    How can I add a secondary power amp stage in my very quiet vintage solid state amp?

    Hello all. Writing this thread to ask a question and see if anyone has any experience with this. I recently purchased a very cheap old solid state amp from the 60s? Called a crestwood. It seems to be a 10 watt solid state Jfet transistor amp. Can't find a single scrap of info online. The only...

    Peavey Super Festival 800b V1

    Greetings. I've recently picked up a Peavey Super Festival 800b in hopes to nail the DFA 1979 sound, and was disappointed to find that I purchased a 1974 and not a 1972 version with the insane distortion circuit that Jesse Keeler is known to use. Does anyone here know how to modify the circuit...

    NAD - Ye Olde Marshall

    New (old) Marshall 3520 200w SS and Marshall 1515 250w 15" ported cab. Circa 1980s. Just bought from classifieds tonight for AUD$150 (about USD$100). Apart from the tolex showing 30-odd years of hard wear and one scratchy pot, all seems fit for purpose.
