It's the preamp tube that's missing and there really are only a handful of possibilities. I'd guess it's 12AX7/12AU7 but Teisco amps have some funky tubes in a lot of old models like 6AR5's that aren't in production anywhere anymore (they are at least cheap and available on the NOS market though). Not sure how a tech would know what tube type is needed. I know there are many, many tubes types that will fit that socket so it might require some sort of magic trick to figure it out. Failing that, some mad amp scientist on the internet must know...

Professorbx posted:Think more Big Muff cranked with your phone speaker hooked up. For content, to Manky's query: Vox Night Train has an 8 ohm speaker out, as does the Orange Tiny Terror, Marshall Haze MHZ15 and Egater Tweaker. And then there are combos with speaker outs like the Fender Pro Junior and Blues Junior (Super Champ XD for a hybrid that people love). That's a crap ton of variety in the $500/15w range. Limited selection for heads cheaper than that... Blackstar HT-5H people seem to like, the Value Junior is a mod'er delight and few others I've heard and read nothing about. "Clean" tone is a state of mind. Depends what your reference is, all amps have a color.

crm posted:What do you recommend along the lines of a Blues Jr or Superchamp that 2 inputs? It's hard to find two input amps in the 15-20W range. Why do you need two inputs? There is probably a better way to solve your problem...

You can't use watts to compare output of solid state power sections to tube power sections. Lots of factors go into volume, but 15 watts of tube power is pretty much the limit for an apartment I'd say--15 watts can be played live with a drummer without having to push the amp. 1. 50 watts of tube gets loud as gently caress. 2. The lower wattage amp will break up at lower volumes. It'll also get to the unpleasant level of break up at lower volumes. An attenuator or master volume evens the playing field. 3. Marshall Class 5's are readily available on the used market for $300. It lacks a master volume, but it does have a "low power" switch that tames it pretty well. No 5 watt combo I've come across is loaded with a really great speaker anyhow. The cabinets are usually poo poo too; the Class 5's cabinet is actually the best out there, in my opinion--it's quite large and seems to let the speaker open up a bit better. Still, if you want a full, deep sound, you'll have to get a proper cabinet. Manufactures have realized that these little cabs suck, so most 5 waters are available as heads (if head and cab are a money issue, most 5 waters have jacks for extension cabs so you could always save to buy a cab later).

Adam Vegas posted:The AC15 sounds like it would be right up my street, no idea how I didn't think of it earlier. Thanks! Of course, Vox is chimey. If you want a jangly bedroomer (that you may have to mic for gigs) the Princeton reissue is the cat's rear end. AND if you do find that you don't have gigging volume, just add an extension cabinet. A couple extra speakers make a world of difference.

I've never actually seen an Orange sale. I don't think Orange let's it's stockists put them on sale either, so it would be a long wait. What Orange does allow and support is selling factory refurbs which seem to have some flexibility in price and are practically new.

GrAviTy84 posted:The combo is pretty good too but I think it suffers from small cab and 10" speaker suffocation. That said, even in 1/4w mode, I find that it's still too loud when I push it to where I like that amp (just a hair shy of a tickle of break up, where there is a load of chime and if I play hard I get just a bit of grit but no real unpleasant distortion).

40 OZ posted:I was getting ready to plop down on a '65 DRRI and then i saw this thing. On paper, it looks like a better deal because they turned the normal channel into a bassman stack. 2 for 1! I also prefer the look of the silverface. Great! But try it, you might like it. The DRRI is a definite winner though.
