Dabeck Custom 50 built by David Smith in Texas
Dave does outstanding work, and was involved with a number of companies, (like Motorola, etc.) as electronics engineer/tech)
I've owned this amp for a number of years now, and it has outlasted quite a few Boutique Marshall inspired amps that have come & gone.
The amp is super punchy & articulate
It goes from the most Gorgeous Cleans, to Classic Rock, up to "old school" Hot-Rodded Marshall tones (not so much a "Metal" thing)
It has (2) Channels - Clean & Overdrive - which can be switched via the Mini Toggle on the front panel.
It also has Two Gain controls for the Overdrive Channel - "Pre" and one "Post", which allows you to really tailor the overdrive.
The Master Vol on the front panel is for the Clean Channel & the Master Vol for the Overdrive Channel is on the back.
I was never sure what the Rear Input Jack on the left hand side of back of the amp was for, but after opening up the amp to take the photos, it looks like it's connected to the Mini Toggle switch on the front to switch channels (Though I do not have a footswitch to test it)
The amp can run - EL34's 6L6's, 5881's, 6V6's, KT66's, KT88's
It currently is running JJ KT88's which sound Huge!
There is an External Bias Control - on top of the chassis
I rolled/ hand selected the preamp tubes which consist of -
V1 - NOS Yugoslavia EI ECC-83
V2 - NOS Tungsram (GT Labeled GT-7025)
V3 - TAD ECC83 WA Premium Selected
V-4 Sovtek 12AX7
V5 (Phase Inverter) - NOS Yugoslavia EI 12AX7 Gold Pin
Price - $1199 $1299
Please add $50 to help with Shipping (I'll cover anything over that), or local pickup in Oviedo FL
PayPal friends & family or add fee
