Hefty full featured beauty from respected maker and era. Has source direct, decent MM capable phono stage, two sets of big gold speaker binding posts, full gold rca compliment, two tape/effects loops. Has pre-out (for subs or more complex hookups)

Internally there are two power transformers to mitigate channel interaction under heavy loads similar to dual mono designs. Some say mosfets have a tube like character, electrically they have similar properties.
