Re: Fender Super Six Reverb

A+!

Re: Care to have a look at this schem?

Re: Mesa Boogie Good Deal?

Hi All, I wouldn't let go my MKIIA Boogie (note : restored/improved) despite its anvil weight and despite that I have 8 other vintage tube amps... If you search : - pure clean tone, - deep and toneful reverb, - smooth and sustained overdrive à la Santana, - the same sound at any level, to cut throug...

Hi All, Sorry, I didn't found the "welcome section" of this forum, so here's my 1st post - if there is a welcome section that I didn't saw, please direct me - Thanks ! If you are breaking-in speakers on 50 or 60Hz, the Z may be higher than the nominal 4, 8 or 16 ohms, due to Fs which is very close. ...
