Wizard MC100 - £2,200Rare to see these come up for sale and then there are two up here at the same time!
This is an earlier Modern Classic from the late 90's. It's hard to find much information on these but the main differences between this one and later ones are the lead boost, lead bright and contour controls. Although this one does seem to have the lead boost, even though it's not marked on the volume control. It also has a push/pull on the bass control, which is subtle but it does tighten the bass up when pulled out.
This one also has the effects loop but again being an earlier model, the loop is a bit noisy and there is also a pop when changing channels. Even with the bit of noise, the effects loop is great because it works really well as an extra volume control.
Given it's age the tolex is showing quite a few marks, tears etc. I've asked around previous owners but no one seems to know how the tolex ripped along the bottom edge. The shell might have been damaged at some point but it is all solid.
Ultimately this just gives you the 'core' Wizard Modern Classic sound. Loads of clarity and the Wizard's punch like nothing else I've played before.
My amp tech (the awesome Henk Philipsen) had a look over it recently and replaced the power tubes that weren't in great shape. E34L’s. The pre amp tubes are all JJ 12ax7.
I'd bought this after playing a Wizard MTL clone and I think I slightly prefer the MTL sound over the Modern Classic. So just offering it up in case anyone is interested or has anything they fancy trading for it.
Trade wise, always intrigued by high gain amps, in particular I do have a Friedman itch to scratch and I'd really like to get an Uberschall again.




Bogner Snorkler - SOLDI bought this new earlier in the year when Guitar Guitar got them back in stock. It's still mint condition, boxed with the footswitch.
Such a fun amp to play. Loads of gain and sounds good at low volumes.
The blue channel maybe isn't talked about as much but crank the gain all the way and it's a massive, open crunch sound.
Red channel is that more saturated, slightly scooped heavy gain tone.
Looking for £2,900 including delivery.
Marshall JTM45 re-issue - SOLDOne of the re-issues from the early 90's.
Cosmetically it's in reasonable condition, no major tears or rips in the tolex.
The filter caps have been replaced with nice F&T ones. The valves might still be the original ones.
Looking for £650 including delivery or collection from Redhill. Happy for this to be a part ex against a 22 fret PRS or similar guitar.

I don't know if @spirit7 knows more of the history on that?
It has recently been to my amp tech and the only issue he found were the valves that have now been replaced.
