Hi
right off the get go....I am not set up for pictures yet. 12X19X14 tall cabinet dark blue tolex with rust colour grille and a big wooden treblecleff logo ,gold paint edges, over cloth. chicken head knobs with red metal "factory" printed control panel at top back, hinged panel at back. gold paint lines and notes on upper front tolex......
Had the amp in to tech since March 7/07 for whatever it needed.
finally got it back but need assistance with a few things.
guestimated wattage 15W currently has 2 GT6V6C and 5Y3GTA rectifier.
new Weber 8" alnico sig series "champ" speaker. apparently this amp is a "55 tweed delux style."is bright sounding, works best with rosewood stratocaster or other darker sounding guitars"
because of the time delay and having to go through L&M for the repairs I am unable to have the tech answer and/or clarify for me.(doesn't return messages). did get some info with the bill.
it was suggested that "a 12" speaker really sounds great with this amp". new 8" is attached to the output transformer. don't know speaker ohms but is a 15W. how do I go about wiring this thing to a jack so that I can run a seperate 12" speaker. I would like the option of using both seperately if doable.( I will find out ohms later) ( must always have speaker load at all times)
I am learning bass guitar very slowly but have acquired a collection of guitars and amps over the past few years. the tech's description, following, needs to be put into grade school english for me please, I do not capice......
these are the current controls left to right: (as "originally labeled")
mike jack.....1st guitar pot 1-10....2nd guitar pot 0-10.....brilliance pot 0-10.....tone pot 0-10.....1st guitar jack....2nd guitar jack.
("quotes" from repair bill)
"the controls are very interactive, even changing the volume setting of the unused channel can greatly affect the sound (?). guitar 1 and 2 jacks feed the 1st vol control (guitar pot 1) and is stock triode channel from deluxe. Guitar 2 jack has slightly less gain" (ok I think I understand that I plug guitar into #1 guitar jack and control vol with guitar pot 1, don't think I need to use #2 guitar jack...?)
"Mike imput feeds 2nd channel and is pentode channel with more drive, fatter tone." (for mike or guitar or both???) (originally wanted to use for mike with mike imput adapter) (sounds like better for blues type guitar?)
"Brilliance control works on both the guitar and mike (channels?) (mike jack/guit 2 pot...guit 1 +2 jack/guit 1 pot.) (once sorted out i,m getting a label maker...LOL)
"The tone/on control only works on the mike channel" (haven't plugged in yet or messed with) ( really lost me on this)
any and all help is very much appreciated.
