Komet 60, near mint, UK voltage, Withdrawn

rosski

I love this amp but it deserves to be turned up and played more than I can as a home hobbyist/collector.
Details here: http://www.kometamps.com/products/amplifiers/komet-60
Great condition, black/red tolex, 240V

Rare beast, always thought these were cool AF

rosski

It took me a long time to find one especially with the correct voltage. Amazing attention to detail and what a sound!

Would a Fryette Power Station 2 not be cheaper and allow you to keep the beast?
I use one on my Constellation.

rosski

@donner That's a thought. I can't turn it past 2 or so and assumed that meant non-master volume amps were not for me. Does the Fryette make the Constellation more manageable?

donner

It does. I can use both combined between 9 to 11o'clock in my flat.
Wooden floorboards and tin plate gas oven ringing and vibrating, too ;-)
If the Connie is on 12:00, PS is down on 8:00.
Bright switch at the PS keeps highs high.
What remains: Speakers not moving that much air. PS can't compensate that.

rosski

Hmmm. Food for thought, thanks. I'll price the Fryette!

donner

I'd say: Try a PS2, first. It's a matter of taste, if it will please you.
In case you don't like it, you won't lose any money on it. It's sold out, used ones go around 550/600 GBP.
You will be able to sell it again very quickly.

Hey Ross,
live a power station you’re welcome to borrow if ya wanna try it out. Will be heading down the kingdom shortly so could hook up (or if you’re near Dublin we could meet there).
Theyre great, really make those big amps useable ( using it in a Friedman atm and it’s magic)...

SunDevil

Power Station works great with a K60 running EL34s - you have so many tone shaping options on the amp that you can rebalance back to you’re perfect tone

rosski

OK guys, you're talking me into keeping it- withdrawn for now

Out of interest, how much were you selling for?

We do take care for our fretboard-brethren. Rock on!
