This is really cool. You are looking at a Vintage 1980's Seymour Duncan Convertible 100 Watt Amp. Also included is a 1x12 Extension Cabinet. Very Rare. And if that isn't enough, 2 extra pre amp modules! By changing out the pre amp modules, you can change the sound of this amp to nearly any sound you want it just seconds.
This is a 100 watt all tube combo with 2 switchable channels, spring reverb and a 100 watt 12” speaker. It has a 5U4 rectifier tube, 4 x EL34 power tubes, 2 x 12AX7 and 1 x 12AU7 along with whatever tubes are in the modules you install.But that’s not all folks…This amp has interchangeable preamp modules making it an all-tube forerunner to the “modeling” amps of today. Included with the amp are 7 modules: 2 Normal, 3 Classic, 1 Hi-Gain Tube, 1 Hi-Gain hybrid. Modules alone are selling on eBay for $100 each.This amp uses unique “load resistor plugs” to match its input impedance to many different types of guitar pickups from standard electromagnetic pickups to low impedance pickups, piezo transducers, and electromagnetic acoustic pickups. The Convertible 100 also has a continuously variable wattage output control allowing you to select from 5 to 100 watts in pentode mode or 3 to 60 watts in triode mode. You can also control this with a passive volume pedal. It’s not actually true variable power but more like a different sort of master volume control.Another unique feature of the Convertible is “Variable Damping.” This changes the amount of control the amplifier has on the speaker. High damping increases control of the speaker and gives you a crisper, tighter sound. Low damping decreases control of the speaker and gives you a looser, fatter sound with more presence. There is a dedicated “Variable Damping Out” speaker jack for this.Jeff Beck endorsed the Convertible back in the late 1980’s. Joe Bonamassa is a big fan and has a couple of these amps.The Convertible 100 is 19.75” high, 18.78” wide, 11.38” deep and weighs 57 lbs.But what is really cool, is the 1x12 Matching Extension Cabinet. You NEVER see these EVER. In the Ext Cab is the original Seymour Duncan 100 Watt 8 ohm speaker built by Eminence.Complete Package with Original Footswitch!
