Reverb and delay in particular are very good, easily programmable and varied - the delay has also got tap tempo from the footswitch.
The effects loop can run in series/parallel/floor level/line level and can be programmed as such.

I bought because I could go from playing very clean Fender cleans with a touch of reverb, kick one button and change to a Marshall crunch with some delay (then tap-tempo controlled), kick another button to add some chorus for rhythm sounds and maybe a little more gain, kick another button engage the effects loop in parallel with a tuner in and get a crystal clear 10db volume boost for lead sounds with a different delay preset and no tone change whatsoever. There are no Michael Flatley Riverdance impressions from jumping on a load of different pedals and they're very good, usable tones.

Just surplus to requirements now.
Interested in anything potentially but cash is king - open to fretboard members for bargain price of £350 collected.

I won't ship it but I could travel reasonable distance from S. Wales. Any questions then ask.

Looks like a cracking amp mate.

That's the one. Thanks for that. Great amp, I'm just going back to clean amp and fuzz pedal setup.

keithf

very tempted indeed

Sorry if this sounds obvious, but is it a head or combo you are selling?!

AlexHunter

100 watt head.

johnnyurq

This is a really good head in very good nick too. 

Used to be mine until no gigging meant it had to go.

Alex,I've sent a message via facebook i believe

StefB

Are you definitely not able to ship this Alex?

AlexHunter

Sorry for delay, only just seen this.
Would prefer not to ship. Pictures to follow this evening or tomorrow.

AlexHunter

Pictures bump - Fender, Marshall, Mesa and effects board in one amp.

That's a lot amp for the money. Someone will get a bargain here.

AlexHunter

It's a massive amount of amp for the money. Don't be put off by the MIDI either, it's very simple - you just select which bank you want on the footswitch (stomp on it), set the amp up like you would a normal amp - tweak the eq, volume, set your effects loop if required, add onboard effects to taste then push and hold the store button - thats it.

AlexHunter

Bump, still here.

AlexHunter

trades? guitars, amps, cabs, pa stuff, effects......

AlexHunter

This is silly cheap for a German built amp of this quality. Offers? Could trade up or down.

AlexHunter

On hold pending the usual

If your buyer wants the official matching footswitch let me know as I just picked one up but it doesn't do what I want.

Sorry to hijack,but if there's no takers, I'd be interested in it as a spare.

Hi Alex - did the Switchblade sell?
