It arrived earlier in the week. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to spend too much time with it until this evening. I traded my Mark V head for this beautiful combo. I have disconnected the internal speaker and using it like a head through my Bogner OS 2x12. So far, I’m loving this amp. I dialed in a lead tone I am very satisfied with in about 3 to 5 minutes. Very open and sustains very well. The lead tone is very musical. I’ll give more of a review after a couple of weeks with the amp.
I did a quick cover of my favorite Satriani tune (If I Could Fly). I’ll post a heavier clip by this weekend but put this one together to show off the lead tone I dialed in. Sounds great to my ears!

Nice live sustain from that thing.
Did you run it full out?
Which wattage position?

Thanks! I have the master set at 4. It is running in 100w Simul-Class.
Added backing track if anyone cares to give it a try. Used the amps’ clean channel for the right side and my acoustic plugged straight into the mic preamp for the left:

I’ll reply to questions when I get back from my dentist appointment.
I have a life long friend that has a model amp like yours…
However, it has black tolex and blue/silver laced (Fender) grill cloth… He has an Altec Lansing 417H speaker (factory installed) in it…
I’m not sure it’s a “C” model.
but it has a 5-band Graphic EQ on the front panel (like yours)…
He’s had his amp sense back in the late '70’s-to-early-'80’s.
What a beautiful amp it is…
I’d say that amp set him back some 2200.00- 2400.00
back then…

Oh…I LIKE THAT…mmm…mmm…mmmmmmm…
Nice sound…That amp seems to be able to do it all. Backing track with the Strat has that nice clean chimey single coil sound I love to hear, and the lead on the Satriani cover is just rich. Great sounds and excellent playing.
I missed it…
