Members voneville Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 I have a japanese 5 watt head (picked it up in trade) with no schematic and no brand name. I'm trying to narrow it down to what design they borrowed. It looks to be from the 60's. It's Point to Point wired with 2 6AQ5 Power Tubes, 3 12AX7 it has tremelo and "echo". It did some weird stuff when I tried it out today. It sounds great clean, had head room all the way up to 10 (which is kind of a bummer for me as I was hoping to get some dirt). When I put an overdrive in front of it it didn't sound right. I was plugged into a 4 ohm 2-12 cab, and I'm not sure how many ohms the head is designed to run. So I didn't play it long, just made sure it worked. Anyone have any idea's what this could be or what it's based on? I'll post some pics later, too tired right now.

Members gafyagaton Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 Too obscure an amp for metal heads. I have no idea but I will make a wild educated guess: univox made amps in the 60s.The ones i've seen have tremolo and reverb but i dont recall the word "echo". They were made in japan at one point.They sometimes used that tube. But i cant find a model with that exact same configuration which makes me think i'm probably wrong.

I'm guessing it's a univox copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
