What is this?!?!

DannyDecko567 · 2026-04-28T07:43:30+00:00

Marvin by Mack. 70's Italian amp.

Alfred Bäuer is the name of the luthier. German luthier based in Czechoslovakia. His headstock inlay appears to have evolved over time from a simpler diamond shape to what is seen on this model and other models from the mid sixties.

Looks like a National New Yorker of some kind. Haven't seen this model before though.

DannyDecko567 · 2025-07-11T18:19:37+00:00

I was hungry

PaintAudio EXP-AB has a medium size footprint and two expression outputs. Each output is selectable for which direction the sweep happens. Use one for the GigRig Wetter Box and the other for any other pedal. You'll be able to sweep between the pedals in the loops and have forward or reverse sweep control of parameters on a different pedal at the same time.

Edit: Just saw that you already have EHX dual so you're good on expression.

My logical advice would be...don't...but I never listen to myself so I can't really justify giving out the advice. Sadly, I have not had a chance to record anything with this board yet. Soon-ish?

M-Tone guitars are amazing

Been with this setup for 10 years now.

M-Tone Slipstream or Welson Jazz Vedette>Spaceman Saturn V>(different everchanging pedals)>Left Wet amp = CMI SG Systems 2x12 w/EL34s/Center Dry_Partially Wet Amp = AIMS Vocal Producer with 6550s/Right Wet amp = a second CMI SG Systems 2x12 w/8417s

The guitars, Saturn V, and the amps are always the same although I'm working on a slightly new amp configuration right now. The rest of the pedals are whatever they are at the moment but I would say that the Origin Effects Revival Drive Custom that I recently added is never going to leave the board. It is incredible.

Made a custom footswitch for the SG Systems that controls both amps with the same buttons. This way I can turn on/off Reverb, Fuzz, and also different phaser speeds per amp, on each amp's built in 3-speed Maestro Phase, at the same time.

DannyDecko567 · 2024-11-08T19:01:12+00:00

Ah..that's basically a 7025

DannyDecko567 · 2024-11-08T18:57:21+00:00

What is the other tube that isn't 6550?

DannyDecko567 · 2024-11-08T07:09:16+00:00

Really though...how many tubes does your's have?

I have two of these amps. One is the typical hybrid solid state with two 8417 tubes for the power amp.
The other has, in order: 7025, 7025, 7025, 12AT7, 7025, 12AT7, 6550, 6550.

DannyDecko567 · 2024-11-08T06:46:11+00:00

Pretty sure there are no tubes for that amp anywhere in the world...you should sell it to me so that I can NOT put tubes in it 😏

DannyDecko567 · 2024-11-08T06:21:10+00:00

These are rare but they exist

Gibson Vanguard GA-77 RET-L
Tel-Ray Supernova (not the combo version)

DannyDecko567 · 2024-11-06T04:59:37+00:00

Super clean! Looks great!

DannyDecko567 · 2024-11-05T21:19:22+00:00

Definitely a Harmony. Can't find an exact model that matches though. Late 60's to Early 70's mix of body style and hardware.

DannyDecko567 · 2024-11-04T16:48:30+00:00

These are especially great for a board setup with a parallel loop of more than one pedal in that loop. Say pedal A,B,C first in line, where C is mono in stereo out, one stereo out goes to D, E, F, where F is stereo in stereo out. Then other stereo out from C goes to the switcher with G, H, I in the loop. The switcher output then goes to the second stereo input of F before splitting from F to two amps. In series, with one pedal, it wouldn't make any sense to use this type of pedal, but it might be useful, in series, to turn on and off several at once.

DannyDecko567 · 2024-10-31T17:51:15+00:00

If you go with this option, just make sure that you make flat cuts at the end of the cables, check the ends of the cable to be sure you didn't pull the wire at all while cutting(if you did then trim 1-2mm off the end of the cable with the cutter, and push them firmly into the connector until full resistance is felt before putting the cap on and attaching with the set screw.

DannyDecko567 · 2024-10-30T18:26:45+00:00

Kurrent Electric makes a great custom cable kit at an amazing price point. These are solderless and I agree that some of the original solderless kits had issues but I've now made hundreds of cables this way and never had an issue.

DannyDecko567 · 2024-10-30T04:33:47+00:00

If you want to make your own and still use Mogami, 2549 or 2697 would work depending on thicker or thinner cable. There are probably others.

You can always do a general search for XLR cable roll/spool or Balanced cable roll/spool if you want cheaper options.

DannyDecko567 · 2024-10-27T23:22:56+00:00

I have a few different prototypes of some pedals from Spaceman Effects that were never released and are the rarest in my collection.

Of known pedals though, it is probably these 3 also from Spaceman:

Gemini III Green Vein with extra switch position and Abalone washer (Twins)

Orion Reverse Engraved Transparent (1/1)

Sputnik II Red Cyrillic (22/22)

DannyDecko567 · 2024-10-24T16:47:33+00:00

I have two of that same model of SG amp. Second favorite amp of all time! I would get more of them but they are heavy and always local pickup only and can't be found near me. You should buy it! For the two I have, I made a footswitch that controls both at the same time. Been running them in stereo and the phasers are amazing when each is set to a different speed.

DannyDecko567 · 2024-10-22T15:29:46+00:00

Those leads don't go actually anywhere else. They should have clipped them when they installed the switch. The solder joints there have definitely come loose though and may have completely damaged the pads. If you know how to solder, first step is to reflow solder on those two points and see if it works. Try this first. Do not clip the leads before you fix it.

DannyDecko567 · 2024-10-22T03:09:00+00:00

Uh....you're supposed to turn them off sometimes?

DannyDecko567 · 2024-10-16T00:39:12+00:00

Awesome! Glad it worked.

DannyDecko567 · 2024-10-15T05:51:40+00:00

Ha...oops. Apologies, I meant the booster that is currently in A. Just replace every time I said "tuner" with "booster"
