Narb on Ebay!

I've never seen one before!

Well I've seen plenty of them. In fact, I've owned several and I still have the XXL model with the defib switch and the reverberating oscillator function. Also, since this is a deluxe model, it has the built in three-layer phasor.

So yeah, I've seen 'em.

NARB is Bran spelled backwards. As in Ken Bran, Jim Marshall's first Engineer. I was a way for Sound City to sell an amp same as a Marshall with a different name.

I was just playing head fock, because the OP didn't leave a link for the amp. As you an tell, he never responded to my suspicious post. Makes me wonder???

Sound City didn't last too long. Sort of like a Risson amp. Are you familiar with those? Believe it or not, they are building these by hand again using left over parts from the 80's.

At the very bottom of the page, right hand side, click on "amp pricing."

Check out that picture of a very young SLASH.

Thanks for the info, I've only seen one in the Marshall book.
I thought it might be something exciting to talk about.
I've never heard of Risson, thanks for the info.
Sorry for not including a link to the amp.

Not a problem. I'm a trouble-maker anyways.

Wow, what a complete rip! All that's really different is the name, color, and amp model name.
