Mark Anthony Vacuum Tube ?

[SuperTrooper 10+ year member]

Anyone know much about these amps? I seen one for sale in a pawn shop today for $250.00. It didn't have any specs on it, didn't say how many watts or anything. It appeared to be a 2 channel w/ 2 - 30 amp fuses. I did a search but came up with nothing on the vacuum tube amps. I here Mark Anthony amps are worthy, but just don't know too much about the vacuum tube. Is the amp worth $250?, it's in great condition. Thanks...

No didn't get a model number and sorry for this mispelling, like I said I don't now much about them.

Thats the black one with intertwined chilipeppers that faintly resemble the Van Halen logo, right?

If so, its a PPI built clone of the Butler TubeDriver.

2x150 watts I believe.

Nice amp, well worth $250 in good condition.

I really don't recall any Van Halen looking logos. I do remember a little piece on the top was glass / plexi glass so you could see part of the tubes.

Seem to be a lighter color and the see through glass was a little smaller and you could only see 2 of the tubes.

Oh, and had Mark Antony written in big letters across the amp.

I couldnt find a Mark Antony 275 (2x75w) to show you, but this would be similar.

If you want that lush tube sound for your components $250 will probably be the cheapest price you'll find for a long time.

Go for it!
