Circumstances forced me to sell my Ghia head and Avatar/Eminence Wizard cab a few months ago and I have regretted it every day since then. But today I'm re-joining the Ghia Brotherhood! I picked up a lightly used Ghia on eBay for $699 and will be using it with my 2x10 no-name cab with Reverend Alltone 1025 speakers. Seller is in MA and doesn't take PayPal so it will be 10-12 days before I have the amp but I know it will be worth the wait. Yeehaw!

The Ghia arrived and is really in great shape. Serial Number is M 7599 - did it belong to anyone here in a former life? It sounds good but I'm going to re-tube with some of my favorite NOS tubes (Mazda El84s, Brimar 12AX7 in V1) and a JAN 5Y3. Myles has kindly volunteered to identify the GT tubes that were in there.
It's amazing how great these amps sound with just a guitar and no fx to mess up the signal. I tried my Ibanez LP first and that sounded good but my Reverend Slingshot with Vintage Vibe P90s was just heaven - muscular but very articulate even when overdriven.
Great amp!!!
