Members vintage clubber Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 Got the Ampeg Super Jet today. Gotta love the stuff that St Louis Music was putting out back in the 90's. It turns out that this must have been one of the early models as it has EL34's in it! It's smaller than I expected. It's bigger than my VC 2110 and smaller than my VC 3112.

Members PunkKitty Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 Many years ago I had the opportunity to pick one of these up from a resale shop for $50. I'm still kicking myself for not doing it. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 Looks pretty fancy. Anything more than about 4 knobs on an Ampeg and I don't know what to do with them all... but I don't think I've ever met an Ampeg I didn't at least like.

I'm still kicking myself for not doing it. Congrats! $50??? I thought this was a bargain at $299! They only ended up charging $9 for shipping because the GC store they got it from did not get it out when it was promised. These sold for $599 new.

Members PunkKitty Posted April 7, 2011 Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 I didn't realize it at the time. I took about a 20 year hiatus from playing guitar and just got back into it within the last 5 years. Such is life. Someone got a great deal. I hope they love the amp.

Members vintage clubber Posted April 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2011 How do you like it? 3 paws and a tail up from Lamb Chop. So Far I like it very much. I haven't had too much time to play more than one guitar through it so far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
