Save £1,000! Amp was £2,599, the cover £75, a NOS Jan Philips 6V6 £65 and a NOS Jan Philips 5Y3 £50 (total value £2,789).

I am in the market for a Bartel amp, a Novo Solus H2 or a small acoustic size O or OO.

Amp was from Coda, I had the cover made by Coveramp in Canada and the valves were from Watford Valves.

Stunning compact and lightweight, this handwired boutique amp is perfect for home, studio, small venues (or miked for larger ones).

Wonderful 3D clean tones with a beautiful valve tremolo and reverb (foot switch included, you'll need your own cable). Two sets of knobs.

Guitar NOT included, simply to show scale.

Amp bought new from Coda three months ago and in pristine condition (not to be confused with a cheaper version with a creamback speaker).

I have the original shipping box though collection is recommended.

I've a Bartel Sugarland i may be interested in trading..

What's the volume like at home,  can you get it down low and keep good tone or does it need a Night light attenuator?

@mburekenge it's a Castedosa Marianna that has a pair of mini humbuckers. The wood used for the guitar top is Ziricote.

Thanks @chris78 I am but an enthusiastic amateur who loves photographing gear.

In all honesty, credit must go to my Nikon D850/Tamron SP90 team. They do it all for me, focus and click is all I do.
