Ah, actually I started way back last quarter of 2010 lang. Yup, surprisingly, puro local purchases lang ako. No overseas transactions (for now). Siguro ang key is I travel a lot. Meron ako mga experiences na while driving, may nakikita akong electrical shops na may Fender logo. Titigilan ko yun and makikita ko sa loob ng shops yung pile of Head amps. Di nila ginagalaw kasi wala sila idea pano gawin haha! So in short halos stock pa. Dinala lang daw ng owner para pagawa kaso walang tubes. Yung bandmaster ko naman nakita ko sa isang rehearsal studio (buti di nakita ni Chino kasi malapit sa house nila to haha), ginagawa lang patungan ng gamit. Tinanong ko kung gumagana and they said hindi na. I asked kung pwede bilhin, hindi daw kasi mawawalan sila ng patungan. hahahaha! I offered na lang palitan ng bass amp na pwede patungan, ayun pumayag. Pagdating ko sa house, busted lang pala isang tube. The rest untouched.

Pero karamihan sa old musicians ko nakukuha. Nakakalibang talaga. Yung thrill ng hunting ang nagbibigay kulay dito. Bukod sa tone of course  I think marami pa dito.

 

Applicable din pala yung ganyan dito? Good to know...

@teleclem

Congrats!!  That's a nice amp.  Is that one listed at the classifieds (from musicjunkie, IIRC?).  Been eye-ing that one!  Good to know it goes to a good home with lots of pedal friends.

Lagi ko to sinisilip. Congrats bro! Keeper amp 

[free2rock]

Oooohh... Sparkly.

[teleclem]

Thanks guys! Only really digging into it now lang. I got it a few days ago tapos I just checked it lang at home tas deretso na sa gig (just a solo type thing, not with the band).

I'm reading about a 3 prong mod.. How does one go about that? Do you guys use a step-down transformer for your 110 amps?

Yes, that's the one (good guy to deal with, btw).

Yes, that's the one (good guy to deal with, btw).

You replace the two prong cord with one with three, and have the third prong ground to chassis, but it's only beneficial if your home wiring is properly grounded (the third round prong if inserted will actually goes to earth).  Otherwise, just disconnect the death cap (0.047 from the fuse side accdg. to BF vibro champ schem), and maybe replace the power switch with a DPDT that lifts both AC and GND lines.  Suggest you talk this over with Mang Raul or whoever's your tech.

Thanks. Yeah, it'll probably be best to have him check it out.

@echo_ikaw: Thanks Dex!

Thanks Bro! Enjoy that little guy. It is really awesome for fender cleans, just add a bit of verb and chorus and you got your sparkle!
