Members wrxplayer Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'm selling a really nice sounding Blues Pearl Tweed amp. Build date is 2/2002 but the amp is in pristine shape. Blues Pearl amps have been out of production for several years now. My understanding is that the tweeds in particular were very well received (and pretty expensive). Reviews of his amps at HC are consistently wonderful: http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar+Amp/brand/Blues+Pearl I'm told this model was called the "55". It runs on two 6V6 power tubes and puts out about 20 watts. It has four inputs (two bright, two normal), two volumes, treble, bass, and presence controls. Also on top are power, standby, and ground controls. Speakers are Jensen P10Rs (http://www.usspeaker.com/jensen%20p10R-1.htm) and sound really good. I just had Jimmy Somma of Sommatone fame give the amp a full checkup. Rectifier tube is brand new as is one preamp tube. Jimmy described the amp as 1/2 5e3, 1/4 vintage Bassman, 1/4 vintage Bandmaster. It gets the traditional tweed sound in spades and a great rock grind when cranked. It's light (I'm guessing 33 lbs) and the leather handle has lots of life. I'm selling as part of an effort to downsize. Had the Quidley up for sale but no takers so it's off the market and this is on. No trades, please. Post questions. PM or email me for quickest reply (jimicoltrane@gmail.com). $900 delivered/paypal'd. $25 discount for cash. $50 discount for local pickup in Central NJ. $25 discount for delivery in midtown Manhattan.
