Here’s a really cool tube amplifier. It has mic (or guitar) level input and also line-level input. The phono-plug mic-level input has sensitivity 0.02 V for full output and the RCA line-level input has sensitivity 0.3 V for full output. A two way speaker system in the front which sounds awesome and is really fantastic with a vintage microphone. There’s certainly some potential here for a busking guitar amp or a harmonica amp. All the electrolytics were replaced with F&T or other high quality replacements, Coupling capacitors were replaced as well. No more leaky drifting wax caps. They are well testing vintage tubes. A 6X4 Rectifier, 6V6 Power tube and 12AX7. It operates without issues. Its been brought up to electrical safety standard with a grounded AC cable and a fuse holder was added. These were not fused from the factory. It’s sure to leave you with a repair bill soon after.
Up for sale, a 1954 Gibson GA-20 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Featuring original two-tone cosmetics, a Jensen P12R speaker, and a professionally serviced circuit, this GA-20 is the perfect mid-size combo from the golden age of tube amplification. In many ways analogous to Fender’s narrow panel tweed amps of the same era, the GA-20 features a four input design with a 6V6 power tube pair, 5Y3GT rectifier, and dual triode (12AX7, etc) tubes in the preamp. Offering distinctly different voicings between the single Microphone input and the three Instrument inputs, the GA-20 is at its most aggressive via the Mic channel. While this input does offer a modicum of clean headroom, it quickly overdrives with a sizzling, chewy sound that’s extremely smooth. The Tone control has an absolutely massive sweep, actually adding a bit more gain when turned up. Maxing out both Volume and Tone knobs yields a ripping, cutting sound that interacts equally well with single coils and humbuckers. The Instrument inputs have more range in the clean signal, with a full-bodied and sweet sound that works well with a host of effects pedals. Turning down the Tone knob on this channel and pushing the Volume can achieve a very nice bark and a spitty quality almost akin to certain fuzz boxes, depending on the guitar being used, and once again diming everything out delivers plenty of richness and roar. The point-to-point circuit has been professionally serviced and thoroughly recapped with premium tubular signal caps in the preamp and F&T power supply caps. The output transformer has been replaced with a vintage-accurate Mercury Magnetics ToneClone GA20-O, mounted to the speaker frame, while the original power transformer is intact, mounted to the back of the chassis. The speaker is the original Jensen P12R alnico magnet driver which has a dark blue/green frame. The speaker has been recently professionally reconed, and the date code on the edge of the frame is from the 9th week of’54. The original two-tone covering exhibits limited wear (particularly when considering the fragility of this material compared to a conventional tolex or tweed), primarily concentrated around the edges, and half of the gold Gibson badge is still intact on the amp’s face. The graphics on the brown faceplate are clean, the brown chickenhead knobs are present, and the leather handle has been replaced.
Up for sale, a 1965 Fender Bassman head, freshly serviced and in excellent condition. Featuring the AB165 circuit, this amp delivers the rich and powerful tones associated with the Black Panel sound, and the cleans are robust and detailed. Pushing the amp past around 5 on the Volume dial of either channel coaxes shades of overdrive out of the circuit, with moderate compression and plenty of crunch and bite when diming the amp out. Perfect for guitar or bass, this amp is also an excellent pedal platform. The circuit is very original with stock Schumacher transformers (Fender’s primary transformer supplier in the Black Panel years) dating between 1964 and’65. The power amp has been professionally recapped, and the preamp has new electrolytic caps as well, ensuring reliable performance. The preamp retains a number of the original blue molded Ajax tone caps that are an essential part of the Black Panel era’s sweet, musical character, and a few Sprague Orange Drops have also been installed. The CTS and Stackpole pots have visible date codes that span late 1964 and early’65. The power cable has been upgraded to a modern three-prong variety. The tube complement includes a pair of matched Ruby 6L6s, with a Mojotone-branded phase inverter and three original RCA-branded preamp tubes. Present inside the head cab, the stock tube chart is present, with a “OH” date stamp which translates to August of 1965. While the tube chart touts the “AA” version of the Bassman circuit, the amp is wired for the “AB” configuration, which is extremely common in 1965-66, as the AA circuit was short lived and Fender used up all their remaining tube chart stock. Cosmetically, this amp is very clean, with original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth. All of the original hardware is present including the chrome piggyback clip bars, chassis straps, nickel-plated corners, handle caps, and sphinx glides (feet), and the hardware shows only light surface patina. The faceplate is in great shape, and all of the original witch hat knobs are intact.
The unit is being serviced, and all the contact and switched has been cleaned with no issue. Brand New Russia Tubes on Power Supply. 5 RCA, 1 DYNACO on signal path, all original. Due to the age of the amp. No return is accepted.
