2024 Tone King Gremlin 5w 1x12" Tube Amp Combo
I bought this new last year to use for demos in the store. I absolutely adore this amp -- it can play with a small unit on stage at full-tilt volume (preferably with a mic stuck in front feeding the PA) but the built-in attenuator lets you drop it to room/quiet recording levels easy-peasy without tone loss. It has a line-out that can be shunted into cab sims, too.
It's also got two channels ("lead" and "rhythm") which give you a tweed voicing and a blackface voicing and a very simple tone/volume control on top. Even though this seems stupidly-simple, you can get a ton of different sound out of this guy. I'm including a JHS A/B box and power supply (though you can use the switch without power) for it so you can stomp to get to either channel while you're playing (why this doesn't just have a footswitch to do the job, I'll never know).
Since I bought this, the number of amps in-store has grown tremendously and I no longer need a dedicated demo amp hanging-out in the shop as there's a whole rainbow of amps to choose from over here and I have gone to boring preamp+cabsim for the electric demos of late so I can record them in the wee hours.
It's basically as-new and, while I can't find any wear on it, I suppose it's possible that there's a little wear here and there that I am not seeing. It has its original power tubes and V2, though I did upgrade V1 to a quality 5751 as I recall to give a tiny bit more room in the preamp before breakup. As noted, it will come with the A/B box -- I had it setup so, when in use, the red LED ("hot") was indicative of the tweedy/lead channel and the blue LED ("not") was for the blackface/rhythm channel.

Shipping: I'll ship this, no problem -- but I don't have the original box for it anymore.
