bolero Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 man.....I've used this amp for 10 years or so and never noticed this until a friend pointed it out...we both had a good laugh, I wonder if it was in jest @Spinal Tap!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll7rWiY5obI
kidsmoke Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 what amp is that Chris? Related question..when Eljay picked up his 357 at the plant last summer, the knobs on it went to 11. What about your new addition? Fender Champs single knob always went to 12, afaik.
bolero Posted April 29, 2013 Author Posted April 29, 2013 actually it's a GARNET, and it's been my main amp for a while Garnet's were handwired amps built from '66 or so until '80, in Winnipeg....Gar Gillies was the designer and he really had his own unique circuit ideas they are killer amps, under the radar...Lenny Kravitz has one called the BTO which is a 100w head this is a "Jammer"...a 2xEL34 powerhouse in a 1x12 combo....2 cascaded preamps that can also be used individually. the footswitch bypasses the tone stack & gives it a bit more presence/vol for leads right now I have an Eminence red fang in it, which is alnico & sounds great....but I might go back to a ceramic mag speaker...it gets really creamy but I think I want a crisper/edgier sound
Genericmusic Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I want one that goes to 13! 13 Sounds pretty dangerous. It might split atoms.
kbp810 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 13 Sounds pretty dangerous. It might split atoms. I have a team of engineering interns locked in my basement working around the clock for the past few years trying to figure out how to get an amp to 13 without facing potential atomic implications; I think we should have a breakthrough any day now. ...oh shoot, wait, do interns need food and water? Because I think we might be back to square one on this again.
kbp810 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 ^^^ One of those things that sounded funnier in my head before I posted it - sometimes I really wish that edit button hanged around a little longer. ***Note that no engineering students were harmed in the making of kbp amplifiers.

Gitfiddler Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Do you think the amp builders at Garnet were using a clock dial as reference?? Virtually ALL of the EQ dials go to 12...even the REVERB!! When they finished production of that amp, I bet they screammed..."Its ALIVE!"
tulk1 Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 The "clean" channel on my JCM900 4102 went to 10. The lead channel went to 20!!
