I have rebuilt this wonderful old German amp.
Here are some pics that show what it looked like before I put my soldering iron in it:
This is not the correct way to replace a fuse
Here are some pics from my rebuilding process:
It’s a four input, one channel amp where all four inputs sound different;
input 1: bright hi-gain, input 2: normal hi-gain, input 3: bright low-gain, input 4: normal low-gain.
The amp has the following controls: gain, master volume, treble, middle, bass and presence.
I’ve also installed a tube buffered effects loop.
The preamp tubes in this amp are ECC808 which compared to ECC83/12ax7 have lower noise, symmetric inner construction and lower microphonics but has the same characteristics as the ECC83/12ax7 (different pinout).
For this amp project, I’ve focused to get extreme dynamics and tons of attack in the sound.
You can play anything just dialing the volume on the guitar.
For these two clips, I’m playing through input 1, guitar straight into the amp.
Guitar: Greco EGF-1000.
TC G-major in the loop for some delays.
Cab: Malmberg 4×12 with old Greenbacks.
Mics: Golden Age R1 mkIII, Tascam DR-40
