It would be great to just the amp with it's own crunch.

@spentonmediocrity first 30 seconds were all amp.

What is the tube complement and speaker in this?

[NS10Fan]

@MrAmptech 2x 6v6s for the main power section. Couple of funky tubes (6sc7 and 6sq7) and a standard rectifier (forget model offhand) complete it. The speaker seem to be the original 10". I'm pretty sure most of the amp is original and beat (hell, it's 50-odd years old). Been meaning to get it fixed up, but other projects always find their way to the top of the list. :-)

Awesome. Is this the amp with one knob on the top? What are the pedals you're switching on/off? What guitar?

Thx

@intrsoul

@intrsoul This amp has 3 inputs in the back (2 for guitars I think, and one for mic). I'm using the mic input cause it seems to clip a bit harder. Two knobs from there (Vol and Tone). I'm pretty sure Volume was cranked and Tone was probably 3/4.

I forget which pedals are on where, but I'm using a Xotic EP Booster throughout most. Others that might be on occasionally are a Catalinbread DLS, Jetter Gain Stage Gold, and a custom Uncle Ernie's Colordrive+.

Guitar is my 72 thinline RI.

Would love to see the other side of this amp. I have a chassis and cabinet remnants that I am trying to identify. Does this cabinet have piping? my chassis sits towards the top of the cabinet with the tubes hanging down. Thanks

Yes I have the 2 input 1 volume knob and I love it,smaller ovoid spkr....when used in tandem w my 1-10 Supro,running stereo FANTASTIC TONE.....

@NS10Fan Sweet - sounds terrific. I have a chance to get the 1 knob / 2 input version from a guy in town for cheap. I'm new to this era of amps, but I think I'm hooked ;-)
