SOLD 11/19! Yes, it's the real deal. Just acquired from a pro player and it's all working beautifully and ready to go. You know the deal (1200 watts RMS) and the features (lots of them) so who will be the lucky one? The power cord has a slightly frayed outer casing near the plug but the wiring itself is fine and I am not messing with it cause it ain't broken as they say. Otherwise it's very clean overall and all the controls function quietly. These are still the gold standard when it comes to high-powered pocket-sized amplifiers!
