Details

A RARE beast out in the wild and for sale!!

The ARKHAM BEAST OF BOTH WORLDS!

I'm only selling as I'm getting a vintage Wurlitzer for my home studio and need to gather funds. I have a 1965 Ampeg B15 as well as a 1967 Ampeg SB12. The Arkham BOBW is a wonderful modern take on these classics sounds. There's something special about the preamp design matched with this amount of power! The word "heft" comes to mind. TONAL AUTHORITY!

This particular unit was recently serviced by Micah himself (the man behind Arkham Sound) and given a clean bill of health.

While I will certainly miss the Beast, I'm sure the next owner will treat it well and enjoy the experience!

I'm including a custom Studio Slips carry bag, made for this unit. Minus a couple scratches and the slight imprint of a sticker on top, this thing is in great shape.

$1350 shipped and insured, ConUs.
ONLY trade interest
would be an Aguilar DB112.
You can find this listing on Reverb for those that need a payment plan ;)

I've heard this amp IRL, it sounds fantastic. Had absolutely nothing to do with the player...100% amp. In fact, I don't even think he was using his fingers. He was just willing the notes to come out and the amp happily obliged.
