TONE PRIEST SHORTS! - EPISODE 1: 1985? AMPEG V3SC

Today the Tone Priest fires up his newly acquired circa 1985 Ampeg V3 SC for the first time. It arrived in unknown working condition. After a quick wipe with the Simple Green and plunking in seven vacuum tubes, it appears to have some life left in it.

This amp is thought to be Ampeg's clone of a Marshall JCM 800. After a quick ditty, the Tone Priest agrees. The Japanese sure know how to build a guitar amplifier! For those about to rock, this amp salutes you.
