Guild Model Two Amp Info?

Hi

May be looking at a 70's era Guild Model Two amp for pretty short cash for sale in my local paper. Just wondering what info people have on these. I know its solid state, 50W, 2 10" speakers by "Rola" and has trem and reverb, no mention of whether it has an OD channel. Any input on the sound quality and typical price of these amps in decent vintage condition?

Thanks!

Hi,

A Model 2 would sell somewhere in the $100-$200 range. Sound is vintage early transistor amp. Suprisingly loud relativly light weight compared to a tube amp. The biggest negative of this amp is the old style 'bucket bregade" simulated reverb. These amps do not have a true reverb pan. If the did they would actually sound pretty good. They are not highly collectable but can be had for a low price. I have a Model 1 and occasionally turn it on. I always get suprised by the instant-on of the solid state amps.

I can't say I would recommend it but for a $100 I wouldn't make a fuss over trying one out.

Thanks for the insight. It'd be about $100, but is a bit of a drive away. Sounds like its no hidden gem, if still a playable amp, so maybe not the way to invest my precious vacation time this week!

Here's a spec sheet if it makes any difference.
