1969 Ampeg B-12XTC

$1,450.00

This 1969 Ampeg B-12XTC is in great condition. The grill cloth has been recently replaced with period-correct ampeg replacement. The speakers are newer Warehouse C 12-n (Jensen clone). All the tubes are new. The two prong plug was replaced with a grounded plug. Sounds and looks great. The only issue is that these amps are known to have a ticking sound when the tremolo is engaged (enabled with a footswitch) due to the funky circuit they used. You can buy replacement modules specifically made for these (at Fliptops.net). But we just don’t engage the tremolo and consider it not there, and then there is no issue with the amp all… works and sounds amazing.

This item is available in our showroom in Old Town Rock Hill, SC. Visit our showroom.
