GP IC130 Mk II vintage amp as seen |
Description |
Interesting old Gerry Pope amp dating from the 70s - probably early 70s - believed to have replaced the original tube amp for the ultra-rare Hammond PR-150 speaker system used by Billy Graham on his visit/s to the UK / Europe in the 1960s.
GP Electronics were one of very few manufacturers ever to have been based in Devon (the home of VEMIA).
This example has had its knobs removed and the case, metal corners and handle are a bit sad looking, but it otherwise looks decent. The front panel is very good. The amp doesn't seem to switch on. It needs to have a standard Bulgin lead (not included). It appears to have four inputs, two with a sustain circuit and two with a phaser.
Gerry Pope apparently designed one of the earliest fuzz boxes in the 60s. ***This amp looks like it could be one of the first worldwide to include a phaser - after a bit of research we didn't find an earlier one. The American CMI Electronics SG-212 dates from 1976.*** See the internal pics for some clues about age and construction. Packing 10GBP.
