Notesextremely clean

This Lightning 2x10 combo is from the famed Mark Sampson era (1991-1998) making it one of the most coveted Matchless amplifiers available. The condition can not be over-emphasized; it's about as clean of a ~30 year old amp that we've ever seen. It wouldn't be surprising to hear this amp never saw a gig, and sat in a closet or bedroom most of it's life.

*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.
