This isn't my amp - just a photo I found via Google Image Search. The top amp is what the owner's manual describes as being a Series 6 GP7. The bottom amp is like the one in my combo - note the addition of the DI output. I'm guessing the Series 6 range was revised at some point, but the TE site doesn't have the revised specs.

And whilst looking for that, I just spotted this: [quote]GP7 - All specifications are identical to those for the GP12 Pre-Amp except for the Equalisation:- +/- 15dB at 7 centre frequencies. [b]The GP7 has no DI output.[/b][/quote] This amp is clearly Series 6, so I have the correct owner manual. It's also very clearly a GP7 (both these are printed on the front panel). But this amp has an XLR DI output section on the front, so again doesn't match the spec in the manual. I'm pretty sure it's the same width, but I'll do some measuring and try and take some photos today.

Vinyl covered, metal grill, no red stripes, and none of those funny sound ports. It basically looks like like a Series 6 715 should, but with an extra output and I'm sure it's more than 100W.

Humping my fairly hefty Trace Elliot combo into the car last night, I thought that perhaps I'm getting a bit old for this and should look at replacing it with something lighter. So I figured I should work out what I've got first - I bought it 15 years ago and so the tech spec is a bit, err, hazy. But I can't find any record of it on the TE site. It's proper pre-Gibson stuff, a Series 6 GP7, 15 inch combo. Downloading the owners guide for Series 6, they only list one 7-band 15" combo, the cleverly named 715. That's rated at 100W, which sounds low, and it's listed as [i]not[/i] supporting an additional speaker. My amp has two speaker outputs. The model number inked on the label at the back says either 7155 or more likely 715S (S for the additional speaker support, perhaps?) - but I can find no record of either model. Anyone have any knowledge of a TE 715S combo, and if so, what its power rating might be?
