SOLD!! Soldano 'Astro' 20 watt 3-channel amplifier Amazing sounding amplifier. Near-mint condition, not a scratch, ding or mark on it. Works perfectly, sounds huge. Kept in non-smoking home. All original condition. Comes with its original 4-button lighted foot-switch and power cable. It has 3 channels with 4 Galaxies. Channel 1 is the dedicated clean channel with only the ‘Green Galaxy’. It’s a nice big Fendery clean. Channels 2 and 3 are similar, but you can select 3 different ‘Galaxies’ – Blue, Purple, Red, for each of these two channels. Each Galaxy has more gain. By setting each gain/master differently on Channels 2 & 3, you can change the Galaxies to have 6 different tones. 4 by foot-switch and up to 128 presets by MIDI. Green Galaxy is a nice fat clean. Blue is low/medium gain. Great for slight broken-up tone to crunch. Purple is medium to super crunchy. Red Galaxy is the famous Soldano SLO tone great for lead work. Again, you can select any color Galaxy for each of channels 2 & 3. Mix and match. I know that might sound confusing, but really it’s not at all. Check out the video below and see really how cool this is. There are also bright and depth switches to let you really dial-in your tone even more for single coils or humbuckers. There is an EFX Loop too. Very flexible, can run 4/8/16 ohm cabs. Now, the fun part. With the XLR output, you have 6 different cabinet IRs (You can also load your own) The XLR output can also be 'bypassed' to use with your own DAW or IR box. Great for live FOH or recording. You can even even save your choice of IR with each channel preset. And, it has a built in load-box, so you can record silently without even a cab hooked up. Headphone output too. Check out the video link below to see just how great this amp is, stunning. PRICE DROP!!! $1,300 shipped and Paypal F&F. Not interested in any trades - thx, ernie Message for more info. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The simple front panel design of the ASTRO-20 lets you save any combination of the channels, Galaxies, and IRs and quickly recall them with the included 4-button MIDI footswitch. The free downloadable Soldano Editor Software makes organizing presets and integrating your own IRs fast and easy. FEATURES 20W lightweight all-tube guitar amplifier 3 Independent Channels Overdrive Galaxies BLUE Galaxy ranges from bluesy cleans to fat and sparkly hard rock tones PURPLE Galaxy ranges from hard rock to punchy high gain drive with a tighter response RED Galaxy with the famous sought after SOLDANO lead overdrive tone Low Latency IR Cabinet simulation (bypassable) 6 IR presets, individually programmable per channel – these are the planets around the star. Included 4 button programmable MIDI foot switch pedal GALAXIES The Blue Galaxy ranges from bluesy cleans to fat and sparkly hard rock tones. The Purple Galaxy takes over where Blue leaves off, delivering higher gain and a tighter response. The Red Galaxy takes you on a journey starting from Soldano’s iconic lead tones to a new phenomenal high-gain universe. The Blue, Purple and Red Galaxies can ONBOARD IR CAB SIM Impulse response cabinet simulation is an essential tool for modern guitarists. The ASTRO-20 offers six onboard IR slots to choose from. Each expertly recorded IR can be assigned to each channel/galaxy independently, ensuring you get the perfect tone and speaker response, whether running direct onstage, recording, or utilizing the amp’s headphone output for silent at-home practice. Add and manage your own IRs using the Soldano Editor Software. TONESHAPING The wide range master Presence control takes you from a tight and mid-focused response to an open, three-dimensional feel. The 3-positon Depth switch fine-tunes the power amp’s bass response. You can boost or cut the bass using this switch. Depth cut is ideal for extended range, low-tuned guitars, allowing you to cut through the mix. Depth boost beefs up single-coil guitars and at lower volumes enriches the bass response.

PRICE DROP! 2010 Gibson Custom Shop ES-339 Semi-hollow Guitar This is a Custom Shop built guitar, not the standard factory line model. Great feeling and playing axe. The custom shop built guitars are overall, just a better class of quality. Better woods and better attention to detail. The 339 has a slightly smaller body size vs. a 335, but keeps that same ES vibe. 100% original. Nothing modded or changed. Low action and no neck issues. A tiny bit of fretwear from normal playing, but nothing too bad. Rings nicely un-plugged. Red nitro lacquer finish and nickel hardware. I’d call it Excellent-minus condition. Some light marks on the back from playing. Pick marks on the pickguard and some marks on the back in the nitro finish from sitting on a guitar stand. I tried to show it in the worst possible glare light to see the marks. I don't like surprises – see pics. Front is perfect. Other than the back, it’s a super clean guitar for 15 years old. Kept in non-smoking home. Weight: 7lbs 4oz. Comes with original Custom Shop certificate and Custom Shop hardshell case (Case is Excellent also, with no damage) Features: - 100% original - Gibson ’57 pickups - Bound rosewood board - 11/16” nut - 30/60 neck shape - Nickel hardware - Kluson tuners - Hardshell case - Gibson Custom shop Certificate Price Drop... $2,100. Shipped/PP F&F and NO TAX. Not interested in any trades on this one Message with any questions - thx, ernie

Fargen Mini-Plex Mk I The Mini-plex is one of the best, lower wattage Plexi style amps ever. 3-way voicing switch for 60/70/80 tones. ½ power switch. If you do some research, many consider, tone-wise, the Mk I version to be the best of the 3 Fargen Mini-plex versions (MkI, MkII & MkIII) Maybe because of its simple, no frills, all tone design. After reading a ton about tube choices and what works best in this amp, I followed the recommendations exactly and found and installed the exact mentioned tubes. All new or NOS. The amp is cathode-bias, so you don’t have to re-bias it when changing tubes. It can run on just about any big bottle tubes you want. Mix and match 6L6, EL34, KT66 etc. Currently Installed: - Sylvania 12AX7 - Ruby 12AX7-HG - Valve Arts KT66 - JJ 6L6 The amp is very clean and in great condition. Works perfectly, no issues. Kept in non-smoking home. Head only, no speaker cab included. $1,250. Shipped/PP F&F Not interested in any trades on this one. Message me with any questions- thx --------------------------------------------------- The Gear Page forum discussion on tubes:

Pedal-Palooza 2026! Just downsizing. All of these are great pedals. All are mint or near-mint with no velcro (or otherwise noted) Almost all come with original boxes and what came in the box. I am the original owner of all except the Korg tuner. I have detailed pics of all of them if you want to see more pics, just let me know. First message get them and I will mark sold asap. Prices include Shipping and PP F&F please and NO TAX. Not looking for any trades on these. Message with any questions – thx, ernie DLS Effects – VersaVibe II - $160 I’ve tried a bunch of Univibe clones and this is the one I kept. Just sounds ‘right’. Lots of tone sculpting knobs. Has an expression pedal input of you want to use a pedal to control it. A little expensive, but worth every penny. Kinda’ hard to get these. Box included. Korg - PitchBlack Advanced Tuner - $40. Simple, small footprint tuner. Adjustable with different tuner displays. I got used. I'd call this VG+ condition. No box.

Researching all things Plexi: suggestions wanted
santellavision replied to Travis's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
This is my current favorite Plexi style amp. Fargen Mini-Plex MkI. Very simple, huge tone. Has a 3-position 'Decade' selector switch for 60/70/80s. Cathode Bias so, it can run all kinds of different tubes without biasing. I am currently running a mixed set of tubes. A Sylvania greyplate 12AX7 (Ken Fisher's fav) feeding into a JJ 6L6 on one side and a Ruby 12AX7-HG feeding into a Valve Arts KT66 on the other. The 6L6 side is big & round and the KT66 side is all grind and chime. Absolutely killer sounding little amp. Many think the MkI version sounds the best and I agree (There are 3 versions) Sometimes don't mess with greatness!
