Amplifier Discussion / Info on Sunn Stinger 100 amp
July 01, 2018, 02:22:54 PM
I have always wanted a SUNN amp, and my grandson knew that and picked up a Sunn Stinger 100 Amp for me last week from parts unknown! I have been on the Net trying to get information about this model Sunn amp, but the only thing I could find was a download of the owners manual from Fender/Sunn. Has anyone worked on or owned one of these amps? Heck..I can't even find out what year it was made..must be asking the wrong people!
I have found info on Stinger 20/35/60s..but little to nothing on the Stinger 100! Its very heavy for its size and very Loud! I have never see this model of Sunn Amp..But I'm happy to have it! Any info on the Sunn Stinger 100 amp will be helpful. Respects. PoorOtis.

I have a older Peavey Studio Plus 110/65watt..I think it does a good job..for what it is! My grandson is using the amp until he decides what he wants in a new amp. The other guys in his garage band want to "Mod" my amp by installing a larger 12 in speaker in it...something about "Fullness"...or what ever?? Being a 65 watt amp, it has enough power to push a larger speaker..but my question is would it be worth it to install a larger speaker or leave the old amp as is...???? Can a new speaker in a larger size make that much difference in the amps abilities or over-all tone??  Thanks.

Have a older Kustom KLA80/80watt/SS amp with a blown no name speaker in it. Not sure if its original or not,
but its shot and I need to replace it with another 12' speaker. I mainly play classic rock & blues, so..I thought the Eminerce Red White&Blues would be a good choice! Has anyone had experience with this speaker..and will it fit the sytle that I do?? Thanks.

Amplifier Discussion / Amp Website Missing..???
March 28, 2014, 08:13:03 PM
Dean Markley Vintage Amplifier Website...Where did it go??
There is little to no really useful information..IE..Design/Theory/Modifications..
Information is Very Scarce on both Tube and Solid State models up to 1996.
From 1996-2010 no new models were produced..they started up again in 2011 with Ultrasound Amps.

I'm almost positive I saw the Vintage Website some time back..but now..NOTHING..!

Where does someone go for info on their vintage amps?

Amplifier Discussion / Dean Markley DMC80 Questions
February 10, 2014, 10:36:29 AM
I picked up a vintage dmc80 2x10 ss amp..I like the cleans the amp produces.
I have 2 questions..hope someone can help me out(since I know nothing about the amp)

Is the amp a Stereo Guitar amp..??
On the rear of the amp their is a "Drive Voicing Module" eight button switch. It says its designed to
change the voicing of this amp to suit the players taste. Is this true? Does it really work, or was
it just something to boost sales of the product?

Thanks.

Amplifier Discussion / Randall RX75GR2
December 24, 2013, 01:44:36 PM
Bought the grandson a Marshall MG30CFX for X-Mas..and found out this morning that that is not the amp
that he wanted..Gee,What a Deal! What he wants is Randall RX75GR2..but the only place that I found them
is on line! None of the smaller music stores have one,nor GuitarCenter or SamAsh within 100 miles from me.
Have been on the phone with all of them..my head hurts. Is the Randall a good amp..or..??? Can't find a display
model..Whats a poor old guy to do??
I can return the Marshall..after x-mas..and try to get him what he wants..

I'm a old tube nut myself..know nothing about Randall Amps
Please help me with some information on that model.

Thanks.

Amplifier Discussion / Need opinions on 2 different amps
November 08, 2013, 12:09:03 AM
The Grandson dragged me to a pawn shop today, and showed me 2 amps he is interested in...I know little to nothing about either one except what info that I found on the net about them. I hope to find someone who has working knowledge on these amps,who has played through them or who has owned them in the past that will help me out in getting the better of the two for the kid!
The first is a Trace Elliot Tramp..all that I know is its make in the UK..and from what I understand has something to do with old Gibson Amps..?
The second is a Peavey Vegas 400...I hear its a keyboard or steel guitar amp..thats all I know..!
The Grandsons playing guitar in a garage type band..which is the better amp for his needs??
Any..All help on this will be useful
Respects.

My grandsons using using one of my guitars and my Vox Cambridge amp (his gear was stolen) until he desides what he wants to replace what he had. I bought the Vox amp new in 2000 and have never had any issues with
it...he wants me to change out the chip to get more output and to change the optocoupler..??
Is all that really necessary? Will the mods add to the amps performance or output..and if it adds more output to the amp, do I need to upgrade the LB10-1615 speaker also??
Grandson says the amp can put out more with the mods and there will be a noticeable improvment..

Is it worth the $$ for the mods..or..leave it alone?

Thanks

The Newcomer's Forum / New guy from Texas.

I hope to learn about SS amps here..I've been a tube nut for a long time..either Fender or Ampeg..both good brands and worked well for me ..but Always weighed a Ton! I sold off most of my equipment some time back to pay medical bills,and in November of last year discovered that I still had one old electric guitar stuck in the back of a closet that I forgot about..cleaned it off,put on new strings,lemon oiled it up..still plays good for a 25 year old guitar..only one problem..No Amp! I did not realize who much I missed playing guitar..since I found it,I play daily! The end if December the MRS. brought home a Marshall SS MG30CFX amp..seems like a good practice amp
to me..but I have heard from others thats its a poor SS amp..at best!!..?? Heck..I have not been in a music store in 20 years,and I'm out of touch with technoligy...thats why I'm here..to learn!
Respects.
