates the stereo separation since the dry signal is run through one channel while the reverb signal is sent to the second channel. Reverb and tremolo is only available in mono mode on both channels and only on Channel 2 in stereo mode.Also included is the original factory cover, hard-wired foot switch, original two prong power cord, schematic on back panel, tube chart and factory inspection sticker. I've played and owned a lot of vintage amps through the years and this is one of the finest I've come across. It would be a terrific addition to any collection. I am an experienced eBay member with over 1,000 transactions and 100% positive feedback so bid with confidence.
