Guytron Amps GT-100 Half Stack
100 watt Head
2x12 Speaker Cabinet
USED! Just in on trade!!
Used! Just in on trade from one of my long time, regular clients. This amp was sold new by my shop back in the late 1990’s / early 2000’s and is now back on trade. We sold these hand-over-fist at one time, and to many legendary players too - guys like Mike Landau, Jon Herrington, Walter Becker, and more. This is one of the early “pre FV” models. Included in this “Half Stack” is the GT-100 Head and matching 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet loaded with a pair of great sounding speakers. The amp was gigged occasionally but has been in storage for many years now. It shows some signs of use cosmetically but was well cared for overall and does not have any serious issues, damage, repairs, or modifications. Like all our used/vintage gear it has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as-is. What you see is what you get. Please Note: We will consider selling the cabinet separately, but not the head without the cabinet.
Designed for the working musician at any level or in any size room, the GT100 endeavors to eliminate the need for a "library" of different vintage amps, as well as the guess work of which one to use for a given club or band site. It has been our (and probably your) experience that nothing beats the sound of a cranked up vintage tube amp.
Once you've owned and used most of the highly desirable and collected vintage tube amps long enough to get sick of carrying them, repairing them, and/or dealing with their limitations; you would likely discover that there are enough tonal similarities between them, that it just might be possible to design an 'everything amp'. Basically, it would have to be an amp that would hit on all the essential tones you might need during any given night.
Simply include everything you truly need and exclude everything that you don't really need. Then throw in a few dream features, like a master volume control that actually works, with a pre-amp section that actually sounds and acts like a cranked amp at any volume, and usable channel switching that doesn't require tonal adjustment when you switch channels. Add a studio grade, transformer driven effects loop capable of running anything from vintage pedals to 'state of the art' rack effects. The result would be the GT100.
All the sounds from the GT100 are available with an absolute minimum of knob turning and tweaking. The amp is a true marriage between old, trusted tones and new proven technology and application. Every knob or switch is necessary to address a real musical or functional need, and even these are kept to a minimum for simple operation, a minimum of "back turned to the audience" time, and a maximum of musical enjoyment.
All Guytron products are designed from a reliability and usability standpoint. Over built to the hilt, and with great attention to detail, the GT100 design incorporates hand wound, paper bobbin, interleaved transformers, metal shaft pots, and top of the line "over spec" components throughout. The printed circuit boards are made from the finest FR4 mil-spec material, thru plated, and coated. This is done for maximum reliability. All components are selected with equal importance laid on tone, durability, and continued availability. As a result, our amps sound more consistent, with the primary variable being choice of tubes.
Channel switching is done with ultra-fast gold-plated relays, and the circuit board is laid out for lowest crosstalk and signal degradation. The electronic components are all over specifications by as much as 50%, therefore the likelihood of anything serious breaking down is kept to an absolute minimum.
