r/GuitarAmps

A friend who is very good at applying tolex did these for me. Will be rehoming my Suhr SL-15 into this, still undecided on the speakers at the moment.

Picked up a used Orange Crush 35 RT this weekend and noticed this when I was playing today. It sounds worse on the phone video but I can definitely hear it.

Not sure what amount of buzz is normal, my previous amp was a smaller digital modeling amp.

Playing a Fender Player HH strat if it matters. The buzzing is worse when I split the coils.

I was looking for a new amp and i found this beauty for 120€ on eBay. Its a 100w fender frontman 212r with 2 channels and 2 12" speakers. Did i get a good Deal?

I'm playing through a fender bassbreaker 15 and I'd like to run the amp with an attenuator. I'm thinking of running the main speaker out to the input on the attenuator, can I desolder the wires from the speaker and connect a jack cable to it and connect it to the output of the attenuator? Will there be risks to leaving the original wires to the speaker there?

It’s in basically perfect condition, and I got the CE24 on Marketplace as well for a steal too. Feeling super lucky with the recent finds!

Cleaning out and selling a blackface Princeton non-reverb that’s been in the family/closet for years. I’ve decoded everything I can find and I think it’s all-original and never recapped — but I’d rather have this crowd try to prove me wrong than fool myself into an inflated price. Roast it if I’ve got something wrong.

What I’ve got:

• Model: Princeton-Amp AA964 (tube chart confirms), non-reverb — 4 knobs + Speed/Intensity, no reverb
• Front & back panel both FEIC “Fender Electric Instrument Co., Fullerton” badging (pre-CBS)
• Chassis stamp: VG8264

Decoded date codes (all Schumacher 606):

• Power transformer: 125P1B, 606-4-39 → 1964, wk 39
• Output transformer: 125A10B, 606-4-45 → 1964, wk 45
• Speaker: Oxford 10J4, 465-440 → 1964, wk 40 (green QC dot, matches chassis)
• Tubes: RCA
• Tube-chart “Production” stamp is over-inked/illegible, but the three dated parts all land within ~6 weeks of each other

My read: original PT, OT, and matched ‘64 Oxford; turret board looks untouched (cloth leads, dull factory solder, no added parts); original filter cap cans still in place, so it’s never been recapped. Cosmetically honest, dusty, one small tolex gouge on the bottom. Power cord is destroyed and will be replaced with a grounded 3-prong; not powering it up until it’s recapped.

Questions for you:

**1.** Anything here that says *not* original — transformers, speaker, board?
**2.** For a serviced (recap + grounded cord), confirmed-working example — what’s a realistic 2026 selling number, not a dealer dream ask?
**3.** Recap + safety check first, or is there anything you’d check before even that?

Not looking to keep it — trying to price it fairly and move it. Appreciate any expert eyes.

If you’d like photos of any other parts of it, I’m happy to load them. I am no expert.

Hey all,

Just sharing my current line up.

Revv Generator 120 w matching Revv cab (vintage 30s)

Friedman Pink Taco V2 w project cab (currently has unknown peavey speakers at the moment, cab looks like an old windsor cabinet but ive yet to open it up. Going to add casters and throw in some v30s and cream backs or green backs i havent decided yet. Recommendations more than welcome) ((older post indicates this might be a Peavey Supreme cab)

Crab Marcus 100w w hughes & kettner 212. Would like to get a mesa 212 w the grill plate or a zilla cab eventually.

Peavey 5150 212, stock and a Marshall dsl20 combo.

Quad Cortex going into an iMac w Reaper loaded up output speakers Kali Audio IN-8s and a Kali Audio WS-2 6.2 powered Subwoofer.

I picked up this 65 reissue because the price was too good to pass up. I had read everyone saying it’s too loud for bedroom use. Turns out the volume knob works just fine, and I find the tone at low volume *beautiful*. For comparison my other two guitar amps are a Blues Junior and a Tweed Princeton clone through a 1x12 greenback. I’ve over the years had Vox and Orange amps as well as a few modelers.

If you want a twin reverb, try it at a volume you’d use it at. Don’t fear the internet’s declaration that it’s “too loud.”

Ps - why do Marshall fans get to run 100 watts in their bedroom but Fender fans don’t?

This is my signal chain:

Telecaster Deluxe Vintera II
Tuner Yamaha YT-150 (needs refresh)
Big Miff Pi with Tone Wicker
Blackstar Amped 3
In the loop: Boss BF-3 (flanger but also chorus-ish and phaser-ish) and Boss DD-8

I’m planning to add a drop (maybe the Boss XS-1).

Cabsim out: Marshall Major IV.

I need to add a small speaker that:
- uses cabsim
- it is in line with Marshall headphones
- it is not too loud (bedroom practice)
- it gives some punch

I’m choosing between a real small frfr like the Headrush FRFR Go, or a small Marshall like Acton/Stanmore.

Other ideas??

So, I came into one of these speakers recently and have been trying to look things up.

Pictured is a listing from a decade ago describing it as rare. There's someone trying to sell one with a blown cone on eBay right now for $250 (obviously too much)

My speaker is identical, functional, sounds great.

Is it actually a rare speaker that a Mesa guy would pay decent money for?

Anyone know what this is actually worth?

I've been on the hunt for a Deluxe Reverb for a very long time. Found this minty Drip Edge. Had my tech go through it, he said the insides including the transformer had 1966 codes. He put the original caps in a bag for me, took care of the death cap, and replaced the 2-prong w/ a 3 prong.

Insane deal I found on marketplace. I see posts all the time about insane deals. Never thought id actually find one.
