eggs Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I have been hellishly busy recently, & I just realised that I hadn't updated my signature with this $150 piece of valvey goodness, scored in early October whilst weekending with Mrs Eggs in regional New South Wales. As an act of absolution I just spent some quality time with these two late 90's Korean Bad Boys this afternoon. Freakin' awesome...

LSAR Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Belated HNAD! You don't really see those that often (I don't, anyway). I've always liked the looks of them though, and it's good to hear that you like yours. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNick Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I have only seen two other Electar 30 tube amps in my area. I used to have the 10 watt version for a couple of years. Nice find you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed2 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Great amps, but then I'm partial to EL84s. If you ever get a chance to hook up an extension cab with a 12, do it. It'll really open it up. And the combination of a 10 and a 12 gives a nice "fullness". Those two look like they're made for each other. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 HNAD !!! It's nice to hear about you getting new equipment Stu, rather than having to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys... & for clarification, this amp is loaded with 2x EL84 & 2x 12AX7 and a 12" Electar speaker. She needs a bit of a clean, but Happy New (Old) Amp Day indeed I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Thanks guys... & for clarification, this amp is loaded with a 12" Electar speaker. An Electar amp with an Electar speaker?! Hush your mouth! I don't know anything about these amps, but a tube amp for THAT price has GOT to be cool just because. Anything "cheap" about it would even be a plus as it means UPGRADE!

eggs Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 I don't know why, but I thought that those came with 10s. I like it even more, now. I think the Tube 20 was 10" loaded & the Tube 10 was 8" loaded... Actually, who's the 'maroon' (to quote Bugs Bunny) that comes up with that sorta stuff anyway But now you've got me wondering whether I could stack it onto my Vox V112 (12") cabinet also? & don't ya just love 'chook heads' But my real point with this thread, & why I posted it in 'Electrics', was just how awesome it is when you match up the right amp with the right geet... & my 'Tupelo Honey' is one very right geet ... We were making noises yesterday afternoon that would make a preacher's wife blush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Eggs, I get the impression YOU could make a preachers wife blush just with your personality (not that you would...with respect to Mrs Eggs as well. Knowing your good nature, you would likely not even give her cause to give you a beating whether she would give them or not). Me thinks: MORE speakers usually means more volume per turn of the knob...less amp "tone" per decibel. But sometimes, 2 DIFFERENT speakers together makes it more "full". It's ALWAYS worth it to try DIFFERENT speakers whenever possible anyway. As in WHICH 12" is better. With 2 different speakers, one is usually better (per taste) than the other. Also...going the other direction, sometimes a smaller speaker, or a less powerful one, results in more amp "tone" per decibel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait right there steiny... I gotta call Mrs Eggs in to read this I know 'Honey's mad as hell at me for callin' her a 'Boy'... But she's absolutely fine 'bout been called 'Bad'... That is what her tramp stamp says after all & this is kinda 'the nasty' that we were aiming for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRGLUIQPhsc Gibby 335 through an Electar Tube 30 with No Effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
