Vintage 1970s 1971 Sound City 120 L120 Lead Amplifier Head
Vintage 1970s 1971 Sound City 120 L120 Lead Amplifier Head
I bought this beauty alongside a wonderful 1971 Park 4×12, and this had powered it for many decades since buying new together in Birmingham. It’s a Sound City L120, dating to 1971 and is a great example and in very good condition. There are a few scuffs and scrapes throughout but nothing significant except the handle being broken over the years (a poor design in my opinion – such a small handle for such a big amp!).
The two original Partridge transformers work well alongside the mixture of 6x EL34 valves and the 5x original ECC83 pre-amp valves. The circuit board is in good original condition. It even has the original cover!! You’ll not be disappointed. Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description. This amplifier has been serviced to a playable & safe standard, by one of our leading amp techs. To find out more about what our service includes, please check out our terms and conditions before purchasing.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
