That?s a great piece of equipment.
Makes the 260 redundant, no? :wink:

 

[Emiel]

Jacco, what a lovely amplifier!! We need to get together a.s.a.p.

 

[marcusnieman]

Real nice.... don't let any harp players see it. They'll try to steal it!

 

[jacco]

Thanks guys, I do have a few other old amps besides the Magnatone 260 Felix is referring to (no chance mate ). Do have a large arsenal ot tubes, so I always try to mate them with period correct and great sounding tubes. Will post some pics later when interested.

@Emiel check your mail man, it's your move :wink:

@Phantom would love to hear a clip of your Plexi, do you maybe have one? The only 'plexi' I own is a Mojave Plexi45, do you know that one?

 

[felixcatus]

(no chance mate ).

It was worth a try.

 

[Phantom]

Jacco here's a clip of one of my Plexi's

[jacco]

Man, that sounds mighty fine, super nice playing too!!
What tubes have you got in there?
Cheers!

 

[Phantom]

oops thought you were posting about something else

Power Tubes are Westinghouse Premium
Made in Holland EL34's NOS

preamp tubes are newer Electro-Harmonix 12AX7A

 

[jacco]

So, Philips EL34s? Nice, very woody!!
Got some Mullard Xf2s in mine, very nice too, creamy, less woody than the Philips though.

 

[Phantom]

Nice, Ive some of those as well
I really have to get out my collection and test them all on my tube tester
and try them out in all my amps
in my spare time
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggg

 

[jacco]

Yeah I know, it's very time consuming. Fun and worth it though.
Tip of the day: 70s Matsushita EL34s, best of both worlds; both the creamy mids of the the Mullard and the woodiness of the Philips.
