pawnshop prize thread

since there's a lot of high end gear on here i thought it'd be fun to see what everyone's guilty pleasures are, i'm talking trashy 60s cheapos and jap copies or any kind of crap you'd find in the corner of a junk shop that just begs to be brought! :D

If i've understood the thread topic - I got an epi SG with no electrics for £100 and i feckin love it.

 

I'd love an old PoS geetar with proper mojo, any time i go past a pawnshop/etc and i see a PoS i get excited but then realise "thats not mojo, thats just dust" :(

Both transformers were replaced - they were a little bigger than what you'd find in a bassman

 

I know the tubes were 2x 6L6 (rather than one 6V6) and it had a solid state rectifier

 

For all I know, it could've been a completely custom amp stuffed inside a champ chassis, but I'm not sure. I never looked inside though... I was actually glad to get that thing sold as it seemed pretty dangerous!

 

i can't remember what controls it had though. there was definitely an added master volume, and a push pull on the preamp volume I think...can't remember what that did.

 

still trying to find the pics. i sold that amp about 7 years ago, but i'll have to look and see if there are any old imageshack links around

 

 

Yeah, that was not a champ then. Sounds more like a fender bassman in a small chassis.

There are a few push pull output champs, but the vast majority are single ended 6v6, at least most of the non tweed ones.

Which KnT did I buy my cheap shit guitar off? It sounds amazing and I think I paid £20

 

That was me!

 

That guitar's actually pretty cool... I think it's one of those Soviet ones from the 70s, not sure though. It's got a fairly nice finish irrc!

 

My arctec analog delay pedal is 10x better than the DL4, I sold the DL4 because I just wasn't using it - the arctec has a really nice sound and a fucking crazy oscillation noise.

 

Cost me a tenner :)
