Is there such a thing brand new

BAMF · « **Reply #1 on:** August 07, 2009, 10:21:37 AM »

My JCM-18watt cost about $120 dollars.

My AX84 P1-SEL set me back by about $80.

No I don't think there is such a thing until China steps up to the plate.

qwi · « **Reply #13 on:** August 08, 2009, 12:07:06 AM »

what is the model of that 5W amp? i checked the site and I cant seem to find that 5W tube head.

Jaco D · « **Reply #14 on:** August 08, 2009, 02:56:13 AM »

Wasn't there a forumite here who had access to a supplier/manufacturer in China who did tube amps? if I remember correctly, he (or erpats niya - can't remember) could source them from the mainland and sell them here.

Ano na kaya nangyari doon?

Bai, is the rep based in PRC? Doesn't look like they have dealers or similar outlets.

Si machinehead. I think he gave up, sobrang busy ata sya sa work. Sayang ano. Who wants to form a company, lets bring Chinese amps to the Philippines!

i thought you hated tube amps? Hahahaha! dad-a na dinhi dumaguete. I'm sure people are interested sad.

markv · « **Reply #18 on:** August 08, 2009, 08:47:26 PM »

This amp is all-tube and more expensive than a vox pathfinder.

ironically... the vox pathfinder ($120) is solid-state and sounded more tube-ish than the peavey royal.

i tested this thing but personally i thought only as a practice amp..the voicing wasnt my plate at all

Just sharing coz' i haven't found a solid-state amp that sounded as tube-like as the vox pathfinder.

I use it differently than others. You should try it with the boost switch engaged, gain at almost zero and set volume to your taste. I get more body, warmth, glassiness & tube-ish sound this way.

it all depends with the design of the innards of the amp, but hopefully in the near future ill have to save for the following amps, im hopefully to own (getting a house which mean a basemeant for a studio)

1. coolidge 100 watt head <- dying to own this one
2. blackstar 100watt head
3. more chinese tube amps

demoboi · « **Reply #22 on:** August 09, 2009, 05:48:58 PM »
