Very rare brand of amp from a large secondary Japanese manufacturer. Coron (from what I've found thus far) seems to be their primary brand for "in-house" stuff...but they'd rebrand/relabel things at the drop of a dime for whoever ordered enough. Think of them as a smaller scale Maxon.
Their pedals seem mostly based on other fore-runners of the time (Boss, Ibanez/Maxon, MXR), and are typically made with good quality components. I'd expect much the same for their amps. Probably based on a major maker at the time, and using decent mat's. How's it sound?

It's sounds pretty good for what i can tell, sounded a little like Jack White's guitar when i tried it! do you have any idea about what year it was made and what it could be worth? it has serial number 000028. I paid 20$ for it in a garage sale!Comment

Ah, so it's a Marshall Minor! Is that a 10" in that or a 12"? Either way, kinda cool for what it is!

Well, unfortunately, they aren't worth 'anything' to speak of. At least not in a practice amp. I know that I've seen other similar Japanese brands (Guyatone) who made tube amp 'replicas' of Fenders go for a fair amount though. But I think the obvious distinction is that they were tube.Originally posted by TheBuzz View Post
You could possibly date by the usual methods though...
- Look for date codes on the pots (probably not likely on Japanese, much less on a practice amp)
- Look at the capacitors (sometimes they'll include a date code on the plastic wrap)
- Look for date codes on the ic's
My hunch is, it's probably early-mid 80's. No need to run out and insure it, nor think of putting it on ebay in hopes of making a mint lol, but regardless of 'monetary value', I'd say you got a nice little score for $20 if you like the sound!
If not, you can at least get your money back out of it, and perhaps even make $10-20 bucks! Start simple...then go deep!
