VINTAGE Ampeg "Lee Jackson " VL502 50w All Tube Head
The Ampeg VL502 is a 50-watt, two-channel all-tube guitar head from the Lee Jackson-designed VL Series, built for players who want aggressive gain, flexible tone shaping, and old-school tube response. Its design reflects the hot-rodded high-gain amp approach of the early 1990s, with enough control to move from cleaner sounds into saturated rock and metal tones.
Key Features
- 50-watt all-tube design uses a pair of power tubes with a multi-tube preamp section for genuine tube response and overdrive.
- Two-channel layout provides separate gain structures for moving between cleaner and higher-gain sounds.
- Five-position mid-frequency selector on the lead channel gives unusually detailed control over the character and focus of the midrange.
- Built-in power attenuation allows the power section to be driven harder while reducing overall output level.
- Effects loop and selectable speaker impedance provide useful flexibility for integrating pedals, rack gear, and different speaker cabinets.
Condition
C condition. Shows normal wear consistent with its age, including wear to the Tolex covering and light rust oxidation on the metal corners. The amp appears to retain its original tubes, although we cannot verify their originality with certainty.
A cool piece of early-'90s Ampeg history for players who like powerful tube gain, unusual tone-shaping options, and the distinctive Lee Jackson-designed VL Series.
Cool gear at a great price, backed by our meticulous care.
