Sold!

Up for sale is a Fortin Cali -- the arsholl -- hand wired by Mike himself. I bought this amp from a user here on Rig Talk over a decade ago and it has been in my possession ever since. This has been well taken care of, never gigged, but i'm just not playing as much these days and I could use the...

I've been out of the music gear game for almost a decade and have no idea what it's like these days. I'd love some help figuring out what this little guy might go for. Delete if not allowed :) Not trying to price gouge, just trying to determine a fair price. I know Fortin has a 3 channel Cali so...

Been awhile since i've posted on this forum regularly, but when I did there were tons of Fortin modded Marshalls floating about. I can't seem to find much about them now on here or in the classifieds. Did they lose popularity or did he just stop doing the mods or something else? I still have an...

the mosvalve is powered in a rack setup by a furman pl-8 power conditioner. I accidentally left the mosvalve switch in the on position when i turned the furman off the last time i was playing. So, today i turned on the furman and the mosvalve made a quick pop noise as it turned on (it always...

I finally sold my mesa boogie bass 400+....now i have to ship the damn thing :lol: :LOL: here's a picture of the beast: I'm planning on labeling the tubes/sockets, pulling the tubes and wrapping them all up separately to avoid damage. I also came across this nice post over on TalkBass.com...

A friend of mine took his 5150 II to a tech within the past year to have it serviced. Apparently the tech was supposed to get a re-tube kit from euro-tubes, re-bias the amp, and that would be it. Fast forward to yesterday, my friend wanted me to look at his amp because he said it was making some...

i don't own any microphones and i'm thinking about picking up 1 or 2 to get me started. I know the Sure sm57 is a popular choice, but what are some other ones? Are there any "must haves" when it comes to mics? I'm not looking to spend a ton on a single mic, but i'd like to get something that...

I'm working with a group here at my school and right now, we are working on prototyping this really stripped down tube circuit (see image below). The point of this circuit is 1) to show that we can actually build and analyze a tube circuit (since vacuum tubes aren't really taught in the...

I have a marshall cabinet right now that is wired up for a total 16-ohm load (four 16 ohm speakers). I really would like to implement the stereo/mono switch jack that is on a lot of the 1960 4x12 cabs so i use the cabinet in stereo, but have the flexibility to go back and forth. Obviously you...

well, actually it has been slowly creeping up on me for the last 4 or 5 months :lol: :LOL: anyways, i've been reading 'Inside Tube Amps' by Dan Torres and it's a pretty killer book, but i woke up this morning wanting more information. I did a google search on small, Class A amps -- because i...

alright, so humor me if you will. i've never actually played one of these things and i have no intention of buying one, BUT i'm really interested in hearing what people who have played these amps, particularly the head version, think about them. The idea seems like it makes perfect sense --...

i'd like to make a W/D setup using two guitar amps. I want to take the preamp signal from one and have it powered by another tube amp. This is how i'm thinking it would work. run my dry signal into the Powerball, loaded into one 4x12, and then have the EFX send going into the input of the...

Anyone have personal experience with this unit? The youtube demo and all the soundclips sound absolutely killer, but is it worth that price tag?? I currently am using a Boss RV-5 and it's not bad. I have no real problems with it, but I wouldn't mind having a reverb pedal that sounded a little...

I've had this cab for the last 5 years or so and i've been trying new speaker combinations for fun. right now, i have two 16 ohm V30's and two 16 ohm G12K-85's in an X configuration. It sounds killer! tons of bass but not too boomy. The thing that i'm wondering is, is there a way to pad the...
