      Heavily based on the Fender 6G3 Brown Deluxe. Basically just had one set of controls for both channels.

      Crazy dirty, loud little bugger. I’m happy with the stock speaker. Nice round bottom end. P90s through this amp have a piano like quality.
      Beg, borrow or steal…….just get one.

        Reverb.com will have some listed. Anywhere from $400 to $700 depending on condition, the market, and the seller.

      I own this amp and it’s awesome. Lowering the value of the bypass capacitor reduces bass and makes the amp vastly more usable at higher volumes, i.e. it does not “fart out” as much.

      This is a very sweet amp I’ve had about every fender/vox/Marshall and the ampeg j20 jet is at the top of the list. I’m sure that this well kept secret won’t stay a secret for long. And it holds its own against any and all in stock form. I’ve left mine alone other than changing the speaker to a cannabis Rex. By eminence and it gave it a little more room up top , this amp is a sure keeper no matter what your collection is. I have not seen many of these for sale and I see and hear why the ll everytime I plug in to it. I would hate to have to replace it , the only amp that could take its place would be another ampegj20 jet and to all the ampeg j20 owners keep this jewel on the down low. And keep it locked up this amp will eventually be sought after no doubt
