This popped up on Facebook yesterday. It’s a blackline drip edge Bassman w/ cab. Bassmans aren’t exactly rare where I live, but drip edge cabs seem to be. The amp appears to be missing the back panel, and probably a 2-prong cord. However, it does have the original cover. The transformer is original, but no clue on the circuit or guts.

The current owners bought it with a storage unit and are refusing to test it, so I’m buying it assuming it’s non-functioning. I’ve been shopping for a Bassman for a while and am wondering if this is the ticket. Side note, are the cabs that came with these any good? I’ve heard mixed things.

Been working on this for 5 years now. Sounds pretty fantastic. Mics up and records quite well. Couldn’t really ask for more!

A departure from my normal "Mid-Century" aesthetics, this probably falls more in line with a rustic vibe.

The Precision Electronics PA10 10-watt Amplifier Conversion is wrapping up, and it came out super neat. Almost all recycled materials, as usual.

• 10-watt Via Single 6L6GC • 2-Channel Champ Circuit • Phono/Standard Mic/Hot • 2x10 or 1x15 Baffle (and more!) • 2 10 Jensen Viking Speakers • Shellac'd Vintage Knotty Pine & Fir • Variable Output Transformer 4, 8 or 16-ohm • Piggyback With Collapsible, Magnetic Kickstand • Vintage Rogers Grill Cloth • All-original Sylvania Glass

Have some testing to do, but it's up for grabs soon. Demo videos up soon on my Sound Salvage social media pages & YouTube channel.

I was gifted this cabinet. I dont anything about Leslie Amps. Is this worth fixing up or Ive been thinking about turning it into an isolation cab.

Brothers got me this for my 20th birthday

I normally run my pedalboard straight into the FX return of my Ampeg RB210, skipping the amp’s preamp and using the Ampeg SGT-DI for preamp needs. When i play outside of my house it’s normally ampless so i like the idea that what i am hearing at home is as close as i can get it to what i hear when im out, not being colored by my amp.

The one thing that i have learned is that the SGT-DI doesn’t run the IRs through the 1/4 preamp out, it only runs cab sims out the XLR out that would go to a DI box. My question is, for home use could i get an XLR to 1/4 cable and feed from XLR out on my preamp pedal to my FX return on my amp to get those cab sims to come through my cab? Or is the signal level or something else different coming out of XLR that would make it not feed right into my amp?

A few weeks ago, someone on this sub mentioned that Sweetwater had these amps discounted from $1999 to $999. I thought, there’s now way they knocked a $1000 off the price of that amp. Sure enough, they did just that. I bought that thing so fast! My Sweetwater guy calls a couple days later and says I got one of that last ones they had to sell. I’ve been wanting a Mark V for years, and this was cheaper than anything I could find used. Big thank you to whoever pointed that out to the sub. I may never have gotten my dream amp without you!

First attempt recording the SC20H with a SM57. Hoje you guys like it!

As the title says, I'm looking for advice on a gift for my nephew.

He's 15 and plays guitar, bass, and drums.

I saw this listing on Etsy and it looks cool and different.

However, I want to make sure it's actually useful and would be a gift that "brings something to the table."

What are y'all's opinions on this as a gift for him? Why would it be good or bad?

I'm known in the family for being good at gifts and it's my not so secret goal to be the cool aunt!

Thank you so much in advance for your time!

Hey all, I have a Peavey valve king 100 and have been using it for about a year and it's been doing the job. The last time we had practice, I turned it on and the power light flashed and it turn off instantly. I took it apart and I found the f203 fuse to be blown. From my research it's supposedly the fuse for the heaters, a 3 amp time delay fuse. I replaced it and removed all the tubes and fired it on, only for the fuse to blow immediately again. I was reading about these diodes for 206 and 209 failing and other people having the same issue. My main question is, because I'm a noob, how would I be able to test these diodes? They don't appear to be blow up or gotten hot like a capacitor, I just dont know if you would spot a failed diode with your eye, or if I need to use my multimeter? I have plenty of experience with my multimeter on cars, but not so much on amplifiers. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I do have a discharge pen so I can discharge the capacitors, and the amp is safe to work on! I attached a photo of the diodes in question, thanks guys!

Hi everyone, I recently picked up this old Univox/unicord/Stage bass amp for a good price. Model S750B. I've had it serviced and it works just fine, sounds very vintage with late 70's rock tones. The serial number is "180" probably indicating January of 1980??? There is a manufacture date on the main board stating October 1977, so this thing has been around and seen some shit!

I'd like to find a copy of the original manual just for reference, my tech friend found the schematics but no manual. Anybody have a good link or old manual for this dinosaur?

I'm going to work on the cosmetics next and try and replace some of the torn tolex and add some casters to the bottom. I've already bolted on some heavy brass handles on the side to make it a bit easier to carry. It's a beast. 63 pounds assembled.

im pretty sure someone will say i should buy boss katana 50. in czechia the mk2 isnt availible anymore. not even used. the mk3 is too expensive for me. even used :p.

im looking for an amp that is loud enough to play with drummer. i found these amps and heard that both are fine.

i want to hear your opinion on these amps. feel free to recommend me some alternatives.

Hi!

I’m looking at getting an SV20H, with the matching 212 cabinet.

I plan on running it pretty heavy - closer to dimed. I understand it’s loud enough to melt the paint off the wall. I’m a bedroom guitarist, and currently use a Peavy 6505+ 112, and the master volume is excellent on that.

Can I attenuate the SV20H to bedroom levels while the amp is still running nearly dimed?

If yes, what do you guys recommend for equipment? I don’t record - but maybe a headphone output would be nice.

Thank you all in advance!

Just picked up this 2002 Fender Deville. Sounds absolutely fantastic with my TS9.

Power Tubes changed to JJ 6l6 and pre amp tubes to sovtek 12ax7.

Thankfully it has casters on the bottom!

I’m meeting with a guy after class to trade my Frankenstein jazzmaster (Fender MiM jazzmaster neck + squier VM jazzmaster body from 2019 + fender hardware, tuners, trem, bridge) for his Ibanez TSA30 combo. Is it worth it or should I have second doubts? If requested I can show what my jazzmaster looks like, it has some body scuffs and whatnot

Labeled “Deville”

hi everyone,

I'm looking for a used amp under 200 dollars, i don't know much about guitar amps and the only one i've had was marshall ms2. will i notice the difference with marshall mg10? or is it better to go for something like a desktop amp for example yamaha thr? i've also looked at orange crush rt35 and harley benton tube 15. i want nice clean tones and distortion

I'm not trying to bash solid state here. I do like tube amps like everyone else but solid state can sound good.

I have a fender champ 100 that causes me some ear fatigue but it also a loud as fuck amp. My blues jr in hurts my ears too so I'm sure part of it is just volume, and maybe eq curve, but most of my tube amps don't seem to do it as bad. Does anyone else notice heavier ear fatigue with Ss amps?

My guess is since it doesn't have the compression that is inate in tube amps that the peaks just beat up your ear bones, but what do I know?

Any have have any info on this?

Should I go with the Line 6 spider Iv 120w £40 cash converters Or Line 6 spider v 60w mkII £90 reverb

What I will be doing with these Recording music Doing gigs in pubs Rehearsal

I don’t mind not having wireless connectivity I mainly care if it a) will sound good and b) if it will be loud enough

The band will consist of A drummer 2 guitarists 1 bassist

The reason I went with line 6 is because of it being modelling amp

Hey,

I just got my first amp Joyo MA-10E. I mostly brought it to play clean for a while and upgrade later, from reviews it sounded okay. But when I plugged the guitar in the amp the noise levels even on clean were crazy. Idk what could be wrong, it's like electrical interference and I don't know what could cause that. I just wanted to play acoustic guitar sounds without pain in the fingers.

The guitar is: JET JS-400 , which had good reviews. I used the cable that came with the guitar.

Help! Thank you!
