JGale Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Aurora is in the shop. Tried a Quilter 101R. Ordered a Frenzel ME-50. Picked this up because I could. From Canada via eBay. Contact says Mooer is not going to continue manufacture. Realized 0dB and -10dB are not the same thing on the Tech 21 PSA-1's output jacks, so now it is PLENTY loud! Cannot get it to distort except at full volume and then just a little. OEM 12AT7 and 12AX7 are noisy, replaced them with a JAN-5751 and a Telefunken and noise floor absolutely shrank. The OEM EL84s are actually very clean and have much less of an EL84 sound to them, through they are bright. Tried some NOS EL84s to confirm this. BOTTOM LINE: Nice amp at a nice price. $319 plus shipping from Brantford, Canada. Got here in less than a week. He has two left. Takes pedals well, reacts to tube swaps like a good little amp should. Does an amazing clean with the OEM EL84s, quiet if you replace the 12A_7s with nice. (Just mine. Yours may differ. If you need NOS I can help). https://www.ebay.com/p/10022509211
crunchee Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 From the Ebay listing: "You must use a PRE-AMP with this Amplifier --- it is a power amplifier only." What do you plan to use for/on the front end of this amp, if anything?
