    Hey guys, I have a JCM800 2205 'brownface' head which is great, but i just feel the need for another head. So i was looking for a plexi head, a bass 50w plexi head or maybe even a PA type of tone. BUT, since i usually play just straight into the amp and i am accustomed to the reverb of the...

    Hi! Yesterday evening i picked up this nice amp. I really dislike driving at night, but the amp and the nice welcome at the sellers house was well worth the effort. Only had a couple of hours sleep, i just seemed to forget the time for some strange and unexplainable reason :hank :salude...
