Vintage c1968 Sunn 100S amp head.

This amp head is in very good condition, fully functional, cosmetically showing extensive tolex wear, nicks marks, even cigarette burns. The front grille cloth has a bit of wear and tear, the back panel is missing. We just serviced this amp, including new filter caps and output tubes. The transformers are massive and, some time ago, have been reinforced with additional angle brackets. This is a real relic and loving every minute of it! Take it on tour.

Dating Sunn amps can be near impossible however we know the 100S was produced from 1965 to 1969 and that the final variation has mid boost. The pot codes are dated early 1967 and the output transformer code is November 1968. So, this could be late 1968 or early 1969.

Sunn amps have a unique vibe and are sought after by many. They are well made well and sound great. Lots of headroom with a scooped midrange. The contour control can really deepen the scoop or flatten it out quite a lot.

These 100Ss were favored by many groups including Mountain, The Who, The Blues Magoos and even Jimi Hendrix. The Who used Sunn amps to record the song, “I Can See For Miles”.

Don’t let this one get away!

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.

This is a specific item that is also being offered for sale in our brick & mortar location. It is possible that it has just been sold. Please ask if it is still available before purchasing.

*It is our policy to require a signature on delivery of all musical instruments. Please let us know if you prefer no signature required when ordering or we will automatically require a signature.

If you prefer your item to be sent without a required signature Imperial Guitar and the selected carrier can no longer be responsible for the security of the package once it has been delivered.
