@Trace- The 250. At practice today it seemed to have more umph. I played with it some and its doing well. :) -Luke

Very good. If you have the EQ sliders under -0- it will cut the volume as you know...

I was playing with my 2x12 today and added my 1518 and it made a good bit of difference in volume....

250 watts at 4 ohm is only 250 watts at 4 ohm.. if you are at 8 ohm, you'll get less wattage, btw. You knew that too though right? :D

Inside of my AH1200SM .. :cool:
Clean, how a 17 year old amp should look. Not all rusty inside like many I've seen... :eek:
Yes, all the QC stickers match for 1994

I was really surprised at how the innards of mine appeared also...basically as if it had been made last week, rather than in '94. The only real 'age' showing are the QC stickers which are a little yellow'd and not completely stuck down.

And has anyone else noticed that it appears as if only one person did the hand-written serial numbers, etc for the various amps pictured? A very distinctive handwritng style, there...

Both my cabs are 8 ohms making it a 4 ohm impedance for the amp. I ran my effects rack as a pre-amp and it sounds good. I tune BDADGC, ADADGC and ADGDGC. The low A even sounds great. The GP7SM 250 just took longer to fine tune than I expected. -Luke

I was gonna suggest that would be the case. Between the preset, the graphic EQ and the blending of the two it may take a while to to get it dialed in...

All of the QC stickers in mine are obviously by the same hand, as well.
Yeah, clean as a whistle inside. Same as my other AH1200SM. Not even a hint of rust or oxidation on the toroidal coil hat. :D
I have not cleaned the inside of this one except for Air-In-a-Canning outing some seed hulls from the electrocuted-now-mummified resident mouse that was storing food not living in it as there were no droppings or smell just some seeds. Maybe he had JUST barely moved in:cool:

Anyway, having looked inside a number of different amps, I have to say that TE gear is clean, neatly laid out, the wiring is neat and well routed with vibration dampening hot glue applied where it should be - and not all crammed together. I have never seen the dust accumulation in TE amps like I have in some others...:eyebrow:
