Amp Score at a Flea Market

[fritzreiser]

The wife surprised me with an amp she bought at a flea market this weekend. I was hoping for something like a Roland Microcube or similar.

So I go down to the basement and see an almost new THD Univalve sitting on top of my Genz Benz. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

She said they had it for sale for $50 and she beat them down to $35. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Er, I have a univalve, and let me say they're great amps! Congratulations!

..I got mine for £450 including a custom made 2x12 that the amp head slots into, inc. speakers and alll, which was a killer deal, but ..$35.. I don't think she's serious! lol.

Re: Amp Score at a Flea Market

what a great story.. major points to your wife!
Does it work? There had to have been something wrong for them to list it so low.. a cosmetic issue? I cannot believe something like that.. the people at the market would not check the going rate before selling. Thier loss, your gain. Congrats.

Re: Amp Score at a Flea Market

The only operational defect I can find is that the attenuator is a little scratchy.

Pete, the thing sounds awesome with the Ruby EL-34 that you sent me with the Twisteramp.

I might add that your Twisteramp more than holds it own against the THD with the lower gain stuff. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

tits!

Re: Amp Score at a Flea Market

Cool to hear, Fritz! Those attenuators are ALL scratchy feeling on the univalves. Mine was the same way.

FYI, their attenuator circuit and mine are eerily familiar. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] And no, they weren't the first to use it either.
