Really great shape overall and everything functions as intended.

Unfortunately this does not include the power cable OR the connector cables.

All items in The Official Junkie XL Reverb Shop ship fully insured with delivery confirmation. COA's were limited to the first 500 orders so unfortunately we do not have anymore.
