From what I found, they originally had Fender branded Pyle speakers. No idea what's in it.Wow, nice! You are about to join club Twin Reverb. Welcome! That puppy should be incredibly tight and clean I can only imagine the wallop you can lay down with that bad boy. Marshall nothin.....Congrats.
What kinda speakers is loaded in there? Can recommend Tung Sols if you need tubes! Tight and clean like a good woman hahaha.
Monstrous power!!
As VonBonfire said, it probably needs new filter caps unless they look new or you know they were changed recently. If the caps that are usually under a metal cover on top of the amp chassis look like old reddish brown paper wrappings around the cap then they are original and need to be changed anyway.Good news is the amp works and it sounds great. GC even protected all the corners with styrofoam blocks, put the power tubes
in a thick shipping tube, and removed and wrapped the caster wheels.
I don't see these often, so I plan to keep it. It has the original Fender labeled Pyle speakers too, just real dusty. Even have the footswitch and owners manual!
I have two different hums to track down:
1) when the amp is on, all volume is down, nothing connected to the input.
2) when guitar is plugged into the input and the master is at 5 or higher.
I may contact a local amp tech, probably can use a new set of power tubes, and I haven't checked the preamp tubes or Active EQ tube
That sucks manUnfortunately, UPS dropped the amp, and cracked the frame and tolex. Fuck UPS
