Members jussi_k Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Right now I'm super excited, it seems that I have finally scored a Laney Klipp 60W tube-head from early 70s, like Tony Iommi used at the time around Masters of Reality-album. I have been looking for one for a long time now, and the price is good too. Someone had just posted in on an online forum and he promised to hold it for me... (Pssst, if the deal happens, it means that the stuff in my sig need to go.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sir H C Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yes. My other Laneys don't have that great of shots, but the Music City (Super Group in a different look) is pretty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bbrunskill Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 I've used one in the studio before - crazy cool dirty fuzzy amp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jussi_k Posted February 26, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2007 Ok, I have it now, I'm happy. Really nice condition, from second owner since bought new in 1973 (as old as me...!) and recently serviced with some new caps etc. I paid 350 euros and the seller brough it to my door from another city. Now I just need to wait until next week before I get to take it to the rehearsal space, hook it to a 4x12 cab and really crank it. Anyway, it sounded nice already played - at low volume - with my Laney LC30 combo's single 12" Celestion. Oh, and that Music City looks lovely too.

I was looking into that earlier but it was way too expensive for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jussi_k Posted March 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2007 Congratulations and welcome to the club! Your Klipp's tolex looks super clean too. But I can't see what was the problem if you had the ohm-selector on 4 and the cab is a 4 ohm cab? just as long as you don't turn on the amp without having a cab connected to it. So hopefully you just burned out a bad old tube, as said above. Apparently the Klipp uses really high plate voltage, which is really hard on the power tubes and requires them to be more durable type, EHX E34Ls or maybe KT77s(?) instead of normal EL34s were recommended on Plexi Palace vintage amp forum. Go there and use the search function. And anyhow, Sir H C probably know everything about these amps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Looseygoosey Posted March 6, 2007 Members Share Posted March 6, 2007 i just found out that when it was turned to 8 ohm on the amp. i don't know how that happened. so the amp at 8 and the cab at 4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Looseygoosey Posted March 6, 2007 Members Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've now send it to a place where they will repair it. they said it ain't broken. but i might have been a tube or something. I am just really affraid it can't be fixed. i really hope i can. but i guess so. By the way. i can plug a cable into both of the channels and then switch between 'em with some sort of an A/b box, right? what would you recommend for that use?

Members jussi_k Posted March 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 Bump What? Yes, any normal A/B Y-signal divider box will do nicely. Note also, when you got your amp back and working, that the 2 channels are interconnected. Try opening up the volume (past 5 or higher) of the other channel at the same time when you are playing into the other channel and you will see what I mean.
