He shoots, HE SCORES!!!! Nice! 🔥🎸
I’d love that thing
What a great find that is. It sounds fantastic. Good Video Ron. Take care mate.
Thank you my friend, come to the US we can go amplifier hunting. Or better yet I'll come to you and do the same.
My drummer picked up one of these recently, and my other guitarist used it at our Canada Day gig this weekend, with an open back 2x12. I ran my late '64 Bandmaster and closed back 2x12, and we were relatively matched with my volume at 3.5, and his at 3 with the master full. Mic'ed, but barely up in the mains, and just a little of him in my monitor.
Great amps for outdoors, when they can turn up.
The more powerful amp (I have a '67 blackface drip-edge transitional "50 watt" - more likely less) sounds better, the bigger iron and more power tubes gives it a more solid sound even at low volumes. I recently got an AC15CH, and wish I'd gotten the AC30CH for that reason. Nice score man!
Thank you and yes you are right about the power of the amp and I've have the tendency to really like the more powerful amps when it seems the norm for most people is to stay in the 5 to 15 watt power range. I'm part of that by me is that I live in a house where I can actually turn my amps up and enjoy the sound of a more powerful amp.
I've gotten lucky before but not this lucky. Good find.
Nice find. Sounds fantastic!
Thank you - I was happy to find that it actually works and sounds pretty good.
What a awesome video have a wonderful day also stay safe Saturday was Canada day
Thanks so much, 🥂 cheers.
D. Ledford is a Fender stamp. This was either an assembler or QC person back in the day. Nice amp find. Congrats!
I thought so. Thanks for watching.
Very nice. Great find
Thanks man, I have to say I got a little excited when I saw it actually worked.
@@roncarter2188 you and me both, have fun with it!
@@dieselbreakfast Yes- thank you.
Nice one.
Last night I cranked it up and put a good univibe through it and it sounded killer.
I recently found one of these with the original pyramid 4x12 cab.
It powers up and sounds great...for about 4 minutes. It gradually starts making odd crackling noises as it gets warm. In your experience, does this point to anything?
That could be some resistors or resistor that is going bad or is bad, I'm thinking the plate resistors for the power tubes or phase inverter.
Man lucky 🍀
Thank you.....It is a pretty cool amp.
You could have made an attempt at cleaning it a tad.
That's next, first off just wanted to see if it worked. There will be a follow up with new filter caps etc. Then a good cleaning.
The "relic" look is cool now, leave the filth I say!
