Got myself somewhat of a bargain on ebay
Was watching this amp with interest and thought -WOW
I dont know why as it's not the most practical amp to have for home use being 100w with an oversize 4x12
So I put a late bid in on it and to my amazement - won the amp for ...........£570
I mean OMG - this is an amp rig that costs over £2000 fully loaded
The Modules alone would cost over £600, and of course are compatable with my Egnater stuff too
And to make it better George Lynch played this amp at a clinic too and signed it too
This was what the advert said about this amp:
This Lynchbox is a prototype which was flown to the UK for a one night stand in 2006 at the PMT Music store in Birmingham - some of you might have seen him play there. George signed this rig personally while at the gig and from the pictures you can easily see Lynch'es signature on the amp and the cab.
Other things that make this rig very unique is the 'no Lynchbox Logo' on the front of the cab and amp. For those of you who are familiar with this rig the current models all have a glorious (and pretty gaudy) Lynch logo on the front. Because this was a prototype rig this has the regular Randall logo on the front - again making this probably the only Lynch Box rig in this country (and maybe the world) that George played through and signed in this way - there are regular production rigs signed - but it is extremely unlikely that there is another prototype outside of George's own collection.
I did check on this and Randall told Me that in 2006 when this rig was demo'd in the UK at PMT Birmingham these were not in production and neither was the amp. The rig is finished in a dark green crocodile skin (simulated) material which is in excellent condition and I can't find any nicks etc. The cab includes wheels but no cover. This rig has never been gigged other than by George himself and has been in a state of storage since. These are all very rare in the UK and cost the earth if you can find one - partly because of the weight and size for shipping from the USA where these are made. Randall introduced the George Lynch Signature Series Lynch Box guitar speaker cabinet and amp in production from 2006. To reproduce the Lynch Box tone, George developed the exact speaker cabinet specifications he was looking for, resulting in a huge sounding guitar speaker cab with thick, smooth mid-range and defined highs. This slightly oversized rear port speaker cabinet is constructed by hand using a combination of void-free birch plywood and a high density fiberboard for tight projecting tone. If you're a fan of the Lynch tone this is the guitar rig you've been waiting for. Randall MTS Series Lynch Box Signature 300W 4x12 Guitar Extension Cabinet Features: 300 Watts RMS George Lynch Signature Eminence Super V speakers 3/4" void free birch 8 Ohm mono input I can tell you there is no cab much greater than the power of this one. If you always go for a loud defined rock sound, if you always go for hard rocking guitar riffing or metal jamming, then there is no need for hesitation on this rig - it excells at this style.
This gives this rig, with these speakers and rear tuned porting an awesome tone, but It is awesome and similar in quality and tone to Mesa Boogie, Engl Amps. You can get a thoroughly MODERN METAL sound depending on exactly which preamp you use - but no matter, this rig sounds awesome.
The Amp comes with EL34's fitted, but you can use 6L6 or even KT77 and many other tubes because of the way this amp is designed. You can even mix tube types in this amp. Biasing is a simple matter that anyone can do. There is a Parallel and Serial loop. The FOOTSWITCH is included (it is a brand new one bought just a couple of months ago - the original was missing).
I know I got the bargain of the year.
The seller was really cool and organised careful shipping, which was great and I know he is a bit annoyed at how cheaply it went for - but ebay is deadly quiet in August when the weather is nice and people are away on holiday.
