I've had one of these for 25 years. Bought mine new. It's not a bad amp, the tank reverb is really nice. Be advised that there is no standby switch on it. The power switch in back is a center off type. On mine both sides turn the amp on. Mine came with a phaser, but I don't use it a lot. I don't care for the tone that it makes. Mine is somewhat noisy around flourescent lighting too. One thing that you are going to either love or hate is the automix feature. The automix combines each of the other two channels; You have to be carefull about the preamp levels because they tend to overdrive really easy. This isn't normally a bad thing, but the 'bright" channel on mine doesn't seem very clean.
