Don McGohan MG 30-C Modified Vintage P. A. Tube Amplifier Use With RCAs Or 1/4
Friday, February 8th, 2019I acquired this amp from the storage room of a local longstanding fraternal club where it was stored with other outdated vintage electronics. The matched RCA tubes look original to me. This unit sounds better than it looks. I did not have the 6 pole speaker output cables to hear it play through, so I had it economically modified by a 50 year veteran technician so that it would play through with the use of an RCA 1 to 2 splitter. This amp is plug and play ready. This would make a great guitar practice amp. Patched into MIC2 My son has demoed this amp with his modestly priced guitar and the amp sounds great. No hum or buzz unless you turn the volume it up too high at idle. Very clean sound overall with great sustain. There is a short video of him demoing this amp on the worlds most popular video sharing website. 2 of the original 1/4 inputs were converted to speaker outputs. The single PHONO 1 input is now the main input and I have used it with an RCA 1 to 2 splitter for turntables, cassette players, and 3.5/mp3 devices and it always sounded fine. And the bass does have a wonderful resonance that can easily be overused. The MIC 2 input still works with a mic or guitar or anything with a 1/4 male plug. The PHONO2 input was not modified so it will still work with a mono output and ceramic stylus for 78s. The power cord is probably not original has 2 prongs and works fine. The RCA splitter is included. I just deoxed the dial controls. This amp is still very listenable as is, I just dont have a place to use it on a daily basis. As with any old tube amp the large tubes. Release a lot of heat so I usually ran it with the cover off. The light bulb sockets work. There is a demo video on the worlds most popular video sharing website.
