You can use a single GZ34 in place of the two 5U4s in these. Each #1 input uses both triodes of their respective 12a*7 preamp tubes, rather than just 1/2 as in a Deluxe or Bassman. You can’t jumper the channels on these like on a Deluxe or Bassman, but the channels are interactive in the same way. Using a “Y” cord into each #1 as shown uses both triodes of both V1 & V2 giving you double the signal. A very toneful and versatile amp.
That combo of a Celestion and a Jensen ( Ceramic and Alnico) sounds perfect with that style amp. Some-one has been using thier ears and succeeded where others have failed....I may try that , I have an Alnico P12Q and an 8" ceramic Celest and 40w Fender watts ti work with. Thsnks for the inspiration.
Its funny how many people have these and dont know how they work. You dont need to jump channels input 1 is half yhe preamp tube, input 2 uses both halfs of the preamp tube in parallel. The way we has it jumped in input 1 on both channels is the same as running input 2 on 1 chennel. If you y cable both 2nd inputs you grt 4 tube halfs running in parallel

Playing begins at 2:50
dude most videos people rattle on for 20 minutes lol...this isn't that bad. you need some intro context. lol
Amazing amp! What y cable you use. Is the function kind a a b y pedal?
Sounds awesome nice playing
quality knee
Thanks - I grew it myself.
Where did you get the wheels to push the amp around from?
Awesome demo! How much louder does it get going from clean to distorted?
Nice amp and playing! What setting was the volume knob at?
Also, how much louder is this amp than a Tweed Deluxe would you say?
A lot louder. Think like JTM-45 or a Bassman.
Looks like a fender tweed amp
Looks like a Blues Deluxe
😂
😁
Sounds the same as the artist tweed $600

See my comment below. These don’t work like other tweeds.
