That's an awesome-looking amp with an awesome name. It better sound spacey!

I think it's grossly underpriced if it sounds like Italian Spiderman. It's perhaps the only amp macho enough to be able to grow a fake moustache.

Forget the name. €361? Someone got a bargain. That thing was stuffed full of fully working old Mullard EL34s and preamp valves too. Likely worth what they paid for the whole amp!!! :mrgreen:

Sitting in my friendliest local guitar shop...

I should really try it but I'd probably just want to buy it! :lol:

Nice. Is that one pretty old? If it is like I think, that last R on the input must be radio. Great condition too.

Yeah, round 1960 looks like. Dutch company which existed from the '40s to '80s.

You may be right on the radio bit. Probably microphone, gramophone and radio I'd guess. It isn't a dedicated instrument amp at all, more a small 12W PA job with various line voltage outputs (and 8 ohms also) available.

Wasn't really thinking about grabbing it - shop wanted too much frankly. But sometimes these things really are worth checking out. I have a vaguely similar Japanese 10W TOA PA amp myself from the '70s which does sound really good for guitar. Phenomenal in fact, and it cost me all of 25 quid... :mrgreen:

That looks awesome. I've seen people turn old integrated tube gramophones into guitar amps.
