Musicman HD-130
$399.00
Musicman throughout the years have put out quality products and this amp is no different. These HD-130 were produced in the 70's and taken out of production after Ernie Ball acquired Musicman in the mid 80's.
First let me say this is a very cool amp head with lots of headroom and clean tone. It has two channels, one with volume, treble & Bass, the second with volume, treble, middle, bass, reverb, intensity, speed, master and (two switches - Bright/normal & Deep/normal), both with two inputs per channel. The amp is powered by four EL-34's which you can split the power from 130watts to 65 watts using the hi/low power switch on the front. The preamp section is Solid state, which even though I read about that in some forums I still had to take the back off to verify it. I just couldnt believe it sounds as good as it does with only tubes in the power section.
The back panel of the amp has two plugs for the Reverb & Tremolo switches, two speaker inputs, a speaker impedance switch to go between 4 or 8 ohms, ground switch, and of course the power switch. 
Weather you play country, jazz, blues, pedal steel or rock(if you are playing rock throw your favorite pedal in-line and let it crank) this amp will perform wonderfully. So if you are looking for a high power kicking guitar head this will fill the bill at a bargain price.
