I have the SS 140 c Prototype .A friend of mine worked at st Louis music and he built it back in 87 right before they went on the market. I still have it to this day .its a very reliable i never had any problems ever.I think it is a bummer that they didn't make very many of them and they are so underrated

I bought an SS-35 back in '88 and played it with a band... the lead guitarist was playing a JCM800 through a 4x12, so I couldn't really compete. I left it at my folk's place and my dad threw it out thinking it was junk (it had a rip on the front) a number of years later. It was a really solid and reliable amp.

These are good amps and you can get them for cheap! I bought a SS35 today at a pawn America for $97. Like brand new with the stock custom speaker and footswitch. When I got home and played, it was much better sound quality than I expected! Good deep warm distortion tones! As long as you don't max out the treble/presence or gain(s). I am getting a nice round tubey tone. And excellent cleans! Running a bit of phase and chorus between the clean/dirty channel. Its not high end like my JCM 2000 DSL100 but its a super cool amp for being solid state! Very chunky and open sounding with the alnico pickups in my les paul. Sounds just like Aerosmith Rocks albulm!

***** I often regret selling mine. I'd grab it up again if I found it for the right price.

No, I checked the history of when it was made, as well as matching the serial number. It's been a while, but I think the first year of production was '88 or '89. I can't remember what the last year was. Sold the amp a while back. Next Ampeg amp to go will be a Super Echo Twin ET2B.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought these were an early 2000s model, not mid 90s. I have the same exact model, thats why i'm interested...

Any one who comes across one of these little high gain monsters get it! I recently got mine a couple months ago and its the best amp i've ever owned. Don't be fooled by its size its hella loud even with a hard hitting drummer doing blast beats..

Hey, good to hear from you. I had a GIbson burgundy studio, which I loved the sound of, it was just too darn heavy. Ended up with the Schecter, which is lighter. The Ampeg is now listed on Ebay, and has a bidder, so you'll need to fight it out with him. I often have restored Fenders, right now it's just the Twin Reverb. I've got a Fender Supersonic I'm working on right now, we'll have to see how it comes out. You can reach me at mj@mjamps.com, or go to my website mjamps.com
