Description Brand: Guild Model: T1RVT Exact Year: 1965 Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
GUILD T1 RVT ..True Thunder Reverb tube amp. Has 3 inputs normal, bright and mic. Comes with extremely rare original foot switch. This is the model with built in selectable tremolo channel which is awsome and works perfectly. Has bass treble.. speed and strength knobs for tremolo channel.. Reverb knob and pull out the volume knob for bright channel. There are a couple issues my cat decided to turn it into a scratch post so speaker fabric cover is torn upper left corner. See pics. Also this cat ripped the smaller of the 2 speakers. Believe it's an 8 in and 12 inch full range amp. So the 8 in speaker is ripped but 12 is perfect.. even tho it's ripped she still sounds oh so sweet.. Quick search revealed 8in cts vintage speakers from 25 to 50 bucks on ebay.. so that's a cheap easy fix.. again sounds amazing the way it is but prob get a bit of noise from the 8in cone at high volumes.. Also reverb seems to have stopped working..You can hear it swith on with foot pedal but the acuaul sound coming out of amp has no reverb or echo.. Guy at my local music store told me cheap easy fix but to hell if I remeber what he said it was.. Come to think of it i think the reverb only goes to small speaker so maybe has something to do with small speaker cone torn.? Tubes seem to be all good this thing has a sweet warm tone you wont find in any of todays amps. Overall she is in great shape for her age minus the couple issues explained.. This is a true rare bird hate to part with it don't have the room to store it anymore.. My price reflects actual 1200 value minus what it will take to fix 8in speaker and reverb. Offers welcome but don't bother with low balls. I have a short video of amp being played on reg and tremolo channels.. Trying to get it up on YouTube will post a link when I have it or serious buyers I can email it to no problem. No returns it works perfectly and thats guaranteed. Serious buyers only. This amp has been in my family since new purchased by my grandfather 1966. 2 owners him and me. Ship same business day. PayPal only. Ships worldwide buyer pays for shipping. 1-12 in. speaker and one smaller speaker for reverb, seven tube chassis, preamp: 3 X 12AX7, 1 X 6BM8, power: 2 X GW8, rectifier: 6CA4, guitar combo, single channel, reverb, tremolo, front control panel, three inputs, six knobs (r, s, i, b, t, v), mfg. circa 1965-68
