VOX ROYAL GUARDSMAN
VISUALLY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SHOUTS "60'S" OR "BRITISH INVASION" OR BEATLES, DAVE CLARK FIVE, PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS, YARDBIRDS, ETC, MORE THAN A VOX AMP. HERE'S ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR UNITS OF THEM ALL!
ORIGINAL THOMAS ORGAN V1133 SUPER REVERB SOLID STATE ROYAL GUARDSMAN 120-WATT AMPLIFIER, WITH REVERB, TREMELO, MID-RANGE BOOST, 3-CHANNEL, ALL WORKING UNIT, WITH THE ORIGINAL FOOTSWITCH, ORIGINAL V4131 CABINET IN SWIVEL-STAND CHROME STAND. CABINET CONTAINS TWO ORIGINAL VOX 12" SPEAKERS AND MIDAX HORN.
THE HEAD HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO TAKE A 1/4" STANDARD JACK, AND WE ARE INCLUDING THE 1/4"-TO-CANNON SPEAKER CABLE. THUS YOU ARE READY TO GO WITH EITHER THE VOX CABINET (WHICH STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL VOX CANNON JACK) OR USE THE AMP WITH ANY STANDARD 1/4" CABINET. FOOTSWITCH FUNCTIONS AS DO ALL FEATURES, ALL CHANNELS IN WORKING ORDER. I PICKED UP THE HEAD LOGO FROM NORTH COAST MUSIC AND WILL INCLUDE THAT FOR NEW OWNER TO INSTALL.
ORIGINAL VERTICAL VOX EMBLEM PRESENT & UNBROKEN.
THE CHROME STAND IS VERY NICE. SWIVELS BOTH WORK SMOOTHLY, ALL WHEELS ARE PRESENT AND UNBROKEN, ALSO ROLLS NICELY. THERE IS SOME LIGHT GENERAL CORROSION ON THE AREAS AROUND THE SWIVELS. THIS CAN TO SOME EXTENT BE CLEANED UP AND POLISHED, BUT IT'S NOT DRAMATIC AND DOES NOT AFFECT ANY FUNCTION WHATSOEVER.
THE HEAD HAS ALL UNBROKEN CORNERS, FEET & ALL 6 UNBROKEN VENTS, NICE HANDLE, WITH 'SUPER REVERB' EMBLEM, ETC. GRILL ON THE HEAD IS ALSO GENERALLY NICE, WITH ONE 1" TEAR ON THE LEFT. THE 'SUPER REVERB' EMBLEM ON THE FRONT HAS A PIN BROKEN ON THE RIGHT END BUT STILL DISPLAYS AS IT SHOULD. THE VOX EMBLEM ON THE HEAD IS MISSING BUT A REPLACEMENT IS READILY AVAILABLE FROM NORTH COAST MUSIC. METAL CONTROL PANEL HAS TYPICAL BUT MINOR DENTS & DINGS, MISSING ONE KNOB ON THE REVERB BLEND CONTROL.
THIS HAS BEEN FULLY SERVICED OVER THE PAST 2 OR 3 YEARS AND HAS HAD THE MAJORITY OF CAPS & ETC REPLACED, THUS THIS OPERATES QUIETLY WITHOUT THAT VOX HUM. WE HAVE USED THIS ON STAGE FOR GUITAR WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE BASS CHANNEL HAS A LITTLE LESS OUTPUT THAN THE OTHER TWO, WHICH ARE HOT & LOUD, BUT SINCE THIS IS NOT A BASS AMP THAT MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT IN TO BEGIN WITH. REVERB IS DEEP AND WET, TREMELO IS TO DIE FOR. WHEN THE FOOTSWITCH IS NOT ENGAGED, ALL FUNCTIONS WORK WITH KNOB CONTROLS AS THEY SHOULD. PLUG IN THE FOOTSWITCH AND IT TAKES OVER. WE HAVEN'T HAD THIS OUT ON STAGE FOR OVER A YEAR, AND IT HAS BEEN STORED INDOORS IN A NON-SMOKING ENVIRONMENT.
THIS IS A 40+ YEAR-OLD VINTAGE AMPLIFIER AND HAS TO BE SOLD AS-IS. HOWEVER, IT IS IN GREAT OVERALL CONDITION AS DESCRIBED AND IS QUITE EASILY SERVICED BY ANY REPUTABLE SOLID-STATE AMPLIFIER REPAIR PERSON.
Shipping and packaging will be $195 in the lower 48. The reason for this is that it must be shipped in 3 boxes, and packed properly, and the amp and cabinet are quite heavy. I will provide receipts for packing and shipping if necessary!
