Help identify this guitar amp

Post by Tonegeek »

Took this in for repair today. I have no idea what brand or model it is. Chassis stamps say 6L6 outputs and 12au7 pres. front panel from left to right is stamped Bass, High, Low, Deep, Sharp, Treble, Bass, Volume.

Ignore the nameplates. On the other hand, maybe its a promotional gimmick. You get a free amp when you buy a new Ford truck. :lol:

Ring any bells?

Univox also made a version for Lafayette and probably others.

Looks a little like the Silvertone heads as well.. I've seen some pretty oddball Univox amps. I found one with a single 1x15 that I thought was going to be a cool blues amp. Nope, not very loud and not very cool, I was kind of surprised. It had a really thin light cabinet too..

Regards,

Don

I 've got a 305-r After a litlle work it sounds great.Plywood cab 1x15 Jensen

Alot of these amps don't have bypassed cathodes.In the pre.

Adding cathode bypass caps will usually wake them up.

The oil filled caps they used are most always leaking by now.At least everyone in my amp was.That'll cause em not to sound very good.

Yep, you win the prize. On the Univox site it says one of the pres is a 12ax7 but the chassis is stamped at each hole for 12au7. The amp I have has 2 x7 and 1 u7. I will fire it up shortly and start trying to figure out what is wrong with it.
thx.

From a design standpoint I like the horizontal tubes low in the chassis
Just seems that there is more place for the heat to go

I'm working on a combo cab using a similar principle.

Carr does the same thing with their new Sportsman combo chassis.
