    I have two old Selmers.
    My first ever guitar amp was a s/h Selmer T'n'B 50 MkIII.
    These days I have a MkII (awaiting new caps).
    It was given to my girlfriend's father by Jim Marshall.
    Jim and Bob were old mates.
    Had F.ALL stencilled on the back, now worn off ...
    My other Selmer is a Truvoice Concord 8, croc covering, now sporting a Celestion Green Back.
    That also needs caps.
    All in good time ...

    I used to buy and sell these as a hobby! They are so fine when they are sorted. I had a guy drive all the way from Germany (to the UK) to buy a Croc skin T 'n B with matching 18" bass cab. Guitars sound great through the 18" Celestion. Legend has it that a new salesman plugged the speaker into a live mains socket and produced the loudest sound in London since the blitz.

    Thanks Josh for demoing this amp - there’s not a lot of mk1 videos on UA-cam and it’s great to hear a player as good as yourself putting one through it’s paces. Very cool.

    Great playing and demo! My first tube amp back in the 70s was a Selmer T&B MK II. Traded it in for about $50. SMH. Would love to have that amp now.

    I own 3 Selmer TB50 amps including a croc skin one as featured in this great video and can only agree with Josh......my other 2 TB50s are the black MK2 model and all 3 are great amps and still selling for reasonable money......

    I've just learned about Selner in the last year or so. A friend hipped me to them. He has five Selmers I think. I haven't had a chance to play through one yet. Apparently they were the amp of choice for the Beatles before their manager signed a deal with Vox that only allowed them to play Vox onstage. Pretty awesome. Keep up the great work Josh!!

    • @andrewfrancis3591
      @andrewfrancis3591 2 роки тому

      Look at the footage of their first New York stadium gig. Vox fronts but you can see the guts hanging out the back on a 3 second shot from the wings. I've had them apart, sure looks like the big Zodiac to me.

  • @marcschroeder7095
    @marcschroeder7095 4 роки тому +2

    Literally just picked up a '71 T&B 100 yesterday. I've been playing through a Zodiac 50 for twenty five years. The Zodiac breaks up quick which I love. The T&B however is a 100w English beast.

  • @whackystrings

    Cool that the Echorec was used...Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd is known to have used this Selmer amp with the Echorec. Not sure if that was intentional or not for Josh to use it.

  • @philipharris2273
    @philipharris2273 2 роки тому

    I picked up a MkIII a few days ago - really well maintained with F&T caps throughout (to my surprise and delight). The cathode caps on the ECC83s (12AX7) had drifted badly but were very easy to replace. That got rid of some background hiss. It's a really good sounding amp. I like it best when jumping the channels as you can really play with the tone between the two. AND it has an "Echo loop" (read effects loop in more modern parlance). all the hardware and controls are good quality (i.e. transformers, choke, pots, jack sockets, tube sockets). For the money (mine was £400 inc carriage!) these are a superb bargain if you can find one. Not quite sure why mine doesn't sound as good as Josh's...

    I have a Selmer Zodiac twin, with original Celestion speakers, but of course only tremelo, no Reverb. It sounds beautiful but really needs some well fitted Reverb to sound its best. I'm in New Zealand but let me know if you're interested.

    ive got a selmer PA its 100 watts from the later era when they didnt have a valve rectifier.i would like to compare it to a treble and bass.it{s quite hard to keep it clean with humbuckers presumably cos its designed for mics so it has hot inputs.

    How do you deal with single pickup noise? I feel like I need to learn to live with it because I love the sound and feel of single coils. I am always switching to positions 2 and 4 to cut noise but I am not big fan of that tone.
