Product Description

For sale serviced and working well.

NOTE: This unit is tested and working but won't ship until it has been through our tech. Shipping will be within 10 working days of purchase.

Great spring reverb sound - fared very well in our testing for Tony's Premier Guitar "Lords of the Springs" article. Will also give some useful overdriven distortion; not as full-bodied/gnarly as the Hawk units.
These have some nice touches in the design with 24ms of pre-delay using an internal BBD, and a 200hz high-pass. Described by one of our customers as "spatially convincing", adding that "you can really places sources in the stereo field when sending off 2 sixes, to match your desk panning."

Inputs can be mixed to allow mono signal in to drive both tanks.

Listen to the guitar demo we did for that article (not the unit for sale!), plus you can hear another briefly with beats below.

 

Condition

In excellent cosmetic condition with only minor signs of age to the face, including some dings across the top. The case is very clean with minimal wear. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

Voltage Information

100v Japanese model - it will run on North American mains 115/120v without a transformer (we run all our tests using 120v power); however, a step-down transformer is recommended for extended use. A step-down transformer is required in the UK/EU. We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required.

Tax

For sales in UK/EU the price will include 20% VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number - please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.
