Hey everybody,
I've been looking around the net for info about the Danelectro Commando 88.
I see a lot of, mostly harpplayers, commenting on how great it is. But I have not found any info of anyone trying to recreate one.
Why not??
I have a few amps I use for harp. Super reverb, musicman 65, a homebrew 4x6L6 410. All loud and "clean". All 6L6 based. All 10 inch speakers.
I've been looking for something different. Something crunchier. Earlier breakup. Not too big, but audible in a 4 piece barband.
So 6V6's came to mind. 8 inch speakers could be cool.
Gibson GA45 is an option, but the Dano has 4 6V6's! Wow.
Has anyone ever tried building one? Any succes?
What transformers did you use, for instance?
If I go this route, I will be doing this with my faitfull amp-tech standing by.
Not the 8x8 configuration, but 4x8 with an extra speaker-out and an impedance switch. So a multitap PT.
Any info, suggestions and ideas most welcome.
Kind regards,
