they are so hard to get right?

my father got one of this amps but the tremolo doesn't works :(

@greenalyd - maybe you just have to stick a footswitch into the 1/4" jack next to the Power Switch that is labeled "Remote" - try it.

Wow !! ..... AWESOME amp.

Does this model have the trapezoid woofer ??

[tommymandel]

I thought it was square. But maybe trapezoidal. Approx 14" on each. (35cm?)

[tommymandel]

Excellent!

I finally got my RA-50 sent from the USA to Denmark.

I recieved it badly damaged, but after a weekend with tools, it's up and running.

It does have a 60 watt Yamaha trapezoidal "elephant ear" main speaker and a rectangular rotating speaker.

This amp actually sounds even more spacey than my RA-100 because the rotating sound mainly comes out from the sides, shifting sides as it turns.

The weight is still more than 30 kilos, and i'm happy that it on wheels.

Great amp, if you find one, BUY IT

my exact same amp is on ebay now

[PeterRosenqvist]

@adz6386 . Should be worth 100 to 200 pounds on ebay.

[PeterRosenqvist]

@greenalyd . Add a pedal switch, and it should work. Without, absolutely NO ROTOR FUNCTION.
