rct Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I also have a Bass V-Amp PRO. Did you ever replace the RAM buffer battery? The desktop versions have a CR2032. I never opened up the 19" PRO version and don't have a clue where it is located. You crack me up. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 You crack me up. rct My desktop V-Amps were made in 2001 and 2002, and I think I replaced the batteries circa 2009 to be safe. But whatever - at work the CR2032 in the IBM computer of a Fette tabletting machine lasted over 14 years despite of being rated only half of it. I'm not kidding.

I run it into a 2x12 Vintage Modified Bandmaster cab they call it, mic the single up in the Prince Tone, one for the two on the bottom, and take the DI also. Can be made to sound Yuge. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had them open, and I've never used them as clocks so I probably would not be aware of any battery issues would I? rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 What tubes do you have in there? I'd have to check since it is something I don't think about :( I had the amp overhauled in 2000 or 2001 and some of the tubes were refreshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Some lovely stuff shown so far! Here - it's a 10-yr old pic but anyway: On left - Fender Vibro Champ (with Weber 8"speaker), Park MV100 (Trainwreck mod), Fender Dual Showman (135w, modded to pentode from ultra-linear). On right - Fender Super 60, Fender Twin II. Both Rivera designs. Sold the Aerodyne Strat on right shortly after buying it! Looked great but too light, didn't get along with the narrow neck radius. Not shown - Roland Micro-Cube, Vox AC10 amp head in homemade box...another story. OK Dub? Must update my amp pics sometime. Regards to all!

rct Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 ...Fender Dual Showman (135w, modded to pentode from ultra-linear)... Awesome! You could put three LPBs in front of my SF DS back then and not even crack it. Gawdamm that was loud and clean. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Dual Showman - @Dub - sometime I am going to take the Park out on a gig with an A/B switch so I can use it just for the solos. It has that grainy rough British sound. The Vox AC10 is the thickest-sounding amp ever but I daren't take it on a gig as it is prone to blow components - I spent lots to get it working (completely refurbished by Dave Petersen who I mentioned in the other thread) but now it's spitting and popping and hissing again. Has to see 8 ohms. Old, fussy but irreplaceable. As rct says, the silver-face Dual Showman is possibly the loudest cleanest Fender valve amp ever. At the end of that period they uprated the Twin to 135w and withdrew the Dual Showman. The Twin II was designed to compete with Boogies and Dumbles and....yup....it sure does IMO. 3-stage cascading gain on the drive channel. Very under-rated but again a bit fussy, you need spare fuses - if you ever see one for sale (it was available as a head, too) just get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dual Showman is insane :0 Never knew they threaded the bolts right into the chassis like that rather than using nuts Seems like Vox amps are like that.. I'm looking at the schematic and that seems like a cool little amp. How's the tremolo sound on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Farnsbarns Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 How's the ol' Supersonic doing anyway? I love those things. I love it too. It's a noisey amp though. I keep meaning to do a recap in the power supply. You modded one didn't you? If I remember rightly let me know what you did and what you achieved.
