Hi All,
I was able to acquire these amps recently for what I thought were very reasonable prices. My intuition was that if I liked my Guild guitars as much as I do, and Guild’s reputation for quality being what it is, the amps could be great. I am not disappointed. My first impressions are that I like them both very much, noting that I like cleaner sounding amps. I like the 66-J very much, it's very clean, but am disappointed that the tremolo is not working on either. Both seem like they could use a trip to a tech, so I will have them serviced soon. The 66-J has a nice big sound and clean tone but does get a bit of a very nice growl when pushed. It has the original 2 prong cord, and what I assume are the original tubes, plus foot switch, so I assume it is all original. The dealer had the cover but unfortunately could not find it.
The 100 also sounds great and I hear the difference in the 12 inch Jensen and 15 inch Utah. To my ears the 100 is in a way more full but a bit darker and less clear. I like the 66-J better at this point in time, but can check back once I have had them both serviced and hopefully will have the tremolo working. I would enjoy hearing others input in the meantime. Cheers!
