Description

Not to be confused with the GA-79RVT, as this unit is without tremolo. This is a unique amplifier with "stereo" features, along with reverb. It features 2 separate output transformers, which makes for an interesting spread of sound amongst the separate inputs. The wedge design is reminiscent of the Watkins Dominator, and features a centrally mounted reverb tank that can make for some sensitivity with reverb usage, as it's very responsive to the vibration of the cabinet. It has a very unique design and great sound!

Internally, the power cord, electrolytic caps, and all coupling caps have been changed. The majority of the original resistors are still intact.

Local pickup only.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
