I'm beginning to GAS for a 'Vintage' Valve Amp, but not sure what it is I'm looking for, or what I'm looking at, at this stage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Better getting one of the ones from here, known history etc. Need more info on this one, like if it has Partridge transformers, not all of them did. There are plenty of issues SC120 MKIV can have, easily fixed if you know what you are up to and have the time and parts, but buying those things is expensive, mostly the knowing what you are up to part. They sound very 'valvey' and the preamp is very flexible, which does mean a lot of 'wrong' 'tones', rather than the all the knobs don't really do much EQ on a lot of valve amps. http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1 Edited April 11, 2012 by Mr. Foxen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks79 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 There's 2 good examples of Sound City heads on this very board, and Mr. Foxen I think has the rest of them that were ever made Search the for sale section for Pow_22's (top bloke to deal with) and mine too.
