Vintage 1970s Matamp Orange GT100 100w Valve Amplifier Head
Vintage 1970s Matamp Orange GT100 100w Valve Amplifier Head
This is one of the early 1970s GT100s, before they later changed to the GT120, and is in very good original condition. The serial number, 350, dates it to very early 1970s, with my guess being circa 1973. In a previous service by the legendary Champ Electronics, there was a standby switch added to the front plate, which is actually really handy, a recap job, and 2x EL34s changed (JJs) and 2x ECC83s changed (JJs too). I also believe the back panel is a replacement. There have been a few small changes on the circuit board, but nothing significant. Cosmetically, this has quite a few scuffs and scrapes throughout.

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.
