fretless Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I scored a somewhat rare mini amp . the "Dwarf" circa '70's probaly a 75 or so . There can't be many out there and I'd bet the serial # is more accurate if you took off 2 #'s . It sounds pretty darn good , it's either battery powered or ac . It was trying to take on the pignose But I don't think they had the production down and probably couldn't keep up . Etched board and all looks like it took a while to make .The cab is a oak I believe and has some cracks here and there . I just took it apart and shot a bunch of glue in it . I'll sand it down and get it ready for the ReRanch Orange & clear that is on the way
bolero Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 hey that's pretty neat!! how does it sound, compared to the pignose?
fretless Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 hey that's pretty neat!! how does it sound, compared to the pignose? Pretty close in character with more volume , I think it's a few more watts and more gain .It has a switchable boost on the front . Not bad at all though . I'm kinda shocked these little amps sound as good as they do .
Steiner Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 That's cool! That cab looks like it took a lot of time to build. What a fun project. Keep us abreast; eh?
fretless Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 I sure will , reranch arrives during the week and hopefully I get a few coats on over the weekend . I had to take is apart when I got it because the pot wasn't working , it had pushed through the back of it's housing , I was able to put that back together and saved me from hunting down a on/off switch volume pot .
fretless Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks man , I think that cab was oak .It was pretty easy so far . I didn't even sand it yet , shot it all in one day and no runs I don't think it needed all the care you would take for a fine guitar but it worked well and should be back together tomorrow .
bolero Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 fantastic!! is that a while pignose, behind the cat? I'll have to keep an eye out for one of those....the amp, not the cat!! lol although it is a mighty fine looking cat
