Welcome to  

This page is about the IMPACT 60W amplifier head.

In August 2000, I got one of these amps from a friend who had found it on a garbage dump. The front plate is missing, else it's in quite good shape for the age. The chassis is in excellent condition! It has very good looking transformers, and the output transformer has the same size as the power transformer. It has a quite advanced way to change the output impedance, a way to keep the whole secondary winding connected at all times. (See the schematic!)
There are two versions of this amp, one with several "bright caps" in the pre-amps, but apart from that the same.
There's also a a model with Reverb and Tremolo. One can be seen on the Finnish web site below.
