Up for sale, a 2000s Gibson Goldtone GA-15RV Class A tube amp in near-mint condition and in perfect working order. A short-lived model, this amp is a product of Gibson's acquisition of Trace Elliot, and is a rebranded version of Trace's revered Velocette model. Made in the UK, this amp is a single channel affair driven by a pair of EL84 power tubes, with two 12AX7s in the preamp. The compact GA-15RV features the simplest of controls: Volume, Tone, and Reverb knobs and a Bright Switch. A single input jack is high impedance and allows for perfect matching to both passive and active guitar pickups. With Class A cathode bias, the tone is rich in harmonics and very touch-sensitive to picking dynamics.

Further features include an external speaker output which allows one to connect to an external 16 Ohm speaker cabinet for a bigger sound than the amp's 12" speaker can provide. When a plug is inserted into this jack, the 12" internal speaker is disconnected. The amp is loaded with the original Celestion Vintage 30 speaker.

The enclosure is very clean, with the raised Gibson badge fully present, flush seams on the edges of the black wrap, and just a few small marks. The handle is the only component that exhibits wear (still functional).
