umph Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) This head is from the late 50s and puts out around 55watts from 2 el34s. It's quite a cool looking head and really small and easy to transport (who needs a markbass head when you can get a portable valve head!) and gets pretty loud when paired up with some effiecent cabs. the valve line up is mainly mazda valves apart from a mullard ef86 driving the phase splitter It can do 8 or 4ohms and has two speaker outputs and has 4 channels each with their own eq. I would say the sound of it was more akin to a original orange amp - fat and warm with some fat distortion when cranked. This amp has been recently serviced and everything is in working order - all caps and power resistors where replaced aswell as the amp rebiased a bit colder and the grid voltage brought down. i'll put up some pictures later price wise i'm looking for around 225pounds for this amp, although i'm open to offers and trades Edited November 16, 2009 by umph
tayste_2000 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Trade for a Dynacord MV15 that needs a bit of a service? [url="http://tinypic.com/useralbum.php?ua=45It2s124q9lByPk4r7hoQ%3D%3D"]http://tinypic.com/useralbum.php?ua=45It2s...yPk4r7hoQ%3D%3D[/url]
umph Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 is it just in need of a general service etc? could you tell me the valve line up?
tayste_2000 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 It has 3 EL84's and 3 ECC83's Works flawlessly for 30minutes or so then a loud hum is introduced into the signal chain, signal still passes through it but I'm assuming it's a cap issue as I recall it has the original 50's dynacord caps in it. I'd like to keep it really but retubing 2 Strategy's is very expensive so don't have the spare cash for the Beck.
umph Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 you sure its 3 el84s? it's tempting, i saw that you have some simm watts heads any chance you'd wanna part with one of them in exchange? not sure i'd be after another el84 amp
tayste_2000 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I don't know I absolutely love my Simms, if you're not in a rush I will be able to buy it sooner or later just waiting for my 400+ to sell, I have a buyer but not till the end of November.
umph Posted November 12, 2009 Author Posted November 12, 2009 okay i'm not in a huge rush to sell either, but i may wack this on ebay at some point.
umph Posted November 29, 2009 Author Posted November 29, 2009 bump again gonna wack this on ebay next week!
