Description
The shortlived, but very well respected 3 Monkey Amp Company,
Started by 3 (monkeys) Brad Whitford (of Aerosmith fame) Ossie Ahsem (who made the fabled Blackhead amps) and Greg Howard (Guitar Tech to the stars.
They made a small range of incredible sounding amps, built quality, sound and aesthectics were of tap.
Now days, 3 Monkeys make solderless pedalboard cables..and while the amps have taken a back seat, those lucky enough to own one rarely part with them
The Grease Monkey is a 30 watt, all tube monster, sounding something like a plexi Marshall meets an AC30...definitely a British sound. This one is the somewhat rarer, non master volume MK1, which in my opinion sounds better.
This amp was the previous owners pride and joy, he said "it was the most reliable amp I've ever owned, never once let me down, and trust me I played a lot of shows on it' Running 3 x 12ax7s and 4 EL84's it sounds amazing, like the best amp you've ever hear.
Here's the really cool bit...this amps serial # is AUS02, the second amp to be exported to Australia..These amps are hard to find anywhere in the world, let alone in your own back yard.
Quality build, this thing will last you a long long time, and at 30 watts...it's perfect for most gigs.
Made in the USA,
