Inspired by the DJL Vintage Audio restoration/modification of a Gibson GA-18T Explorer, I built my own version. It's not quite what they built, and it's not quite a GA-18 clone. I changed the tone stack and the tremolo values, and a couple of other little things. Made it my own.
It's my main gigging amp, and I'm currently building another one, but with more changes such as higher B+, different filtering, voicing changes, no MV, etc.
It's kind of like a tweed Deluxe with tremolo in concept, except that it's almost completely different in execution.
Here's a video clip of a friend playing it. They really loved the tremolo. He said, "It is really responsive, breaks up nicely, and gives a great warm/slightly-compressed overdrive. And man, that tremolo sounds sweet!"
Why so little Gibson amps clones ?
