Description

This is a rare 2x12 combo version of the Lightning 15 Reverb. The Lightning is an excellent, straightforward design—essentially a half-powered, single-channel take on the DC-30. Matchless amps have come to be known as some of the finest quality modern amps, in terms of tone, build quality and long term reliability. This example remains in very good condition, showing only minor signs of previous wear. Here’s what the manufacturer has to say about it:

"The sound of the Lightning is that very classic EL84 “British Sound”. Much more scooped in the midrange than the Spitfire and Nighthawk, you will quickly see how well it sits in the mix against other instruments. Its clarity and voicing will slice through everything, making you very present.

Actual tonal possibilities are very extensive and it produces loud output volumes not normally associated with a 15 watt rating.The Pro-grade single channel preamp with its interactive tone controls is coupled to a serious dual-EL84 power section with a tube rectifier. All models have active EQ to attain an excellent array of complex tones. User controls include Volume, Interactive Bass & Treble, and Master Volume."

*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.
