Simms Watt PA100 MK1

[tayste_2000]

Another vintage amp from my collection, this really is one of my favs but I've decided I really don't need 2.



You don't see the silver ones very often and this one is fully serviced sporting Groove Tube EL34's, I think the preamp valves are all Brimar, either way it sounds fantastic, works at 16 or 8 ohms well 15 and 7.5 but it's the same thing also unlike everyone that comes up on ebay this is extremely clean and well looked after.

4 channels each with their own Bass, Treble and volume controls, 2 inputs per channel which can also work as outputs so you can daisy chain channels to squeeze every last drop of volume out of it, this amp is fine for most people's gigs, Monz managed for 3 months with it and my Matamp 4x10 when he was waiting for his GT200 and 2 4x10's.

Not a lot more I can say about it, it's always been my favourite sounding amp, well it and the MK2 I also have (Which I'm keeping because my g/f likes the colour more, but if you really want the MK2 over the MK1 I can sort that out that one however is loaded with old Mullard valves so sounds a bit different to this one but in a more vintage fuzzy way, this is definitely the louder of the two)



They have more low end than you'll ever need and plenty of treble on tap when you want, was good enough for the Ox to use during the 70's

After £300 but open to offers.

Cheers

Amazing amps these! shame its not one of the pow ones or i'd have this off you no questions asked.

My very first band used one of these with two 4x12 columns. Those were the days.

Good luck with your sale.

I had this very amp for about 3 months and it is the definition of valve tone... awesome

[tayste_2000]

I'm going to bump this as since I got my Matamp I've not even thought about playing it so I'd like it to go to a home where it's going to be used.

Will put cash to this for a Fender Bassman 135

Cheers

You spoke to Adam from Flatlands? I don't know is his is still knocking around. Needs a little TLC (the amp, not Adam).

Will a 4ohm cab kill this?

it'd work but wouldn't sound great and you'd really shorten the valve life. why not rewire your cab to 16ohm if you can?

[bobbass4k]

Would you be willing to ship it? Also got any idea on just how heavy it is? And rough dimensions would be very nice too, cheers. And is an 8ohm cab not an ideal choice?

8ohms is fine, I can run this on my stereo 8x10 at 16 ohms by taking the 8 ohm cabs and running them in series.

I can ship, ideally if you can arrange the courier i'll just get it packed to a ridiculous standard

It's 20kgs so think 25kgs when packed

I'll measure tonight for dimensions but the shipping box will be a lot bigger than the amp

Cheers

[bobbass4k]

Cheers man, any idea on the dimensions?

WOW! What a blast from the past. That amp is the same as my first PA amp one or two years back Amazing people hung onto these, I always needed a hand to lift it anywhere

Good luck with the sale, have a nostalgic bump on me
