Early 60s Selmer Zodiac Truevoice 30 £1,800.00

A highly rare and sought after amp, this pristine Selmer is the best specimen we have ever seen of this amp. We believe that this particular Selmer is either from 1963 or 1964, although another amp we saw which was the closest looking we could find was claimed to be a 62!

These "croc-skin" Selmers are the most sought after in the Selmer Range and this one, as stated, is the best specimen we have ever seen.

The "blinking eye" is a unique touch and really is something to see, as it blinks in time with the onboard tremolo effect.

Completely point-to-point, hand wired; these amps sound amazing.

The amp is all original and even includes the original footswitch, but not the original cover.

Here's the description from the 1963 Selmer catalogue:

"New Zodiac Twin 30. Four inputs - Two channels. Built-in Tremelo with speed & depth controls and foot-operated switch. Selectortone push-button controls. Very low noise and hum level. Fitted with socket for extension speaker.
Here at last is a new amplifier with built-in tone colours. By simply operating the exclusive push-button controls you are able to vary the degrees of response from High Treble to Contra Bass, thereby obtaining an infinite variety of tone colours. The new Zodiac Twin 30 is a two-channel amplifier. Channel 1 acts as a conventional amplifier with normal controls for volume and tone. Channel 2 is controlled by the unique Selectortone push-button controls. This design enables you to use one channel for a microphone without cross channel interaction, leaving the other channel free for guitar and other musical instrument amplification. Each channel has two high impedance inputs - giving you a total of four inputs which can be used simultaneously. Built-in tremelo on Channel 2 is instantly switched on or off by the footswitch provided. Speed and depth of tremelo are adjustable over wide limits by variable control knobs. Exclusive Selmer "Blinking Eye" (Patent applied for) gives visual indication of tremelo speed. The Zodiac 30 is fitted with two 12" loudspeakers and all controls are housed in a recessed panel. A pilot lamp is fitted.
Attractively finished in two-tone crocodile leatherene with modern styling. AC mains only, 200/250 volts, 50/60 cycles. Valve complement EF86 (2), ECC83 (3), EL34 (2), GZ34 (1). Output ratings British 30 watts, American 60 watts. Dimensions height 20", width 29", depth 10". 85 gns, including attractive waterproof cover."

We highly reccomend you come and try this one out and please do not hesitate to call if you're interested in chatting about it or seeing some more pictures.
