I heard that these were lousy sounding amps so I went and tried on out. I love it! The pots were so dirty that it was difficult to try and the guy didn't have a footswitch so I didn't get to hear the clean sound. I should probably be looking at replacing the 32 year old filter caps.
I used to thing DeoxIT was expensive, but after getting an '86 Rat for $30 on Saturday and this amp for about half of what they go for and then making them both sound great with the stuff, it's actually pretty cheap!
