d-basser Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yup I just picked up a practically mint EBS Fafner for a meer 500 of our british pounds, I say practice amp cause neither of my bands are currently gigging but this wasnt really a deal i could pass up on. Only ickle prob, the bulb that iluminate the tube is gubbed, any idea how i can replace this? Also what are the exact power ratings, 600W-2ohms, 440W-4ohms ??? but all in all, OH YEAH!!!

With a 2 ohm load, it delivers 600w. With a 4 ohm load, it delivers 440w. What this really means, if you are running the head with 2x 4ohm cabs, you will get 600w. If you are running the head with 2x 8ohm cabs, you'll get 440. Of course, this also means you can run 4x 8ohm cabs to get 600w. As for replacement bulbs, give Bernie a call at GB guitars (EBS distributor). He'll be able to get one in for you. (If he hasn't already got one) Edited February 4, 2008 by EBS_freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I wonder if those bulbs blowing is a common occurence as I remember contemplating buying a Fafner 12-18mths ago and the 2 that I was thinking of getting both had blown bulbs! IIRC the bulb doesn't do anything and is just for show, so it didn't put me off but I wonder if they modded the later Fafners? Congrats to both of you, very nice Christmas pressies!
