My drummer picked up one of these recently, and my other guitarist used it at our Canada Day gig this weekend, with an open back 2x12. I ran my late '64 Bandmaster and closed back 2x12, and we were relatively matched with my volume at 3.5, and his at 3 with the master full. Mic'ed, but barely up in the mains, and just a little of him in my monitor. Great amps for outdoors, when they can turn up.

D. Ledford is a Fender stamp. This was either an assembler or QC person back in the day. Nice amp find. Congrats!

I've gotten lucky before but not this lucky. Good find.

The more powerful amp (I have a '67 blackface drip-edge transitional "50 watt" - more likely less) sounds better, the bigger iron and more power tubes gives it a more solid sound even at low volumes. I recently got an AC15CH, and wish I'd gotten the AC30CH for that reason. Nice score man!

@roncarter2188 3 месяца назад

Thank you and yes you are right about the power of the amp and I've have the tendency to really like the more powerful amps when it seems the norm for most people is to stay in the 5 to 15 watt power range. I'm part of that by me is that I live in a house where I can actually turn my amps up and enjoy the sound of a more powerful amp.

Nice find. Sounds fantastic!

@roncarter2188 Год назад

Thank you - I was happy to find that it actually works and sounds pretty good.

I recently found one of these with the original pyramid 4x12 cab. It powers up and sounds great...for about 4 minutes. It gradually starts making odd crackling noises as it gets warm. In your experience, does this point to anything?

@roncarter2188 11 месяцев назад

That could be some resistors or resistor that is going bad or is bad, I'm thinking the plate resistors for the power tubes or phase inverter.
