This is my 1999 VHT Pittbull 45 Watt Combo Amp in classy white tolex. It has a USA made WGS Retro 30, 75w, 8Ω spkr and it sounds fabulous. It functions perfectly and is a tone monster. The EL84's are JJ's and have less than 100 hours on them. It was re-tubed and biased in March. The tolex is in excellent condition with only a few very tiny dings/tears, and I mean very small. Not a single "big" tear. There are no brown stains on the tolex, those are shadows. The entire cabinet tolex is pure white.This amp was proudly made in California, 100% USA all the way. The quality of the build is, shall we say heavy duty?Pick it up locally and save $100 (Tampa Bay area)!The reverb and effects loop on this amp are phenomenal as well. The reverb is pure and very "Fenderish", in a good way and the effects loop can be switched from Parallel to Series at the flick of a button. How cool is that?This amp has so many tonal options it's difficult to go over them all here, but I'll try. Included is the original VHT FC-4 Foot Controller (not pictured) and AC power cable. I'll also print out the manual, the tube chart and the Tube Biasing instructions for when you replace power tubes. It will be packed securely and insured when shipped to you. The BIN price includes the shipping / insurance cost. Please know that the shipping cost is approx. $90 (+ the packaging materials & time) for this amp, and that is included in the price.Features: This is a dual channel amp, 45w all tube, with a large amount of tone changing options. It is powered by 4 EL84s and has 2 12AX7s in the preamp section. It can be run in Class A or Class A/B. It has an effects loop which is foot-switchable and switches from series to parallel at the press of a button. It has a 3 way ground to quiet it down in some of those pesky places with florescent lighting or "dirty" power.TONE: I use this amp with a PRS Santana III, a Legator Helio HDC 300 and a couple of Fender Strats, enabling me to play a variety of music from blues and funk to Santana, Little Feat and metal, but my primary genre is straight out rock. This amp has a massive range of features which make it very versatile, and it can be incredibly loud if you want to go there. The clean channel in class A/B mode sounds a lot like a Hiwatt or Marshall clean - it's a nice warm clean and extremely touch responsive - even without the boost the clean starts to crunch mildly as you hit the strings a little harder. The Mid Shift makes the clean sound a little more American, but it retains all of its key qualities. If you engage the foot-switchable boost on the clean channel, you get some great bluesy crunches.  In Class A mode, this clean channel pretty much becomes a Vox AC30. It dosen't quite get that signature Vox jangle, but it comes very close. Kick in the Bright Switch and the tone thickens out a lot. If you hit the boost, we get into some great Brian May (from Queen) style tones.  The overdrive channel in Class A seems to overlap this slightly, but as you turn the gain up past 5, it starts to develop a bit of an edge. Max out the gain in Class A and you get a classic rock rhythm tone similar to that of say AC/DC. Again, engaging the boost thickens it out a lot, and I like to do this when I'm playing leads or solos.  If you Switch this channel to Class A/B, it gains much more of an edge. EQ'd correctly, this will easily go from Jimi Hendrix to Metallica (provided the boost is used) but I don't think it would have enough gain for heavy metal without added boost.  The Edge button is described as a 'Frequency Based Gain Boost' and this is a great function I've never seen before on an amp - basically, it means that the higher up the neck you're playing, the more gain there'll be. Its a great passive solo boost!  I wish all my amps had the "Edge" feature. It's my go-to tone now.The shift moves the emphasis in the EQ from a Marshall-y upper mid to a more Mesa Boogie style low mid. I wouldn't say the difference is quite as drastic is that, but it makes a big difference to the tone!  EQ'ing this amp is fairly straightforward, but you need to take an hour or two to become familiar with its features. Because of the similar voicings of both channels, EQs are usually usable on both channels, but if you like a very hi-gain tone then you may need to tweak an EQ that you set on the clean channel to add a little clarity.FRONT PANEL
