This amplifier is ideal for professionals and enthusiasts seeking a classic audio experience with top-notch build quality. It sports 2-6BQ5 tubes providing 10-17 watts of power for that early British toned, perfect as a studio amp or performing in small venues. There is a clean and dirty input which allows for clean or dirty sound for use with harp or guitar at most volume levels. Features 4, 8, and 16 ohm speaker outputs. Mad Daddy is one guy, Carl, based in Medina, Ohio. He was an electrical engineer for 50 years and in the 60′s worked on torpedo guidance systems. He’s also a guitar guy that enjoys building and rebuilding amps. He has a few signature pieces such as his Pure Daddy Combo, a skillfully reconfigured EVJ chassis and cabinet with a hand wired point to point Champ circuit. He also is extremely skilled at rebuilding vintage PA amps like this one, voiced for guitar and/or harp. Carl will also take special orders to modify or repair your amp or revoice it for your individual needs. If any of the amps we modify come to us with death caps, they are replaced with a safer circuit and all amps are outfitted with safer 3-prong electrical plugs. The new badge and labels placed on the amps are there for your convenience but are readily changed or removed at your discretion. We have other vintage amps we are working on but this is the only one of these we have. It’s unlikely we’ll find another, especially in this condition.

Vintage Bell & Howell Tube Amp – FilmoSound Amplifier w/12 Speaker – (Guitar/Harp Combo Amp). This is a Bell & Howell Filmosound Projector Tube Amplifier with a 12 speaker, which I believe is Jensen. It is in excellent condition, and has been tested in the projector (a video of which I have posted on Youtube). As well as posting a video of this amps features here. In the video here. The Filmosound amplifier is playing a short section of Dweezil Zappa’s guitar solo in the song Inca Roads. I disassembled the speaker and amplifier to ensure there were no surprises, and the pictures show that the speaker and amplifier are in superb condition. The vacuum tubes are (2) two 6L6G (1) one 5Z4 and (1) one 6SL7GT. Please see the videos in the links above for more information on the amplifiers condition and functionality. This tube amplifier and 12 speaker from the original projector normally has another tube amplifier (also for sale here) that provides the preamp for this speakers tube amplifier. In order to utilize this one enclosure, I have replaced that tube preamplifier with a small solid state amplifier that has a separate on/off control, and also provides additional tone and volume control. The amp also has an additional 1/4 speaker/audio out jack to allow for the use of an additional speaker. The pics show the physical condition.
