Everyone is always confused about these SOUND brand amplifiers - these were made in Italy and imported via NJ but they were not made by Ampeg, harmony, Lectrolab, Sano or anyother USA based company. They seem to be hit or miss because by the early 1970's tube amp companies were using alot of cheaper parts and even doing PC board layouts etc. These usually used EL84 output tubes - sounds like this one has been gone over by a tech which gives a much better chance of being in good shape.
FYI: Notice that he is jumping the channel inputs inthe photo to increase the gain just like on an old tweed Fender and many other two channel tube amps.

recently serviced by BOSTON'S BEST TUBE AMP TECHNICIAN Stan Day...has 4 inputs, 2 channels...bass, mid, treble, tremelo, reverb, polarity changer...all tubes and lights work perfectly...the amp sounds cool and vintage...the brand is SOUND which Stan believes was an early creation of AMPEG...
he replaced the speaker with a vintage FENDER speaker...all original except the new power cord (the old one did not have a ground on it)

- Alamo Montclair 2565 Tube Amp In Glendale Ca For $175
I am not a huge fan of the Alamo amps in general due to their notoriously spotty build quality, however these Montclairs are usually a pretty good deal especially if you find one that has been well cared for and maintained over the years. There are several...
- Ampeg 212 Reverbrocket 50w Tube Combo In Oklahoma City Ok For $400
These Ampeg Reverbrocket Reissues fly way under the radar. This one is from the 90's whcih means it was made at the old Ampeg plant in Arkansas before Loud Technologies (the parent company) shut it down and moved everything to Asia. I've plugged...
- Fender Champ 25 In La Los Feliz Area For $150
These are fairlyunknown nice loud little hybrid tube amps. The 12AX7 is basically the phase invertor and it uses a pair of 6L6GT power tubes and a 12 inch speaker so this is really closer to a Deluxe Reverb than a Champ. Voiced for power rock and Metal...
- Harmony H306a Guitar Amp In Chicago For $275
The H-306A is like a Fender Tweed Deluxe - 2 channel 15 watt amp with Tremolo. This one has a more heavy duty speaker so it probably breaks up a little later - but should still be nice. No pic but it looks just like the H304 and H303 just bigger. 59...
- Univox 1235 Tube Bass Or Guitar Head In Detroit For $200
Heck of alot of tube amp for $200. This Univox is designed for Bass butthen so is a 4x10 Fender Bassman. Would sound nice for BAss and I am sure if you swapped the 12AU7 tubes in the preamp for 12AX7 you'd crunch up the gain a whole lot for guitar....
