Amp Guts Photos - Official Thread - Lets see those pics

[Mr. Foxen]

Picked up a Bugera 1960 Infinium. Seems fine for a cheap inside:

Gather a fair collection of amp guts on my page: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.363809087058285.1073741841.351966881575839&type=3

I think it compares favourably with the moderns I've poked about in.

Here's two shots of the inside of my pawn shop find... a 1972 Kustom (Yes, silver sparkle tuck 'n' roll Naugahyde!) K-150-1 bass amp............

Much like Peaveys, some of these early SS amps still Keep On Truckin'!

Here's a shot of the interior of my Walter Woods stereo amp.

Believe it or not, the fingers in this photo belong to Walter himself.

I'm preparing to re-tube the output section and thought to post a gut-pic of my 2013 Reeves Custom 225:

Wow, that is clean!

 

[MuthaFunk]

I'm surprised it's not quite HiWatt clean but it's still some of the best work I've seen out there today. It's a nitpick but HiWatts have more thorough rope binding on the wire bundles and purple dye on each of the soldier connections to depict where they were verified by a different employee form who built the amp. Other than that, they look like the same build quality.

A tube signal generator for a tube amp, and a classic in its own right!

 

[Passinwind]

Still a DIY work in progress, but it's playable, so close enough...

 

[bassfreakah]

just got this,
nice sounding amp for 5 pounds!!!!!! Sounds good and plenty loud. I think the tone section was voiced for smaller speakers, but it sounds great flat!!!!! I have seen that power section in something else? ICE POWER, really nice for the ducks $$$$.

Yeah. That's the same poweramp as the Aguilar TH350, Genz Shuttle 6.2, Streamliner 600, GK MB500, SWR Headlite and Amplite, as well as the Eden WTX500.

It's a great module.

Nice, proven poweramp module and no SMD parts in the preamp/connector circuit boards - service- and mod-able The Rumble 350's a great deal for the price.

Wow, that looks great! Tell us more about it.

Hey Tom,

There's been an ongoing build thread here for the last few weeks as it's gone together. Yesterday at the Seattle GTG was its first real test, where I supplied a couple of rigs for Duke to showcase all his new cab designs. It was an epic GTG and I feel so lucky to have been a participant!

In short: solid state front end with my own hybrid active/passive tone stack design, variable HPF, single band fully parametric EQ, EFX loop/aux input, 500 watts@4 ohms, older style ICE module one size down from the one Jim Bergantino used in the IP series. No current plans to sell or make more, but you never know...

Still one of the cleaner signal sources around, though the output tubes are getting a little pricey.

Hiya Guts fans,

Here are two shots of the Crest CA12 that I take the effort to haul around to gigs my Reggae cover band occasionally books.

Miles of headroom and the lows just keep on keepin' on.

I had one for a while, but couldn't justify moving it across the country for a third time, so I gave it to a friend. IIRC the output is transformer coupled and isolated, which is handy for avoiding ground loops. Today I just use the audio output of my PC.
