picked this up last night. it's spin on the gibson GA-30RVT invader of the crestline variety. same as the invader except no mid freq. controls on either channel.

i'll post gut shots later, link below to pics.

looks like it has an accutronics reverb tank. tank input measures 168R and tank output measures 175R. seems odd as this has a transformer drive. input and output jack shields are tied to tank, e.g. they are not isolated.

1 cap is not well and it looks like the tremelo opto-coupler has been worked on. otherwise appears to be all original.

love the semtech dual diode common cathode hybrid. the 20/20/10 can with flying leads is bummer. going to have to build a brick.
