Permalink "1/2 Pint" AMP - Single Channel AB763 Super Reverb

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

Here is a new amp I made:
Single Channel 2x 6L6 AB763 Combo Amp with 40 watts of power. Based on the second channel of a Fender® Super Reverb (AB763 circuit) It has that MOD spring reverb and opti-roach tremolo. I added a Tremelo shut off option for a real jump in gain! Originally I had 4x8" speakers in it, but now I have a 1 x 15" Ceramic (75watt)speaker, I put the 4x8" in a matching ext. cab, when I play them together, it is something to hear.

I didn't want any more amps until I saw these. Very, very nice.

Looks like a great rig for small - med sized venues, which is mostly what I play.

Is this an amp for working musicians or priced more towards yuppies and such?

This will be a working man's amp, was designed for a friend of mine who works 4 night a week every week. This is the prototype and I am hand build them with lots of customizing but I have chassis being made and cabs so I will get the price down. Stay tune. I have some great sound clips coming this thing really roars and like it's bigger brother it has headroom for miles!

Great idea! Ideal for all those who find Deluxes are not enough amp and Supers are too much amp and hard to lug around, which would be the majority of guitarists nowdays.

Awesome, keep me updated. I've always said a "mini-Super Reverb" would be a great rig. I've been searching for another amp at a decent price for awhile now.

How about a head version with good onboard reverb?

Funny - if someone made a piggyback Deluxe Reverbish head with 6V6 that could tilt back, I know there'd be a market...

I have had several inquiries on a head version with onboard reverb tank, I have contacted my cab guy to see the coast on a head version. I will let you know.

Very nice idea. The intersection of sufficient power and reasonable portability. What would the weight be in the two different speaker form factors?
