I think Guyatone has quit building amps, they still build "Stomp boxes". They built a darn good amp. I still have one that was a great amp. I just rediscovered it, in one of my old warehouses. The power tubes have been removed, and I have no way of knowing what kind of tubes they were. I think that I remember that they were not 6L6s. Any Idea what they could be? The model is GA1200.
Or who would be a good "Tech" somewhere near Wilburton Ok?

I did a seach on Harmony Central, they only had the GA-1000:

The Guyatone GA-1000 is basically a Fender-like amp, with 4 EL34 power tubes and 5 12AX-7 preamp tubes. It has a solid state-rectifier. It has two independant channels with two inputs each. Each channel has gain, bass, middle and treble controls. The first channel also features a little switch to chose between instrument or vocal. It has a spring reverb which can be assigned to one or both of the channels. It has a tremolo effect, which can also be assigned to one or both of the channels. Last but not least, it has a headphone jack next to the speaker jack. Both effects can be switched on/off with a footswitch.

You might try to contact Guyatone, they have a website:

Thanks Ken, you're a genius. You refreshed my memory about the EL34s. I remember this was an extremely good amp, I just sort of stopped using it as at that time I had 2 "Black faced Twins, with JBLs" I regretably sold them to a young lawyer in Houston last year. Evidently Guyatone no longer builds amps, just Stomp boxes
