Tube Amp Archive

Yes, Boogie knobs.
I found a half-dozen once on the roof of a bldg we worked on. No telling why someone tossed those up there. Used 'em up on builds/repairs. Don't tell they're worth gold now too. :-/

That's some really humorous text on that pedal.

If an amp’s been kept in a Seattle carport for years and then goes to Arizona to for a while why doesn’t the board dry out, and why doesn’t the hair drier trick work well? Does moisture permanently alter the board making it forever conductive? Some form of corrosion or oxidation of whatever is mixe...

I recently fixed a guy's noisy black Fender by simply sliding a rectangular sheet of polyethylene between the two partly conductive boards. Needed re-insulation of the forty years of dirt and rust, esp. near the steel-legged trem bug area.

Great to hear [again].
I remember they played the lawn at Long Beach State campus in '70 or so.

Found a nicely crafted one in a case pocket one time.

Love that Leslie foam near the amp combo.

Me too. Dug this guy since the 1st LP.

But how about McCartney on Penny Lane or With A Little Help....great stuff.

[and who's the awesome guy on 'Turn Down Day' by The Cyrkle. I think I've wanted to shake his hand since I 1st heard that in the car in '66.]

We HiSchool dudes'd egg ea. other to climb under that bridge along the beams...see how far you'd get before you got scared.

My Dad was a Navy aviator, so we lived everywhere, including Whidbey Island, WA in '63—'65. For one thin dollar we'd hear many of these bands on Fridays. Fun memories of gtrs, drums, Hammonds & Leslies echoing around the roller rink. https://i.imgur.com/Pu3SOmm.jpg [PS, definitive site here http://p...

I dug that San Diego store [when I lived there 20 yrs. ago, wow time flies].
Even then you had to wonder how long they could go on.

Surprised to find there's a limited selection but similar place here in Monterey/Seaside. Probably won't last either.

I wrapped some old shelf wood around one, made it into a 1-10 combo. Very useful. I've been taking it to gigs every weekend lately because it's loud yet fits well into the trunk. It sounded pretty decent as-is but I ultimately ended up rewiring it into a simple black Fender style two preamp tube con...

Dead stock SF Twin Reverb.. only one change; an ice cube.

No shit. Rock.

I wouldn't be surprised.
Get a Fender and boost it: the '70s!

I've owned a bunch of DRs, one got warm like yours. Voltages were always good though. [yes, 5 secs. isn't that abnormal]
I installed a fan anyway. Bet that thing is still running good somewhere.
