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! -

Cool Guitar Alert - Heritage Ascent+ H-137

Just a little update. After the honeymoon period, I still love this axe. Plays so nice and I seem to grab it when I want to just have some fun. I did swap out the pickups with some Tone Hatch Handwound Hawgmawlin' P90s (GREAT pickups by-the-way for $100/set) and some better pots/wiring. I also ordered a better wrap-tail for it. I'll put that on next, when I get it. P.S. The 10% off deal is back at Manny's https://mannys.com/
