Just got the acoustic 136 combo on craigslist for a steal of $80 from a really nice guy that said he bought it for $80 and wanted to sell it for the same because it was the right thing ( probably a first on craigslist). the 136 ( which appears to be actually a 140 head) is really cool cause the amp and cab can used completely separate so the 220 head can be used with the 15" cab and goes really good with it.

It removes the ground on your XLR out cable... used to eliminate hum if the different parts of your equipment happen to be on different grounds.

Ground lift switch: Professional audio equipment intended for use with balanced lines may have a ground lift switch for the cable shield. The ground lift switch eliminates unwanted hum and buzz by interrupting the ground loops between equipment, preventing the flow of current along the cable shield between two devices. The switch disconnects pin 1 on the XLR jack, which is connected to the braid or foil shield in the cable and acts as the ground point of the circuit.

Ground lifts do not conform to Audio Engineering Society standard AES48.
 
Jthe 136 ( which appears to be actually a 140 head) is really cool cause the amp and cab can used completely separate so the 220 head can be used with the 15" cab and goes really good with it.
Just to confirm, the 130 series (134, 135, 136, 137) are all based on the 140/150 series amps which in turn were based on the 150/150B line from the previous generation.

NICE!! I'm looking now for some vintage Acoustic products, mainly for home use, 'cos I leave the B100 at church.
 
Aww thanks for letting me join the group guys! I hope i can perform to the best of my abilities....provided I don't have too many cocktails before i perform in which case you take what you get!

Does group contain guys with "new" Acoustic gear or is it just wonderful vintage stuff?

It's both new and vintage and everywhere in between, all Acoustic owners welcome here. :D
