Maybe you like low wattage amps that breakup nicely at low volumes like everyone does… But if you’re like me, you also enjoy the rush of an outdoor stage performance, with too many speaker cabinets and an un-godly loud amplifier that blows your bellbottoms so they swish in the wind of it. This SUNN 1000S will check those boxes for you. This is the guitar version of the 2000S, which Noel Redding helped make famous to keep up with Jimi’s volume level back in the day.
First found in the 1969 SUNN catalog, this behemoth was mated with a 2 X 15″ JBL bottom cabinet… which is a good start. But you’re gonna need more speakers! Because this amp wasn’t designed to be heard in the back of the room, it was built to be heard at the back of the festival.
120 watts RMS with a quad of 6550 power tubes. Spring reverb and footswitchable tremolo to boot. 16 ohm output plus an 8 ohm extension speaker output. Freshly serviced at Velvetone Electronics. Just a straight up, amazing sounding, loud as all hell, clean, vintage tube amplifier made in Portland, Oregon. $1200 – head only.
