Amp pf the Day 12-29-09 Polytone

[Mark Wein]

When I was in college all of the Jazzers had solid state Polytones. None of the sounded like this, though

Polytone 102, ca. 70’s, very cool stereo amp with a single 12” and dual 8” speakers, plenty of power, stacked pots for each channel, mono/stereo switch, reverb, some sort of “octave” switch that acts somewhat like vibrato (only cooler), light-up panel, one of the more unique amps I’ve had and I give it two thumbs up for tone and features, $450

a friend of mine has that amp. he plays bass through it. its a heavy beast, for sure. but such a great amp. amazing for pedals.

Is it tube or SS? I've only seen SS Polytones.....this one seems like it might be tube but I can't really tell.

definitely solid state.
