Rare, 2001, hand-wired 1x12 single channel, non-master volume combo guitar amp. 100% stock. Tubes are all stock Russian types as spec'ed by Jeff Bober, Budda's R&D. Sovtek 12AX7WB in V1 and twin Sovtek EL84's.

This amp has the same circuit as the recent 10th Anniversary Twinmaster, but with a 3-spring Accutronics reverb added.

Recorded with the built-in mics on my camcorder.

Settings are from left to right:
Reverb Mode - Sand
Reverb Level - 0
Bass - 9:30
Treble - 2:00
Volume - 3:00

The guitar was plugged into the High Gain input; it's a 2002 Epiphone Elite (Japan) Les Paul Standard Plus with uncovered Seymour Duncan '59 Model Humbuckers.

The guitar was plugged straight into the High Gain input with a 15' George L's cable. No effects of any kind were used. The clean tones were done with the guitar volumes at around 1 to 1 1/2 and the most distorted tones were with the guitar volumes wide open.

  • What is that cheesey crackling sound , when the gain is jacked up...It almost sounds like a blown speaker...

  • @MrBluesilverred I think it's digital clipping from the camcorder. It does sound like a blown speaker! It was SO loud for that cheesy consumer-grade 10-year-old camcorder...

  • Man, the feedback control is awesome. Why don't you make a clip doing Third Stone from the Sun, that would be nice!

  • @EuphorbusBTB Yeah! Too bad I don't have the chops :(. But a Strat does feedback beautifully with this amp. You can get right up to it and do the Jimi trem bar feedback thing easily. Fun to do occasionally...then I come back down to earth...and reality!

  • the feedback section was a little surprising and great!

  • @AFColonel73 Yes, this amp definitely has a nice feedback characteristic. It's easy to get it and *control* it with my guitar's volume knob.

  • Let the guy play how he wants to play. If it sounds like music to him, then it is music.

    If it doesn't sound like music to you, then go listen to something that you like.

  • Music isn't about how many notes and chords you can throw into a song. Some of the best songs ever consist of just a few chords. Listen to AC/DC or Deep Purple.

  • sound is coming through pretty static like, but I can definitely tell there is a lot of warmth there minus the static. I bet it sounds wonderful.

  • Thankyou for a nice non nonsemce where we can hear the amp...

    stay well

  • @lisakn69 The amp was loud as all get out back when I did this. Earplugs were an absolute must! The volume was set to 3 o'clock with 5 o'clock being fully cranked. So it actually has more gain available than what you heard believe it or not.

  • great playing and tone! how loud was its, did you turn it up all the way on the amp?

  • @reditreefrogs tiny terror is a beast and its easy to carry and it has power scaling i'm pretty sure...
