- Tons of clean power and EA quality in an under 3lb amplifier.
- 550w into a 4 ohm cabinet or 350w into an 8 ohm cabinet.
- 2.1"H x 8.5"W x 5.4"D and a staggering 2.3lbs
I've had it about 10 years and played a bunch of gigs with it, these are everything they are supposed to be. I'll include the Amazon lunch box that I use as a case for it. Fits like it was intended for this purpose and I paid an extra $2 to get it in EA red!
There are 2 on Reverb right now for $885 and $869. The values are likely to keep going up. They will be like getting a Walter Woods when there were still plenty of good ones around and people didn't miss them so much yet. This one is in VERY CLEAN shape, arguably mint, but I won't make that argument, because someone might see that differently than I do. I am happy to take more photographs if it makes a difference.

You know you want it! You DESERVE it!
Why am I selling? What's wrong with me? Fair question.
I might just be a little gear restless, but I'm rethinking what I have sitting around and what I would really make the best use of. If you follow me (and really why wouldn't you?) You'll know that I've been considering a small amp/small gig option. Historically for me that was this head and a 10" Wizzy Cab.
My larger amp is a Euphonic Audio iAmp 500 combo. I bought this head and the 10" Wizzy via our classifieds years ago as a "tough load/small room/polite trio" solution, but ended up using it 90% of the time, because I was lazy and it was really good. It was always enough with any band in any room and it sounded very good. A 12" M-Line cabinet fell into my lap during the pandemic through a local contact and I thought it sounded better than smaller cabinet and reasoned that it wasn't really that much heavier, so I traded the 10" cabinet and took a little cash with the deal, which I needed at the time.
The M-Line does sound nice. Nicer than the 10" Wizzy did and marginally nicer than the original 12" Wizzy in the combo, depending on the room. Driven with either head, there is not much contrast between my "too-heavy unless there is a really good loading" option and this micro-head + M-Line option either in sound or weight. The head + M-Line is maybe 10# lighter and I can split it into two carries or a bag and a hand carry, but it's not really enough smaller that it's worth having both and I've had a few carry-several-urban-blocks gigs and I need something more portable. Seattle is hilly and wet and urban.
Logically my options are to buy another small cabinet and keep this amazing head or pick up a legitimately small and light combo and I'm leaning toward the later and buying a luggage cart for my larger EA combo.
If this doesn't sell or if a good small cabinet shows up in my life before this does, then I'll keep it, because it is killer and like the Wizzy 10", I know that I'll regret selling it, but here's your chance.
If it sells, I plan to Black Friday a small combo. If you have a great, DB friendly one, but feel like you want more headroom, I won't rule out a trade, but I'm really kind of zero'ed in on one of the 15-21# Traynor or GK options, so I didn't post it that way, because it seems unlikely.
