THD Univalve F/S

[bbobb24]

I got this amp a couple of months ago as part of a trade, and as much as I like it I really don't have any need for it because of a little 2 watt Red Iron head that I picked up a while back, and I have to offset the cost of the Standard that I just bought off of another HFCer. The THD is in excelent condition and sounds great. I'll be happy to get some pictures to anyone interested. $650.00 shipped in the US, paypal is fine just add the 3%.

Thanks for reading,

Bob

Overall, Lots more positives than negatives. I really dug mine. So, I bought a Bi-Valve with more power.

Pros: Tight bottom, Excellent sounding, Killer overdrive. Versatile sound with lots of different tube choices, No biasing required of power tubes, Small, Lightweight, Power attenuator (not the best, but available if needed) Noise reduction circuit, Power-amp transformer based adjustable direct recording out, 2 Speaker outs, Able to run cabs from 2 ohms-to-16 ohms, Decent resale value.

Cons: Slightly bright sounding, Limited clean power, Speaker matching is very important (go darker), Attenuator sucks tone a bit, No channel switching.

wow, i wished someone could have come up w/ such a succinct summary when i was shopping for mine. ernie nailed it. i really dig mine.

i've been going w/ lower wattages for several years (decades!) now;

i grew up playing loud ~100w amps (fender twin/quad, sound city 120;

i never could turn 'em past 4 at a gig).

then, i played a long line of ~50w heads & combos

(fender/marshall/ampeg/etc).

in the last few years i've tried a few nicer <30w combos,

like the reverend hellhound, & carr rambler (usually set on 14w triode setting),

as well as the cheap but cool fender pro jr (15w).

for rehearsals/recording/small bar gigs/gigs with full PA & monitors

(basically everything except loud rawk/metal),

you really don't need more than 15w (IMFO).

the ability to swap tubes, along w/

the attenuater/line out makes the univale a great choice.

Brooks,

Your post is pretty funny. First 100 watters, then 50 watt heads, 30 watt, 14 watt, then you bought my 1 watt Bümbox head. Pretty soon you'll be playin' those little cigarette box amps!

Thanks for posting the pros and cons, I really appreciate it.

It is still available if anyone's interested.

Thanks again,
