That looks rather tempting :o

Nothing to do with the Rat overdrive?

Very interesting but at that price it seems too good to be true.

Must have started life as a Fender Blues Junior? From the price, it must have been a used one.

That's REALLY cheap. Too cheap? Could be worth a punt though......

He's been on eBay quite a while now, and all his feedback's positive.

He does other models based on Epi VJs and Harley Benton GA5s. The price varies depending on how extensive the mods are - some have a "Power Brake" control rather than Power Scaling, and they don't all have upgraded speakers or transformers. So in effect you can choose the features to suit your pocket. It's quite intriguing.

Damn is tempting...thank god I'm skint at mo

I asked him if he had more of them and he said that is the last amp of his that will feature Power Scaling apparently.

sgmypod, I'm in a worse position. I can actually afford one at the moment making it harder to resist pressing that BIN button.

Did he say why? Presumably because it has to be licensed from London Power? Or does he think the Power Brake is better?
