Tube Amp Archive

It got recapped and everything last year they told me
All ways could be in my head but it better with just using the single channel

So about two weeks ago I picked up a twin reverb with a flight case . The tremolo doesn’t work but that’s fine because I like the normal channel better than the effect channel. I find the effect channel much more bright and a little thinner than the normal channel. It’s the same with the Mesa but th...

Well ive heard that when your caps go it does weird things. But i thought i need caps but i just needed tubes.

Picked this one up for a reasonable price knowing it needed a full service amongst other things, alarm bell started ringing when the footswitch exhibited some funny behaviour , Leds, not fully illuminating , functions failing to switch, the amp sounded gutless, sterile, real lack of gain on drive c...

Seems you missed replying? you just quoted me and no further response? :) ~Phil Woops . He quoted $1800 cad for an 18 watt amp with no reverb or tremolo . He won’t nether . I can find a used vox ac30 cc2 for $600-$700 cad and get a nice guitar for the price of the single 12 blues beaker clone Sent ...

I guess the bigger point I was trying to make is the AC30vr isn't a real AC30, it's an attempt to make one as close as possible for a lot cheaper. The current C2 and CC2 aren't that close either, since Korg bought out Vox anyway, the originals are where it's at imo. But either way, If you want that...

Isn't the AC30vr a mostly solid state amp? I believe it just uses a single preamp tube for some tone shaping and then solid state for the power stage. I'd not qualify that as the same thing as a true AC30 at all. Just my 2c. I don't know of that company of which you speak, so I can't speak to that ...

I’m looking at getting an amp built for me in March .its from a company in Halifax Nova Scotia . I love the look of the old British amps but honestly I’ve played a few vox and marshal amps but none really impressed me . I found my vox ac30vr 2x12 really thin sounding and well marshal that’s just I h...

Welcome, I love the Mesa is it a MKIIA(no effects loop) or MKIIB(with effect loop) I just got one over on Guitar Center they had a Meesa Boogie MKI listed and I found out it is a MKIIA Head with reverb and EQ in that same blonde tolex, only asking $600 for it. Should have it Monday shipped from NM ...
