Description Brand: Gibson Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Gibson RTV 79 Stereo Amp. True Stereo Amp. I have owned many vintage tube amps including Fender Tweed Twins, Bassmans, Deluxes, Harvards, Champs as well as many Magnatones, Gibsons, Marshalls etc. This has to be one of the very best sounding amps ever to experience. This is comparable to owning two tweed Fender Tweed Deluxe Amps plus Reverb and Tremolo.
This has the early Clapton Tone - beautiful sustain and just the right edge of distortion when cranked. It offers separate outs for external speakers. Aspen Pitman in the groove tubes book, listed the Gibson RTV 79 in his top ten of favorite amps. the amp itself is quite a rare bird—only 335 were manufactured in 1962, at its peak of production, and just 39 in its final year, 1967
These amps are true stereo featuring two separate 15 watt amplifiers Stereo each side and 30 Watts Mono. Channel one, offers lush reverb and swampy tremolo, the second channel alone in stereo is dry, however when switched to Mono plugged into channel one, you get effects out of both speakers at 30 Watts, this is how they were made.
You can find various links to this amp and it’s specs. It has two ten inch C10Q Jensen speakers. It sounds awesome good and breaks up with just right amount of distortion when cranked. It comes with original two button footswitch.
Cosmetically it has normal wear and tear, dings, cigarette burns, stains and some of the lettering on the chassis is faint or missing, two of the stacked knobs have the tops replaced. These can found listed for $4400 so it is priced to sell. I have had the pots cleaned and connections. It works and sounds wonderful. Because it is older electronics it is sold as is. Though it works fine here, it is sold as is. I will invoice you for total with shipping when you place winning bid. Please disregard EBay's shipping price, I will charge $150 flat shipping and insurance for lower 48 states, elsewhere would be more, will not ship out of continental Usa. Thanks!
