Critic Reviews

1970s Music Man 210 Sixty-Five

craveguitars.co.uk

The 1970s Music Man 210 Sixty-Five is a vintage gem, praised for its hand-wired, all-valve power amp and versatile sound, from clean to overdriven tones. Its dual-channel design, with added tremolo and reverb, offers rich sonic options. The amp's robust build and original components make it a reliable workhorse, although its weight might be a downside. Overall, its blend of vintage charm and affordability, due to its lack of the Fender logo, makes it a sought-after bargain for those lucky enough to find one.

While I can recognize a music man, I'm not entirely certain about the model. Unfortunately I'm not exactly a Music Man expert. The amp can be seen at 8:30.

Linde stated that he might have used the amp for "some tracks on the album" and didn't know why it was at their rehearsal place in first place.
