Manzamp - Revisited!

[dorrisant]

Hi Roe,

for me the price of the amp on Reverb of €389,375.01 seems like real madness, I point out the .01.

$399,999.99 USD... With $1000 for shipping.

I'm sure you're kidding, but that's just the translation of $399,999.99 into euro but that's probably obvious and I'm captain obvious

Hi Dorrisant,

Jokes aside, you did a great job, well done and thanks for sharing it.

A hug, Franco

Good to see some interest in the Manzamp. Especially since the EJ amp has surfaced. Like, what in the heck is a Manzamp preamp? My impression of the Manzamp I build was the tone was in the power amp section.

Maybe HAD recycled the name for a completely different product?

I’m surprised these amps haven’t gotten more love from the group. They seem like a cool thing.

Maybe they need to be adapted to fit the Tweed Bassman chassis’s that are available?

Captain Obvious and the Unmistakables - now that's a band I would pay money to see

I have about ten files that say "Manzamp Faceplate" but only certain ones will open due to un-supported graphics software.

This one should load ok, it is a PDF file. It may or may not be the correct size.

Someone really should make one of these Manzamps. I think for anyone that builds amps the most recent one is always the best, but, after ten years, with 14 other amps at my disposal for comparison, the Manzamp really has a unique BIG sound that none of my other amps have.

What power, output and choke did you use on the amp. Could the amp be built into 5F6a chassis successfully?

Yes that is it. I did not have a picture of the front when I had the cabinet made. Got it close but not exact:
