Gibson Goldtone Amps

[Easto]

Anyone have any experience or comments on this line of amps?

I have the previous model,... made by Trace Elliot in England,.... not made there any more,... but still a very nice amp,... similar in color to a Vox ac30,.... mine has Vintage 30s in it,.. I don't think they are putting those in the Goldtones, but I could be wrong.

GREAT amps,... Mine is called a 'Velocette' Twin,.... stereo, twin 10" speakers, class A, EL84 drivers,.... sounds totally awesome,.... but its all in how the player feels about their tone,... some would say it is too warm,... to 'VOX' sounding,... I just happen to love that sound,....

course, I just filled mine with Mullard tubes too, so,......

Oooh- Velocette. Little class A dealie? Those things were great. I don't know about the reissues but I have an old Gibson GA-20. It's awesome. Hopefully the new ones take some cues from these, as Gibson made some truly horrible-sounding tube amps back in the old days.
