There's a very special story behind my old Marshall 12 watt amp. I bought it in a small very beautiful town somewhere in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The guy at the music store was asking somewhere in the area of $235.00 for it. After testing it I said, "Ill give you 200 and he instantly said, "SOLD!" It was quite a surprise, but I must admit I left the store feeling I should have offered less money.
That was, like, over 20 years ago and now I got this new amp for friggin $149.00 and it does everything besides clean my house and give me a blow job!!!

It's an awesome little amp and just what I needed
You see, the reverb broke on the other amp and so I was using it with the Zoom guitar effects pedal...which meant dealing with more cables and another friggin wall-wart, blah, blah, blah.... Now, with the footswitch controller I'm all set! It does everything I need!!!
Then I left that town and had to go over the mountains with my van and a small U-Haul trailer. I don't remember there being any snow in the small Colorado town, but the road up in the mountain was suddenly surprisingly slick with a thin sheet of very dangerous ice!!! I would apply my brakes and the vehicle would not stop!! It would slide on the ice and I'm high up in the friggin Rocky Mountains!!! Scared the living **** out of me for there were lots of cars moving slowly in front of me and behind me. A guy was outside his car waving his hands in a gesture telling people to go slow and continually lightly pump the brakes. I felt certain I was going to crash and...I didn't!!!!
((( MIRACLE!!!! )))
So this little Marshall amp is like a museum piece to me. I'd like to preserve it. Suddenly, I can't remember telling ANYONE about the story behind this little amp. Hmmm.
