This came up in a conversation after I purchased my DuoTone. From what I've read the model just didn't catch on. So sales where limited. Any guesses on how many 3 holers and the the F hole Duotones where made?

Pictures are up on the message board!

Are you turning up the vibrator on your wheelchair again???

It didn't work when I got it, but with the help of fellow HFC'rs everything is working great now. I alway's wanted a 3 Hole DuoTone! Now I have one!! And it's beautiful!!

That one is a different value. It's the volume pot. The probly ran out of black ones. All of mine say "Made in Spain" I'm still trying to figure out where the circuit board was made. I do know that PCB's from the 80's had a tendency to be tan. I'm thinking about building new PCB's. I think if I send one in they'll clone it. Then it just add the parts! Surface mount parts...I hate those tiny things....

Thank's Guys!! I got it all working! The Preamp circuit board is tan on this 1994 model and has some bad tracings. So that's gonna take a bit. Just jumpers for now! Thanks Again!!! Another Hamer has risen from the doesn't work stuck in a closet to a player once again!!!

Thank You!!

I just bought a 1994 Duotone only to find out the wiring has been butchered. If anyone has a USA 3Hole Duotone that they don't mind taking pictures of their innards please place them here or PM them to me. I also need close ups of the volume and tone circuit board. Also if any one knows of a schematic that would really be cool for the acoustic preamp board. Thanks!!! Jeff

I'm wondering it that isn't a chunk of Lebonese blond hash they're going to share!!!

Blackstar makes some great sounding amps... but .... if they stop making that great sound they are a sum of a gum to repair! Most parts are tiny surface mount examples. Hot air gun, high magnification and a really steady hand required!! The less expensive models just go to the bin...

Take those deep breaths!!! You got this! You won't believe how much better you'll feel!

Got 2 off, cheap gear, total garage band! But it's music made with Hamers!

Trying to get some rough tracks ready to go. Hopefully today! Is the 28th a dead stop?

I'll bring 2, 3 if it requires an acoustic. Small combo amp, medium pedal board. I've been fiddling with the Line 6 stuff again. I hated it before, just didn't sound right. They've improved. Bar Gigs are far and Few between after I turned 70. But the house party kinda thing is still fun. Play songs people like to sing along with. Everybody's happy! No fist fights or flying bottles....

Buy it online and have it shipped to him with all the right stuff. No hassles!!! Let Amazon deal with that!

WTF?

Great score! I have always preferred SG's over Lester's. Just fit me better, the upper fret board is more accessible. I have a reissue set up for slide. They really shine in the glass meets string world!!!

This would have been perfect for Jim Irsay! RIP!

Back in the day David Allen Coe. Pat Severs of the Pirates of the Mississippi. Blaine Eits is one of my best friends. He's done a ton of work with the Nashville crowd. He worked with Red Volker just a while back. Here he is with this unknown!

Interesting guitar! I have a Suhr Alt T. It's not my number 1 but it's a Hamer USA level instrument. Enjoy!!

I've had a few. My favorite was a Reinhardt 18 which was a TMB clone. As I got older I wanted cleaner/moreheadroom. So I ùse a Deluxe Reverb or a 5E3 at àround 3. I think it's the 6v6 vsEL84 sound difference.

I tried to use that schematic. But the Rangers layout was different than the Duel. I think the Ranger may have morphed into the Duel. Great sounding amps! Both of them!!

I just repaired a Peavey Ranger amp. 120 watts of all tube power. I was amazed on the clean channel it was in Fender Twin clean sparkle territory. On the "Dirt" Channel it would go into Metal Zone! I'd never heard of this Model and had to contact Peavey for Schematics. This Peavey is a sleeper big time! 2-12" eminence speakers. Peavey gets the redheaded stepchild treatment... but I can remember entire backlines of their amps and many playing there guitars! It's Vintage American Made Goodness now!!!

I watched that too. Also been watching Chris's YouTube channel for a couple years. The experiences they've had while touring are great info for anyone thinking about taking a band out on the road. Their last American tour was sold out so they're gaining ground!! As far as getting a Yammy Hammy.... not for me....

Yaaaay Stike!!! ROCK N ROOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!!!
