I need the space so this has to go unfortunately.

Condition excellent externally. The knobs have been painted silver as the plating wore off as is usual.

The amp is in good working order, all jacks and pots were cleaned recently. There is some hiss present but that's normal for these amps. 

Collection in person from South Manchester please due to its weight.

    My first amplifier was one of those, replaced eventually by an H|HStudio 100.

    I used to have the head version of this, it was great. The guy I bought it from told me that it was designed for vocals and accordions?!?

    I'm pretty sure it was designed as a guitar amp?

    HH amps were used by just about everybody in the 70s - Marc Bolan, Wilko Johnson, Bill Nelson, Pink Floyd, etc., etc..

    Yeah I never believed the accordion bit, but you know when something gets stuck in your head? Well, that.

    I saw Dr Feelgood with Wilko. Bingo, green lights akimbo. My friend John Avon had one and we all though they were a bit shit. Then I saw the Feelgoods.

    I saw them in Liverpool in 1975. Brilliant.

    I saw the Dransfield brothers playing through them in a folk club. Guitar and electric mandolin. At the end of the set Barry kicked his over, and the spring reverb sounded like a bomb going off. Try that with a hot valve amp! 

    Despite the waves of nostalgia it’s no longer the amp for me. GLWTS

    I've played one of these before. They are excellent. This is an absolute steal

    My mates Dad leant me a head a lot like like this to play Bass through way back in my yoof. Played it with an enormous cab about the same size as me. I don’t remember what it sounded like at all but I remember it made me feel like a god compared to the tiny and tinny box I’d been used to.

    I would love this. I suppose there is no conceivable way of posting? I guess it would be a major hassle :(

    It's so tough I could probably just stick a label on but I wouldn't chance it sorry.

    Thanks, I went on Facebook the other day and it was horrific.

    Played through a couple of these. Loud as &*@#!   :o  tons of headroom, and still look cool all lit up. They have a sustain switch that's kind of like a more restrained  fuzz.   Built like the proverbial tank. Actually, one of these will take out an entire panzer division! :)

    Oh the memories. My fist big amp aged about 12 or 13. I loved it at first because it was big and had reverb but found the clean was too clean and clanky and the dirt was mushy and fake and got lost in the bands. Wilko did much better with his!

    H&H amps are the epitome of solid state thwack! to me, and that's probably what they do best. I think super clean has a lot going for it (my #1 amp at the moment is a JC40, if only because I don't have room for a JC120). There were lots of these around when I was a kid in the early 80s, and lots of Shergold Masqueraders - my teenage experience would be a Shergold into an H&H, dreaming it was a Les Paul into a Marshall, and I think I've tended to underrate both for that reason.

    Another bump

    Had one as my first amp, too. I even bought that flanger add-on that plugged in via the DIN socket. The 'valve sound' overdrive was too subtle for the late '70s, but with a Boss OD-1 it could really sing.

    That sounds more like the IC100S (S standing for “Suzztain” IIRC) which came before the VS series. And yeah, they were great in their own way too...


    Don't ask me, I just play the damned thing...

     I actually sold a 1968 AC30 to get one of these back in the day! Every band I was listening to used them, especially Stuart Adamson (Skids) & Bill Nelson. GLWTS
