Never really understood how bad my timing is until I tried recording some playing on video.. Anyway,this is what a -64 Selmer Zodiac amp sounds through a 12" Eminence Texas Heat, played with a Gretsch G3156. Effects used: EH Holy Grail and Menatone Dirty Blonde

  • Hmmm... there's no way I'd cannibalise my two Selmer Zodiacs... did yours meet with a horrible accident to make you resort to that?

  • Don't worry, I looked for a genuine croco-box for a quite a while but I guess they are long gone. I found this amp on the net and it was totally destroyed, the box was gone and the circuit was messed up pretty bad but one of my friends managed to save the amp. I guess this would be a 2000€ amp with the right speakers and the original croco-cab..

  • Nice sound. Selmer weren't shy about writing their name on their amps!!

    Those letters must be 6 inches high!!

  • We'll actually that's just me bragging with my Selmer.. The actual amp-part is from a Selmer Zodiac 2x12 combo but I made the wood-work and tolex-work by myself =)

  • Hi there, I wonder if you can help me! I see you're using a texas heat speaker. Do these give off hiss? Also could I play bedroom volume with it? I'm using a 40w fender blues deluxe..

  • I guess I'm already late, but anyway: Some hiss comes through the Texas Heat but it has pretty much rolled-off high treble. For bedroom volumes I guess it's OK but I think that some low-watt alnicos are much much better.

  • Your timing isn't all that bad. Just practice.

  • Fairy Nuff! So my two must be worth a packet, then... not that I'd even consider selling them - or my original Selmer Clavioline 'Concert'...!

    Incidentally, that hum can be reduced by fitting a gain cntrol on the output stage, a mod I've done to mine. There's still loads left, so it doesn't affect the overall welly.

  • A very nice amp :)

  • hahaa Arfer has such a good point there..

  • Hey CharlieUG, thanks alot for your thoughts and impressions of the DB, the info helped a lot.
