NOW SORTED, THANKS (WTB hand-wired 20W-ish combo)

dickieguitar · November 2013

Nearly inconsolable having just missed out on a Traynor YGM-3 on this here forum... don't suppose anyone else has got one that's being underused?

Will consider other, broadly similar hand-wired combos. Not that I can think of any.

Edit: Cornford Hurricane!

dickieguitar · November 2013

...or maybe a Cornford Hurricane.

dickieguitar · December 2013

Bump. Probably not a Hurricane, just tried one and it was too buzzy.

dickieguitar · December 2013

Dr Z Ghia?

StringEmil · December 2013

Does it have to be hand-wired?

I've got a Cornford Roadhouse 30 combo for sale - not hand-wired, but sweet nonetheless!

chillidoggy · December 2013

Hurricane "buzzy"? Really?

hotpickups · December 2013

Hurricane was never buzzy when I had one. Must have been faulty

dickieguitar · December 2013

Certainly more buzzy than any of my other amps, especially with the reverb turned up. The seller took it to his tech, who said there was bound to be some noise because the output tubes are too close to the speaker; he felt it to be "acceptable". I didn't, so here I still am.

Incidentally, it was possibly the most gorgeous-sounding amp I've ever heard...

StringEmil, sorry, yes, I don't like PCBs.

AlexHunter · December 2013

I took it to the man who is now my amp tech, he puzzled over it and found 3-5 design flaws (in his opinion) which were making it buzz and hum, he changed the design and it was silent. Just that lovely pure tone and no buzz at all.

Fusionista · December 2013

Still regretting selling my Cornford Hurricane. So I tried building a couple something like using the Ampmaker PP18 kit. One of them is fettled with a G12M and set up like a Baby Bluesbreaker, the other as a Tweed with a Blue. The Cornford has a V30 as standard and a spring reverb.

Replied...

ZenOvertone · December 2013

I have an EVA (made by Chris Uff) 18w combo that I may shift, 2 EL84's handwired in decent handmade ply cabinet with just vol/tone on each channel which if course can be jumpered.
Located in Kent, looking for £300.

dickieguitar · December 2013

That sounds promising, though I had big earth-hum problems with an 18w EVA head... what's the speaker(s)?

A_T_W · December 2013

Any interest in a Cornell Romany? At 10W it's a bit less than what you were looking for, but thought it'd be worth mentioning. Also switches down to 2W and 0.25W, so pretty good for a practise amp

dickieguitar · December 2013

Sorry, love Cornells but need more headroom.

bigfuzz · December 2013

DRRi?

dickieguitar · December 2013

Sorry, I already have two vintage Fenders and need something a bit more British-ish. Or at least less, y'know, Fendery.

chillidoggy · December 2013

Cornford Roadhouse 30 combo. The head I have is superb, the downside is there's no reverb.

Fusionista · December 2013

If I didn't already have far too many amps I fancy the Roadhouse.

ZenOvertone · December 2013

The speaker in the EVA is a vintage Celestion G12M with black magnet cover, there's no hum, it's pretty good but I just don't use it these days and am getting moaned at!!

paulads · December 2013

Any pics of the EVA combo ?

dickieguitar · December 2013

Where in Kent, Zen? This sounds very possible.

EDIT: PM incoming.

crunchman · December 2013

I have a Fargen Blackbird that is based on, but not a clone of a Deluxe Reverb. Unlike a DR it does have a mid control so you can more mids than the typical Fender style amp.

It currently has a Weber 12F150 speaker which is a bit more Fenderish, but for years I have had a Celestion in there - which I've still got and am thinking of putting back in.

With the mid control and the Celestion it is a bit more "mid-Atlantic" rather than pure Fender. If you're interested I can get some pics. I'm in West London.

dickieguitar · December 2013

Interested in seeing pix and a price, yes!

dickieguitar · December 2013

This is the 20W version? Can't find much info about it - 6V6s?

daddyash · December 2013

Bad cat classic cat. 20 watts handwired one tone,one volume. Sounds mega. Hammered white vinyl covering.
It comes with a bad cat celestion vintage 30 but I swapped it for a greenback, but have the original still so can put it back in

dickieguitar · December 2013

Fargen and Bad Cat both sound wonderful but probably too expensive... prices???

ThePrettyDamned · December 2013

There is an mjw half stack on here for a bargain price. 50 watts, but that'll be 50 really good sounding watts.

Not a combo, but so affordable it's worthy of consideration.

JCA2550 · December 2013

I've got a Traynor YGM-3 loaded with a Celestion Greenback. I had it fully serviced about a year ago. Great amp, but I really could use the space and currently it's surplus to requirements. PM if you're interested?

C.

dickieguitar · December 2013

Believe me, I've given that MJW more consideration than my own penis over the last few weeks, but it is too big for me.

The amp, I mean.
