Members hbar Posted May 9, 2006 Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 Originally posted by zhivago thanks Paul!! yeah...it's meant to be 30/35...conflicting views online...I think you're right..it's 30 watts...should be just about great with a band as I use the super duper I believe the tremolo "eats up" about 5 watts, which is why you see that discrepancy. 35 wats w/o tremolo, 30 watts when you engage the trem.

Members zhivago Posted May 9, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 Originally posted by Robzilla are you buying a house in london? a one bed flat in London is achievable, I think.I still need to save all the way till the end of this year, but it's worth it...my own pad...two vintage Jazzmasters, the Tremolux, a Super Duper and me.

Members hbar Posted May 9, 2006 Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 Originally posted by zhivago I see...so if I use the normal channel only, I get 35 watts? I think you get 35 with either channel, but whenever you engage the trem is when power is diverted. At this point I can offer no evidence that this is true, but iirc, my bandmaster has a tiny drop in volume with the trem on, even with both knobs zeroed. I guess you'll find out when you take delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members iwantpedals Posted May 9, 2006 Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 Originally posted by zhivago hehe...thanks Eric...my rig's changed so much ever since I joined a band. I'm pretty much sticking to the Jazzmasters and the Super Duper...no other pedals...and now this amp should be great! congrats. i use a similar type of setup (well with some more pedals )'66 bandmaster which is very similar to that amp from what i can tell, but i dont' really know. 40 watts i think?needs new caps and i'd love a new cab for it....i also want a SHO but i just use a compressor and high volume... Mmm tasty.hope you like it, could someone point out to me the differences between our amps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zhivago Posted May 9, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 Originally posted by iwantpedals hope you like it, could someone point out to me the differences between our amps? I think the main difference is that the Tremolux has a tube rectifier, and the Bandmaster has a soild state one.which means the Bandmaster (which has a bit more power too) stays clean more.

Members hbar Posted May 9, 2006 Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 The Bandmaster is 40W, and you're right, it does have a solid state rectifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Teahead Posted May 9, 2006 Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 Beautiful amp, John!I hope everything works out with the 110v/230v conversion, if anyone can help you, Tre can. Let us know what you do and how you do it. I'd be keen on a US amp with the exchange rate being what it is and all...Best of luck mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
