The Amp Garage

Yes, thanks. I posted wrongly.

I have been observing for a few years, decided to get my feet wet. This will be a Bluesmaster based on Ceriatone's !00 HRM. I haven't built an amp before, and without the knowledge gained here, i would not even attempt it. My hat's off to the excellent builders here, i will send pics as it progresse...

I have a chance to get a used EV12L, tried it with a Blackface Twin, sounds great. Is this still the speaker of note for this type of cab? Or does the Bluesmaster want something more British?

Suede cab

Interesting that he waited 10 years for delivery of the amp. A lot of things can happen in 10 years.... address changes... phone number changes... etc. I like Peter's tone, playing, and I really like the wood in the background of his studio. Must be reclaimed lumber from some old barn or something....

For what's worth, i have used my 50 watt both ways. For more contemporary music i prefer post. Old time jump blues and swing pre. The Fender reverb unit is an instrument, you have to mess with it depending on volume and breakup. Just my 3 cents.

To me it looks a lot like a Bruno Super 100.

That amp looks like a bluesmaster, notice the pull bright pot.

Max, what about his earlier combo's? Were they four ohm output to eight ohm speaker?

Hmm, i'm just about to build one of those suckers. Thanks a mil.

Is that not #75? Hi Grog, the amp on the picture, which Tom (structo) has posted, that looks indeed similar to #040, is a 2nd generation "pre-classic" ODS 50W, but in a rather unusual cabinet for such a 2nd generation ODS combo. If it should really be #040, then the speaker has been changed after o...

Is that not #75?

I think Peter's amp is #153, he waited years to get it.

I wonder if they would sound anywhere close? Would a collector care?

I found a huge difference playing the heck out of it for a few days. I then retubed with my favorite glass and rebiased. Sounds fantastic. A few months of hard playing is what these things need me thinks. Greg.
