GONE - High Power Tweed Twin clone in 1x12" combo format - £600

What's Hot
TrudeTrude Frets: 914
edited October 2019 in Amps £

This is a custom made combo based on the 5F8A (High Power Tweed Twin circuit, with 3 x 12AX7 and 4 x 6L6GC), housed in a large 1x12 cabinet (same width, but taller than a Vibrolux Reverb, giving the WGS G12CS speaker plenty of room to breathe)

 


I picked it up in a trade deal a while ago, but haven't used it much. 

 There are a few departures from the original circuit for extra flexibility:

  • Solid state rectifier
  • Bias adjust pot (accessible without removing chassis)
  • Pentode/Triode switch
  • Transparent master volume

I don't have a record of who the builder was, but they did a very good job.  It has custom made transformers and quality components throughout.  I've had it checked out by a good local tech and he was very impressed.

It has headroom for days as you'd expect, but the master volume does a good job of getting in the sweet spot at lower volumes.  It weighs 23.5kg (52lb), which is a pretty impressive power to weight ratio

Looking for £600, collected from Fareham, Hants.  Shipping can be arranged at cost if needed.

I'm currently Strat-curious (again) so may consider trades.

    No, can't say that I do at the moment  I could have a go at recording some if you like?

    If I was gigging, I would have it like a shot. Love the brown Tolex look. An OD pedal and a delay and it would be a my perfect rig. @firepaulmusic you need to try this.

    Well, it does look very fetching in a living room setting, and the master volume does a great job for clean home-noodling purposes :)
