I bought a Silverface Vibro Champ when I was last in the States and had it
shipped back to the UK. I now use it with a stand alone 110V/240V isolating
transformer and surprisingly, considering it's rather knackered appearance
it is also standing up to regular use.

It has a lovely tone which really cuts through at reasonable volume levels.
This means that I don't have to mic it up as much as I originally envisaged.


On the subject of Amps, has anyone ever heard of 'Kelly' Amps. I bought one
at a boot sale a few years back. It's a tube combo 2x12 (probably 50 Watts),
has 4 channels (2 bass and 2 normal). Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
