Can someone ID this amp for me?

Apparently its an old Phoenix Gold amp. I want to search its specs online but I haven't been able to find anything on it.

I've never seen a phoenix gold amp that looks like that.

I really doubt it is a PG amp.

Ouch... looks a little beat up inside, likely some cooked FETs from what I can see and maybe an area where the board is cooked, too?

Does it work?

hate to be "that guy" but pics of both ends might be helpful as well.

Maybe the board ID WPC22011 can help ID it... but I cant see anything useful inside there.

to me it looks like an old Pioneer... but definitely a cheapie by the looks of those internals

I think you really need to relocate that amp to a dumpster...

It looks like it has been on fire and will again in the near future.
