Ive had a couple of jansen heads before and theyv'e never stuck. Kinda gave up on the idea of Jansen as a usable amp. Then i tried bruces and Jeans (clone).
Since then ive kept an eye out for a nice low watt combo.
This is a 2x el84 driven 1x12 combo.
It has non functioning tremolo and reverb that sounds like your spitting at an electric fence.
But.. the amp sounds great! Its hella loud. I wasnt expecting that. And...it seem 100% original inside...electroyltics/filter caps and all..
Since my Princeton arrived and became my go-to amp, I have fretted about the Jansen. There was a weak moment recently when I thought to offer it to you but now you have this, you'll be sorted.

That's a relief!

Bit of cleaning. Isoprpyl alcohol and a tooth brush inside, contact cleaner for pots and sockets and a bit of dilute detergent for the face plate and knobs.
God she was filthy inside.
Bit nicer now
