Vintage Tube Amp

Very cool vintage amplifier. It’s very dusty and needs a good cleaning. There’s some crackling in the pots when you turn the dials but it’s not actually not that bad. Totally playable as it is. The video in the gallery is of my nephew playing it exactly as-is. Be ready to dust and clean this out I’m not doing anything to it because I don’t want to damage anything. The power wire is solid…. It doesn’t have any cracking in it. For restoration and needs cleaning. It will be extremely safely packed with ups. I don’t cut corners on packing. I pack a lot of vintage electronics and turntables so I understand they care that goes into this.

Good working condition – new jewel light bulb. Original printing gone, Fender speaker.

Vintage Danelectro DM25 Tube Guitar Amplifier Tremolo Reverb. This unit was serviced in October 2022, complete with a cap job and 3 prong added for safety. Trem sounds great, reverb works and sounds as good as any dano/silvertone reverb I’ve heard. 12 Jensen is OG and sounds amazing. I will pack well and insure for full amount.

Gibson GA-40 Les Paul Point-to-point Hand Wired Tube Guitar Amplifier 1954. Fully functional with all Original Parts included. Beautiful American made vintage amp from the Golden Age of manufacturing, Kalamazoo, Michigan. This combo amp is perfect for Rhythm and Lead Guitar… And it has Tremolo! Tube driven tremolo has found a cult following in today’s roots, country, and rock music. This would be a great amp for Neil Young, John Fogerty, Ry Cooder, Joey Landreth, or Buddy Miller if you’re reading this, Buddy give me a call. From Aspen Pittman’s “The Tube Amp Book”- My favorite is the GA-40- it sounds so sweet, and really looks great! ” This amp has a “signal oscillating tremolo driven by 1/2 of a 6SN7 tube and one extra 6V6 tube. A very nice swirling and pulsing tremolo (not choppy or staccato), and a completely silent switching function. This is an ingenious circuit from Gibson, and less problematic in practice than the bias-based tremolo or harmonic tremolo from Fender with 3 additional tubes! I sometimes leave the tremolo on for both rhythm and leads. In my opinion, this amp is easily the equal of the classic Fender Tweed Deluxe (I have owned several), plus it has that swampy Tremolo! The amp accepts Strats, Teles, and Gibson guitars equally well. I’m going to call it the characteristic “Gibson Sound”. This is the ultimate “Player’s Special”. Marc Meyer of Firebottle Toneworks went over every inch of this amp, replacing dried up wax and electrolytic capacitors and failed resistors. 3-prong power cable was installed, and he crafted a hand-made mahogany Tremolo footswitch. All the replaced original parts are included in a baggie for you, as well as the original instruction manual from 1954. The carry handle was gone, so I replaced it with a black leather luggage handle. The Amp has all the original transformers, chokes, and… That’s right, the original USA 1954 vacuum tubes tested good, and sound great. If you’re out playing, and the amp picks up some noise, or a tube fails… Simply power down and quickly replace all the tubes. No need to rebias- it’s all self-bias, i. One minute later, you’re back to live playing. Preamp tubes are 6SJ7- which give the amp’s tone a special character- more of a throaty growl than the smaller more trebley common 12AX7. The original set are metal jacketed RCA, and the second set are NOS glass bottle 60′s US made 6SJ7. The original power tubes are RCA 6V6, and the second included set are Reissue Russian Tung-Sol. One original and one NOS US 6SN7, one original and one NOS 5V4 rectifier tube round out the complement. The amp has the original 1954 12 Jensen P12Q Alnico concert series speaker with original dust bell, which has just been freshly reconed by THE expert- Ted Weber inc. This Gibson amp is ready to play, and now you can push it into overdrive and louder territories without fear of blowing the speaker! The recone may start to sound even better after a 2-3 week “breaking in” period. This amp accepts pedals very well, and has a bit of “clean head room”- a little louder than a Fender Tweed Deluxe before it breaks up. And “Edge of breakup” is where this amp lives. I often just roll down the guitar volume to 8 for a clean rhythm sound, and when the guitar’s on “10″ and the amp halfway up- strident chords, lead tone for days which will stand out in a band or recorded mix! I made a video to provide a clean sound demo for this amp… Even with my funky vintage Strat under fluorescent lights in the basement, you can tell this amp sounds great! Well, I’m a little bit rusty. Amp is a 1 x12 speaker combo, putting out about 20 Watts (seems louder than a Tweed Deluxe Fender) from the pair of cathode-biased 6V6 power tubes. Should be loud enough for most combo situations, including playing with a normal drummer (Blues, Rock, Roots, Jazz, Country). Only if the new drummer shows up with a Mohawk hairdo, double kick drums, and is a real rock pounder would this amp be NOT loud enough. In that situation, I can heartily recommend taming him with any 50 Watt Marshall aimed in his direction. Or better, keep your classic tone by miking the Gibson amp through the PA. In the home recording studio this Gibson amp really shines. When tracking guitar parts, you’re always looking for a special sound, something different to stand out in the mix. A rare Gibson amp like this can offer tones very different from Fender, Marshall, or Vox amps in the studio. The Octal-based 6SJ7 preamp tubes which run at fairy low voltages produce a unique sound- a throaty growl which would be hard for other amps to emulate. Plus tremolo- did I mention it has tremolo? Measures 23 x 17 x 8 inches and weighs 24 lbs. Easy on your back. Will include a like new blue road case. This amp is ready to play! I have 100% feedback for a reason. This amp comes from our smoke free, Covid free (so far) home. You can make me an offer, but this is a fair BIN price..

RARE, ORIGINAL, WORKS GREAT! High Quality, American Made, Point-to-point wiring. This is a VINTAGE 1976 SANO SUPER NOVA STEREO TUBE AMPLIFIER. Designed to be used for guitar and I suppose accordion. It is complete and functions properly. Controls and inputs have been cleaned, no scratchy pots. Everything works as it should. The cabinet covering shows light wear. The grill cloth is in great shape. This is a solid, road worthy beast; weighs 65 lbs.. Each channel has volume, treble and bass controls. The stereo channel has a second input stage with treble volume and bass volume controls. There are push buttons to engage the reverb and tremolo for each/either/both channels. Made in the U. I honestly believe I was the first person to ever open the back of this amplifier. Nothing has been touched for 44 years. Original transformers, speakers, pots, electrical components, tubes, etc. From what I can tell the amp is completely original with the exception of one of the knobs. Power amp tube lineup… 2-GE 12AU7, Westinghouse 5U4GB rectifier, 2-GE 8417 power tubes. The preamp tubes are also all original… One United Electron 6FQ7 and the balance are USA General electric 9 pins (2-12AX7′s and 2-12AU7′s or 12AT7′s). This has the original 2 prong cord. The side of the fuse holder is damaged and you should consider replacing it if/when you decide to upgrade to a grounded power cord. The speakers are original to the amplifier. Square magnet, Eminence made, 67-7548 codes, so made the 48th week of 1975. Look like they could easily handle 50 watts a piece. This is definitely a clean amp. And I’m saying clean all the way up the volume dial. The 8417 power tubes are designed for high fidelity and that is exactly what you get. Full bass, rich midrange and crystal clear highs. Serious Jazz, acoustic electric and classic country players will love this amp. I would guess it puts out 50-60 watts. Rock and rollers should also consider this amp. This would make a great foundation for pedals if you want your sound to remain constant at all volumes. The tremolo and reverb are very well designed and rival that of the best Fender, Traynor or Ampeg from the same era. That is a bargain. This item is heavy and will require extra time and care to package. I never use UPS. Old electronics are scratched, worn, chipped, cracked, dirty, dusty, stained, ugly, tinkered with, missing parts, etc. The exteriors have wear that includes cuts, holes, tears, scuffs, missing stitching, missing or replaced feet and knobs. In the course of servicing over the years, they typically do not have all original components. Old electronics typically hum and have scratchy controls. As a basic test I have operated this amp for at least 4 hour recently and it did not fail, smoke, blow fuses, etc. Typically easy and inexpensive to maintain, you should be aware, old electronic require maintenance. Old electronic can fail at any time. We will work through the claim together until things are right.
