Ampeg J-20 hand-wired tube amp for $385


These have been discontinued by Ampeg - 20 all tube watts and tube tremolo. Originally sold for $699... then $599... then $499... just never really caught on. Apparently these are quite good amps - made in Korea by hand - have nice solid Birch cabinets, 12" alnico speaker, 5AR4 rectifier tube, three 12AX7 and Pair 6V6's - Looks like a heck of a deal for $385 in Chicago right now.

Someone called and I offered the amp for less than my original asking price, I figured it's only fair to share that to anyone interested so I have lowered my asking price. Serious offers are considered. Have a great 4th! I am selling a 2009 Ampeg J-20 Jet Tube Guitar Combo Amp Leave it to the tone-obsessed engineering staff at Ampeg to come up with the no-compromise, 20-watt, all-tube, point-to-point wired J-20 combo. Part of the Diamond Blue Lead Series, the J-20 Jet's retro-styling is highly evocative of the '60s in attitude, as well as tone. J-20's preamp section boasts not one, but three 12AX7 tubes, and its dual 6V6 output stage operates in either cathode- or fixed-biased mode. The end-result of all this "inner tubing" is a guitar combo with controllable vintage "crunch" along with Ampeg's hallmark ease-of-operation. The simple Volume/Tone control setup makes it easy to quickly dial in just the right amount of edge for personal bliss. With its point-to-point wiring, 5AR4 rectifier tube, 12" alnico speaker, and foot-switchable, bias-vary tremolo circuitry, the Ampeg J-20 is a no-compromise guitar combo ideal for even the most tone-obsessed guitarist. * RMS Power Output: 15W (Cathode bias) 20W (Fixed bias) Class AB * Speaker: 1 x 12" alnico * Preamp Tubes: Tubes (3 x 12AX7) * Power Amp Tubes: Tubes (2 x 6V6) * Rectifier: Tube (5AR4) * Controls: Volume, Tone * Effects: Tremolo * Footswitch: Tremolo On/Off * Output: Dual ¼" jacks * Dimensions (W x H x D inches): 20 x 17.5 x 9.75 * Weight: 25 Pounds Warranty: All AMPEG products are covered by a limited warranty.
