Hey all,
Looking to see if anyone has any information about some of the Guild solid state amps being rebranded Marlboro amps? I picked up a Model One about a year ago and opened it up today, the bottom of the circuit board is labeled "Marlboro USA". Looked around a little bit and the Guild Model One looks exactly like this Marlboro branded amp: https://reverb.com/item/732076-marlboro-g40-r-guitar-amplifier-70-s-black-12-speaker. The "Reverb Tremolo Footswitch" sticker on the back of the chassis is the same on both amps.
I got this amp for cheap and it looks like it will be a pain to recap. It's working fine for the most part and is kinda fun, sounds cool if I dime it and use it as an amp for my Rhodes. I'm just curious about the history, I saw the post from @GAD where the Model 4 is clearly an Aria rebrand.
Thanks!
