If the price does not reach what I believe to be realistic, I will be keeping it, as im not desperate to sell it.


Can he do that? He hasn't set a reserve, so by the rules, he has to sell surely - Probably just couldn't afford the extra ebay fees for setting a reserve :P

so the only (and lets face it - the best - effect is reverb) all the settings lead to the reverb channel


Shocking use of punctuation!

remember how a certain Mr.Van Halen achieved his tone in the early days?? this is exactly the same

The only reason Im selling this one is that Its my backup amp


Well it's obviously cr@p then or it wouldn't be a backup, would it :P

please be realistic when bidding! you wont find a better modded amp for such a price in England - Period!


2 Problems with this one:

1) I probably could find a better amp that hasn't been modded (or one that have if that's the rules he's setting) for whatever he considers a reasonable price

2) WTF is a "Period"?! He mentions being in England, so why use American lingo? :P



I think I've made my feelings on this matter clear :drink:

^ i think "period" used to mean "full stop" is american.

anyway, i have an avt100 i want rid of. It only has 3 channels, but I'm sure I could rip the knobs off one of the channels to approximate his "hot-rodded" version...

A bit like buying a Lada Riva with Alloy wheels and a stainless steel exhaust.

Do e-bay supply their own brand of Turd-polish, or is it a bring your own affair?

Lets say the mention of hand wired started me laughing.

The whole thing made me start laughing.  How exactly by combining channels in pairs of two is it going to take a piece of shite amp and make it less of a piece of shite?
