DC Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 It's got three 12AX7s, and two 6L6s to produce 40 watts. It's also $199.00 in the americanmusical.com catalog. What's the catch? Anyone played through it? -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_dup3 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 No, although I had one of the original 1960s/70s models---they were great for a rough, blues-rock tone & getting the sound of a large, loud amp in a small room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Gauss Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 i've played one. neat for blues harp. kinda tinny for guitar unless you drive an extension cab with it. which it will do easily. it does get loud. can't really beat the price. i think the jersey guy who made it also did some of the ampeg reissues? as well as sundown amps? -d. gauss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickerman Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 They're supposed to be great. I haven't heard them first hand but my only concern is that it doesn't seem like it'd get too crunchy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny5 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 check out Steve Ahola's site www.blueguitar.org there is a ton of info on that amp and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, Zappa used the little transister original amp and we're discussing the new tube Pig. -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not coaster MODERATOR Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 That little transistor amp sure is cool. It was my first and most fun toy I ever owned. Lots of fond memories. And you could get good tone out of it doggonit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
