TOMS exclusive Ibanez TS15 head and 1x12 cab...

Tokai-SA

What an amazing little amp, spend a few hours with one at TOMS Sandton the other day...under R5,000
They sold out all the ones they had in one day, they're getting a few more in this week.

They have a 5 or 15 watts switch, one clean channel, and the TS9 channel that has a built in Tubescreamer and a boost switch, both switchable on a footswitch...and an FX loop.
We cranked the clean 15watt channel, full power and no breakup at all, pretty amazing.

Good looking little amp as well, white...took a pic while I was there.

R5k for the head and cab? What a deal..

Yup, head and cab, and the cab has a 12" Celestion in it.
Notice how wide/deep the cab is, the bass response is really good.

It's under 5K...can't remember the exact price.

Joel can chime in about the tone, he watched Josh Oosthuizen from Deep Blue C gig one today at Tanz.

Wow, it's a Seventy80. Pair of 6v6s AND a tubescreamer. Pity I am going down another route. Gonna be a monster beginner's amp and any folk on a budget actually.

Wow... This seems like something i should look at...

Especially after finding out the price of the Fender Blues Junior ?

Cant find anything on this on the internet but wow that seems AMAZING!!! Like I wish I could trade my class 5 for one of these...(extra headroom would be awesome :>)

Yeah! If you free tomorrow morning, I'll probably be at Coastal's when they open, 8:30ish. Come jam on that amp, introduce yourself, I'll either be the guy noodling on the amp or lugging the amp outta there! ?

Dinosaur-Snr

Do you guys know who will be stocking them down in cape town??

guitarboy2828

Toms? Is there no Tom's in CT? Otherwise, I'm sure anyone who stocks Ibanez can source them, however, from what the guy at Coastals told me, there were only a few that were bought into the country.

Ahh, sorry man, I would've except i knew I wouldn't have time this morning. ☹ Sorry. I did go get my amp though. WOW WOW WOW! Love this thing, really really sweet! Will post a video/review of it in a week or so ?

I tried out the marshal class 5 (Coastals has one).. It's a SWEET amp. What I perfered about the ibanez is the versatility. I don't like the fact that the marshal has to be cranked to get that tube overdrive because its flippin' loud when it's cranked to break those tubes. I will be honest, at 1 o'clock, that drive was sounding SWEET!!!! haha..
