I even have a (completely battered but lovely) matching cab and it looks marvellous. *sigh* As for a price, I don't know. A fair wodge. It's on ebay for a ridiculous £500 but on here... Maybe £350?

Mr. Foxen Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 How much for the Carlsbro? I need to buy old valve amps faster than JoeGarcia can blow them up. I have a TC100 and it sounded great until it blew up, awaiting shipping it off for an expensive fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do with them to blow them up, dare I ask? In any case, I'd like £250 for it. It's just been revalved & serviced (in December) and not used very much since then. Ta!

The amp that blew can't have been in good order though, eh? I do similar/worse with my Selmer T 'n' B often and its still in one piece (touch wood). Nice work though. Do you play out much?

Think its just the volume he's doing it at with loads of dense pedals. Not letting him near my Matamp. Are a fairly new band, so only on our second practice, exploding amps every time makes progress slow, that demo was end of first practice playing guitar through half my bass rig. But yeah, those old Carlsbros are gonna be up and coming collectables, as they've run out of Hiwatts and such to gather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he blow speakers and then the output transformers go on the amps because of the lack of load on them? Or do the amps overheat and valves go pop-pop? Could try pointing a fan into the 'at risk' amp head(s)? In any case, I hope you get it sorted! I like feedbacky-noise stuff. Do more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 He is a regular poster here, and thinks that a pair of Aguilar GS4x12s and a 1200w Sunn head aren't loud enough already. Not sure how he blows them up, ask him. I'm going to make a new back for my head with fans on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could give you it unloaded but it weighs a shedload so it'd have to be collected. I'm not going to chuck it in for free though, chief. £380 with empty cab would do.

joegarcia Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Feels like I should chime in on the thread jacking... Don't know why Ive been so unlucky recently. Am driving them pretty hard but not blowing speakers I don't think. Ampeg V4 is currently bust (but was when I bought it really) and my old Laney 60 watter blew after I got my tech to put Golden Lion KT77's in. It's being looked at now. Pretty sure it's not impedance issues either. Should have two full stacks with four 4x12's when the amps are fixed as well as another for Organ (played with my feet). These amps look sweet, if Mr Foxen doesn't go for that Carlsbro I may have it for Organ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he's any good. I suppose you can always go for a second opinion. I'd be a little cheesed if I got a bunch of golden lion KT77's and the amp went tits up though! It all seems to make a nice racket when it works though. It's the kind of thing I'd love to try and record if I was anywhere near you chaps but I'm which is a bugger.

joegarcia Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hopefully something simple... We'll see, tech has it now and will get onto it as soon as he's sorted the V4 which should be soon.
