to all the amps i've loved before
perhaps it should be AMP porn tuesday...i was slow getting started today, and actually had a request (Thanks, Tim!)...
here's a great amp i sold a little while ago...an
obscure, but rad SANO...specs: these were made by folks who left the AMPEG company in the 60's and are a great and affordable way to get that super Ampeg Reverb Rocket tone at about 60% of the price...this was a twin 12" amp (around 30 watts) with what looked like Oxford Alnico speakers...AMAZING reverb (better than any Fender I've ever heard)...so-so tremolo...super cool swirly grill :)
tubes: 3 12axy's for the preamps and reverb...a 6sc7, i'm pretty sure for the trem...and two 7591's for clean, bottom-rich output...an incredibly clean full sounding amp...not so loud...2-channel, which you can bridge...
if you see them on ebay, you should be able to snatch a mint one for under $350.
why did i sell it? because i had to have this Magnatone 260 i rebuilt...which you can't have...you can't even look at it...move along...nothing to see there...
if anyone out there has some cool or oddball guitar stuff, drop me a line at robroberge@hotmail.com and make your contribution to tuesday guitar porn...
