Up for sale is my MGL Ampworks Lead 50 amp, a killer sounding MGL 50W amp head in purple tolex. Amp does not disappoint, selling to fund a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul that I have wanted for a long time. This is the standard circuit, not the High Gain circuit, it's more like a straight up JMP that's voiced just right, sounds killer at any volume, and takes a boost incredibly well. Has a bypassable effects loop and Classic/Modern switch on the rear. Will include power cord. Amp is in great condition, only areas to mention are slight peeling of the tolex from the attached pix, you can barely notice it in person, the pics tend to exaggerate but wanted to mention for full transparency. . Original asking price was $1950. Final reduction price (firm) is $1650 Paypal Friends and Family shipped/insured East of the Mississippi 48 US only, (add $50 more for West of the Mississippi…sorry, but shipping cost from East to West Coast is crazy expensive), add 3% if using regular Paypal. New price on these amps is over $2,000 not including tax, so don’t miss out on this deal, No trades.
More info-
The mini switch on the front panel near the inputs allos you to switch between 2 slightly different gain structures that are also a little different tonally. The down position is stock 2204 - JCM800 and is tight and focused with a slight bump in the mids. In the up position you get a little more gain, smoother, flatter frequency response, and with cleaner setting, more transparent.
The switch on the back labeled “Voicing” determines which tap of the ohms selector the negative feedback circuit goes to. Up position labeled “Modern” goes to the 8 ohm tap which is stock on a 50w Marshall amps. Down position labeled “Classic” goes to the 16 ohm tap and has a warmer, browner and more compressed tone and feel. Switch on the front to the left of the input jacks switches between 2 different resistor values for preamp tube bias which effects the gain & EQ structure. Down position is stock metal panel JMP or JCM800. There's a slight bump in the mids and is tight and focused. Up position is a Plexi value with a more even and sweeter EQ with a bit less mids and fuller bottom end.
Here is the actual amp as demoed by the original owner. He talks about the amp at around 3:40 into the video and demo's at 4:29-
