Got super lucky and saw this first and responded immediately, it was in mint condition and came with box and manual. My Brother in law, a lefty has only a shitty little sawtooth branded practice amp that is only like 5 watts, so I decided to bring it over to him and let him have it as an early birthday present. He is so happy with his new amp!

Very nice gift and great score. I have the exact same amp and it’s my go-to for just about everything around the house.

Nice! Being quick on the trigger pays off!

:D That’ is great that you found it and great you are giving to your brother in law! You might want to play with it to “test” it before you give it to him. :-)

Sweet deal and good on you for gifting it to your BIL.

Congrats nice find! You can update it to V3 with a little reading on there site and a small download. As always with firmware updates do it exactly the way they say or risk a dead amp. I did it and it worked out fine but the fact is V1 is just fine as, you just gain a few effects with the update. I have found my tone and really don't change it much at all making the update just something to brag about having done.
