Vintage Tube Amp

This VHT Special 6 has been modded for harp and sounds great and is pretty feedback resistant. JJ tubes and a Jupiter 10sc 10 speaker. I was never a fan of the looks of the stock VHT, so I re-did the baffle and added a custom special 6 badge.

For sale is a very nice VHT Special 6 Tube Amp Head. This is one of the best “sleeper” amps out there (look it up). 6 watts of power with a few little additions that give the amp a wide range of sounds (Hi/Lo inputs, Boost, High/Low power switch). But what sets this amp apart is the hand-wired chassis on a traditional eyelet board instead of a pcb board. That makes the amp easy to modify or to upgrade if desired. This amp is in excellent condition and has never been out of the house. It comes with an E-H 6V6 GT power tube and a Tung-Sol 12AX7 pre-amp tube. Check the pics and let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for looking.

This vintage homemade amplifier is a very unique piece. Hand-built by my neighbor, as a student in 1967 for his high school project. Red power indicator lights up and vacuum tubes glow but not tested with other components connected. Was told it has a 30 watt output. Measures 18.5″ x 11″ x 10. Real wood covered with wood grain contact paper. Made from wooden and metal components, as well as some plastic and glass. Comes with a 10 line output connection capability, 3 input jacks, a spare electrical outlet and it has a fuse. The 4 Dials and toggle switch operate smoothly. Custom metal switch position indicator panels behind switches are intricately stenciled/cut and drawn on by hand. Power cord is supple and has no kinks or cracks. It’s perfect for vintage electronics and audio enthusiasts and collectors, or for display as a conversation piece. Has the wonderful retro look and feel. The interesting black tinted plexiglass panel has some slight scratches and stains. Casing has some paint stains and nicks, see pics. Comes from a smoker free environment. Local pick-up recommended, although will pack with extra care with styrofoam peanut packing and bubble wrap inside unit.

After Much deliberation I have decided to part with this little monster. Not much info out there on this one so I’ll tell you what I think I know. It was sitting around in the basement it was used and dusty and had not seen the light of day in a few years. I plugged it in and it fired right up and sounded great. I’ve got a lot of great deals on gear throughout the years but this was one of the best and one that I’ve kept the longest. These were made in japan in the early 60′s. It is hand wired, all vacuum tube. The speaker is 3w 80hm and 5 1/2 paper cone. Tubes are one 6AR5 and two 6AV6. I’ve never replaced the tubes and assume they are original. I guessing the power output is 5-10watts but I don’t really know. It appears to be all original with only a few cosmetic issues. The chrome cover for the Strap handle is missing and there are paint rubs and dirt smudges here and there. The grill is perfect without rips or stains. The red vinyl covering is also in very good shape, without any major rips or holes. The amp has never had any repairs or modifications to my knowledge. This thing sounds great. The paper cone speaker breaks up very musically. It handles pedals surprisingly well. I did find a youtube video of someone playing a similar amp if you want to check it out. Takt Amp and Ampeg Heavy Stud Guitar on youtube I’ve used this in the studio and it records fantastic. It can get a little noisy depending on pedals you use in front and what its sitting next too. But those have always been easy issues to solve. That being said Im not going to let it go without a fight. I don’t see any currently for sale anywhere online. I’m going to start at the low end of the middle and see where it goes. I have other amps that I don’t like near as much (pignose, Marshall, & mesa boogie) that I will be listing soon along with some other instruments and gear, so stay tuned (gotta thin the herd).

Vintage 1960s Hand Wired Tube Guitar Amp Head Akai Conversion like Fender, Vox, Ampeg. Excellent condition, no issues. Listen to samples of the clean and overdrive sounds these amps can produce with P90, Strat, and humbucking pickups at: (Its a friend, not me playing). The Sammies from Charlotte, NC performing a cover of Gang Of Four’s “To Hell With Poverty” in the studio for the virtual benefit show “Love Thy Neighbor: A Tribute to Benefit Roof Above”. The guitarist on the right, with the darker Strat, is playing through one of these amps in this video. This amp was designed and constructed using the basic foundation of a 1960s (Akai M8) Roberts 770X tube reel to reel tape recorder. The amplifier circuitry has been optimized to specifically serve as a guitar amp rather than as hi-fi equipment. Where practical the original vintage components, including the tubes, have been kept. All filter and bypass capacitors have recently been replaced and a 3 prong power cord added. The amp is in excellent operating condition and looks almost new. There are 2 instruments inputs which share the common volume and tone controls. The 2 inputs however employ separate, and different, input stage tubes and therefore sound very different. The first input uses an EF86 (6267) tube. These tubes were used in 1960s vintage VOX amps, and are still used in some Dr. Z, Matchless, and other boutique amplifiers. The 2nd input uses a 12AX7 (12AD7) tube. 12AX7s are the most common preamp tubes used in guitar amplifiers such as Fender, Mesa Boogie, and Marshall. All of the tubes included are the original vintage 1960s tubes. This amp is very quiet (background noise and hum) and breaks up nicely at reasonable volume levels. The tone circuit uses a modified passive Baxandall/James circuit (Bass and Treble controls) similar to the type of tone stacks used in the original Ampeg, Orange, and some Dr. Additionally, a boost switch increases the gain and frequency response of the amp providing additional tonal flexibility. The output stage is a single-ended class A power amp. This amp uses an EL84 (6BQ5). Single-ended class A amps were used in many lower power 1950s-60s Fender Tweed and Blackface amps and in Vox’s AC-4, which also used the EL84 tube. The amp uses a 6X4 tube rectifier. For reference, the Layla album was recorded with both Clapton and Allman playing single-ended Class A, 5 watt Fender Champ amplifiers. This amp is great for rehearsal, small venue use, and especially studio recording. The cabinet was custom designed and constructed for this amp. The amp comes with the decorative vent grill which can be removed exposing the glowing tubes, which looks very cool. A schematic diagram will be provided for future reference.
