Guyatone Zip 100 (GA100) vintage solid state combo amp - Made in Korea - Fender like - 1970s

Criminally overlooked to the point that I bought mine for 15€, the Guyatone Zip 100 is a solid-state amp from the 1970s that absolutely deserves more recognition. Made in Korea, it sits right alongside my beloved Pearl SS-102 and delivers surprisingly authentic Fender-style clarity. No speaker swap needed here. For a vintage solid-state amp, the Zip 100 holds its own, proving once again that the best SS amps of that era can sound just as sweet as their tube counterparts, just with a hint of extra buzz for charm. Its voicing is unmistakably Fender-like, and that is a very good thing. This capture set focuses on cleans only, with three tonal positions: Dark, Normal, and Bright. EQ settings are as follows: Dark — Treble 2, Middle 3, Bass 7 Normal — Treble 5, Middle 5, Bass 5 Bright — Treble 8, Middle 5, Bass 3 Reverb is off for all captures to keep the response consistent and faithful. These captures were created using a Matribox II as the DI interface. They join my personal archive and are offered strictly for non commercial use.
