Members Sandy Cheeks Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 Looks cool and I love the 15", but I wish it were a clean-headroom type of amp. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wjbratcher Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 I am surprised at how much I want one of these. I said wtf (aloud) when I saw the initial press about this amp. Then I thought about it more and realized what a great {censored}ing idea they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ItchyFingers Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 Nice Rev. Hope you are too busy breaking in that speaker to post! Before the electric guitar it was the accordion that was the most popular instrument in the US. No, seriously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RadioSilence Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 Anyone know if Fender intend to release a 240v version for Aussies? Well they're selling them in the UK, we're 240 volts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eburst Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 Well they're selling them in the UK, we're 240 volts too. Cool, I haven't seen it out here yet and I've been waiting for it since the NAMM launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArrMatey Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 Cool, I haven't seen it out here yet and I've been waiting for it since the NAMM launch. I know they are due in oz as well, they prob will be a bit pricier than in the states but they should be still within a reasonable price bracket. I think they are due at the end of this month but don't hold me onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1DZReverendDavidLee Posted April 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 Bump for info on the cleans. If its true the accordian input has a dB pad, then that could be used to get clean tones? Yes there is plenty of clean headroom! On all 3 inputs! Sorry I didn't come back sooner but yes... I was having a blast with this amp. You can dial up to 3/4th's of the volume even on the guitar input and get very sweet sparkly cleans and I attribute that to the 15 inch speaker. All I could think of last night was that if the speaker sounds this good new - I can only imagine it will be simply wonderful with getting broken in. I was suspicious about the quality of the speaker at the price of this amp but that suspicion has been amply laid to rest. The tubes are Electron brand Made in China and the amp of course is also Made in China. The main disconcerting thing about the amp is that it only carries a 1 year warranty. Time will tell if this becomes an issue. It appears to be very well built. Weighs 33 lbs and is 21 inches tall and 19.5 wide. Great size and good carrying feel to it all the way around. The tech manual that came with it states the following info for the 3 inputs: guitar = 1M ? mic = 200k ? accordion = 50k ? Lastly - the amp takes pedals extremely well.

Members 1DZReverendDavidLee Posted April 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 This, or something like it. It's kind of a variation on "High" and "Low" inputs, or "Normal" and "Bright". How big a difference is there, Rev? Is there enough tone variation / volume similarity to make for a sorta-kinda two channel amp with an AB/Y? Yes there is a noticeable difference. You can consider the tonality different enough to consider it an A/B quasi two channel kind of setup but no Y as there's no way to run both Bright/Dark simultaneously.

Members Tool Shedd Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 The tubes are Electron brand Made in China and the amp of course is also Made in China. Do you see a bias pot hole in the chassis? I'll probably want to put a set of Tung Sol reissue tubes in mine eventually. They sound great in my Vibro Champ.

One more thing - if a person wanted to - you can disconnect the 15 inch speaker and run this amp with an external 8? speaker cab although that kind of defeats the purpose of buying this amp for one of it's best features IMHO. Have a great weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 How's the tone switch on it? Does it make a big difference in the sound? One of my main concerns would be lamenting the lack of a tone control later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
