When I was young and starting out I thought it was normal for an "electric" guitar to give you a tingle. Of course my generation tested batteries with our tongues. Ahhhh, the good 'ole days... No cellphones, internet, home computers, cd's, cable or satellite tv and certainly no grounded plugs.
@Taygoo15 The triangle shape behind the grillcloth on some 1482 amps is just the cutout in the speaker baffle. The speaker is a round 12" driver. Hope that helps.
I bought Sovtek tubes because all the tubes were missing when I got it. It is a really great sounding amp, but yeah, I would get a grounded one if I had the chance. And I read somewhere that the original tubes were RCA.
hi @OttarBerg, it's a S-Telly neck pickup and either a 0038 Broadcaster bridge or his Tweed Monster (I honestly can't remember at this point). Both great bridge pickups but the 0038 has a thicker midrange, while the TM is more traditional sounding with fuller frequency response. Hope that helps!
I am selling one like this just because it has too much volume. It rattles the neighbors windows bad. Sounds good to me though even though everyone else complains about the volume. Bad ass head unit no doubt!
It would go to about 15w because of the tubes it uses, but they're running at 275v on the Silvertone, when the usual is 350v as seen in the Fender 5E3 Deluxe, for example. Because of that, the Silvertone doesn't go much over 12w.
Looks like 2 12AX7, 2 6v6GT, 1 6AU6, 1 6X4. This thing is shockingly good. I mean, it sounds great and shocks the shit out of me. I'm scared to play through it until I get a grounded power cord installed.
The cabinet is not solid wood, more of a pressed fiberboard type of material... so you wouldn't want to sit on it. But it's lasted this long. It's not as loud as a tweed deluxe though, so it depends how much volume you need.
beautiful.....got one meself......but, but, don't you use the top secret thick tone trick?? that's the BEST of the endless reasons to play this model!!
Any idea how loud the volume was when you went into overdrive? I have one too and love it but when volume is 9 o' clock or over the sound cuts out sometimes. Even at 6 o' clock it still rarely cuts out a bit. Anything lower and it's fine though.
Neither is more powerful, they just go through different tubes and pre-input (tone) circuity. The circuit is impedance-matched to the input device. Single, vintage pickups will match the mike channel best. Modern humbuckers (or anything with a pedal) will work best with the instrument channel. When a magnetic input is matched to the correct impedance in the input circuit, the full frequency spectrum is absorbed more efficiently and thus sounds richer. An overloaded impedance sounds distorted, in varying ways depending on the strength of the signal.
My first good amp as a 14 year-old. The reverb came from whatever room you were playing in. This was followed by an Ampeg Gemini II / !!!###

Damn!!! That sounds good!!!

Love love love it!!!!

Nice classic tone range from one amp.
@Taygoo15 If I remember correctly, the tone on the amp was set to maximum.

Cool sound! Love it. Heck, nice playing too.

Sounds perfect!

great clip!
A classic "jimmy page studio" set up. Telecaster and a cranked combo

@Taygoo15 No, it's the original Fischer AlNiCo speaker.

amazing. awesome. love it. :D

Thanks!
Looks like a TV!!
@skilback Do you think a new speaker would brighten this puppy up.
This was one of my first amps and I still love it! How did you date yours?
dude nice sound!!! can be use with a pedal ibanez ts9 tube screamer!
Hi may I ask you how you trained your ears? You sound wonderful
@skilback Is the speaker a Jensen
how did you walk around with the camera and play guitar at the same time? You're talented, dude!!
@skilback What did you have the tone set on this video

Do you know the brands of those tubes perhaps? And that's pretty scary haha the ones I've been looking at online have a grounded cord.
@cretsina Probably about 10-12 Watts
What tubes do you have in there?
What input did you use to get that dirty sound.
Which channel has more gain, the instrument channel or the mic channel?
Neither is more powerful, they just go through different tubes and pre-input (tone) circuity. The circuit is impedance-matched to the input device. Single, vintage pickups will match the mike channel best. Modern humbuckers (or anything with a pedal) will work best with the instrument
channel.
When a magnetic input is matched to the correct impedance in the input circuit, the full frequency spectrum is absorbed more efficiently and thus sounds richer.
An overloaded impedance sounds distorted, in varying ways depending on the strength of the signal.
P90s break up better thru the mic channel
loud enough for drums?
how many watts is this amp?
Why do some of these its looks as if the speaker is a triangle
I keep seeing people say 15 Watts in the interwebs
