Hacker radio guitar amp.wmv

My second hacked radio into a guitar amp. This one is appropriately made by Hacker from 1966. British made, built like a battleship - fabulous. It's very loud when turned up and overdrives beautifully for that cool distortion. The camera mic doesn't do the sound justice but you get the idea.

Thanks folks. Yeah it takes two 9volts in series but it will run at 9 with slight loss of volume. Harp - I reckon it would be good too, must try it, maybe post another vid.

Sounds really great! Powered at 18v, it could be somewhere between 10 and 15 v. That crunch tone you get is awesome. I've had good luck converting old reel-to-reel tape players too. I have a 1960's Conrad that sounds really great with my CBG. I bet your little Hacker would sound really sweet for harp too!
