Re: [Harp-L] Tube Driver&Amp advice (HELP)

[BiscuitBoy714@xxxxxxx]

I went to Erie Pa. last weekend  to play some blues with my Godson and pick 
up some gear I traded for last year  and just now brought it home. The gig went 
great and I found out that I can play  with dentures in my mouth if I want 
to. I've asked about the amp on here before  and haven't gotten any replies 
about it. The amp is a Pearce Electronics Inc.  G1B electronic amp. It has the two 
separate amps built in with the function of  using one or the other or both 
simultaneously. I used it a couple of times  before and it sounded pretty good 
and had all the volume I could ever need.  The number one channel on it has 
drive, bass, midrange, frequency, treble,  reverb, and volume with a threshold 
knob and limiter in-out switch in that  order from left to right. The number 
two channel has the same set up with  another reverb knob at the end instead of 
the limiter. On the back it says 110  watts at 4 ohms minimum total. It has 
separate main outputs to have two  different cabs and sounds at the same time, 
(or a kind of stereo sound), or  you can switch from one to the other, effect 
in-out for each channel and a  limiter out and power amp in. It's way more amp 
than I need but if I can get a  good sound with it.................??.
        The tube driver is a Chandler  Industries of San Francisco. It says 
real tube overdrive and has a boost switch,  a bypass switch and knobs for 
drive, contour, bias, master, hi, mid, and low.  I'm guessing that I can get 
inside and change the tube if I want to.
     PLEASE.......anybody with any knowledge of this  help me out. Should I 
try and use it for harp and guitar, or should I just trade  it to somebody that 
needs all of that? The tube driver looks like it ought to  work pretty well, 
but I know that this gear is pretty old technology and might  be more trouble 
than it's worth. I'm gonna search on the net tonight and see if  I can find 
any info on it, and what it's worth, but it's always better to talk  to somebody 
with first hand experience. 
      Any help will be muchly appreciated.
