Author: I am curious about car tube amps. Butler audio specifically, others as well. If you own or have seen/heard one in operation I would like to know how they compare with other amps.
tube amps are pure sound(clean sound).
they are good for a front stage of your car but not powerfull enough for a sub.
I wanna list down ALL of the guitar effects because I wanna create my own line of fictional pedals
Effects generally fall under one of 3 categories:
– Amplitude modifiers: These would be your overdrive, distortion, booster, and fuzz pedals. Compressors and gates also fall into this category
– Tonal modifiers: This is where wah-wah pedals, graphic and parametric equalizers, and envelope followers live
– Time modifiers: Chorus, Phase Shifting, Flanging, Delay, and Reverb would all fall under this category.
The one effect that doesn’t neatly fit into one of those 3 categories are pitch shifters and octave dividers. Technically, they are frequency modifiers. Frequency is the inverse of time, but they still don’t behave like a time modifier, so I guess they are on their own.
With an audio signal, there are only 3 aspects you can mess with…Frequency, Phase, and Amplitude.
Go from there.
And BTW, which you come out with your fictional pedals, I’ll pretend to endorse them;)

I play through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and have a full pedal board setup. I run my timed effects(delay, tremelo) through the preamp and the overdrives through the front. What does it mean to run an amp through stereo? Does it change the tone of the guitar/amp?
You can only run an in "in" stereo (not through) if the amp is designed to do so. That would mean two power amps and at least 2 speakers.
Your Fender amp is not stereo, so you can’t run a stereo rig with it alone.
Now, if you had a second amp you could possibly have a stereo rig. The one additional component you would need is some type of delay, chorus, or other time-based effect that has a mono-input/stereo-out arrangement.
The advantages of playing a stereo guitar rig are:
– The sound is spread out more
– With the right effect(s), it can mimic 2 guitars playing together
– Gives the option of panning effects
The disadvantages:
– The sound is more spread out (this isn’t always a good thing, especially in very heavy music)
– More gear to haul around
– Increased complexity in the setup
There are guitar rigs that are one-box stereo solutions. Most digital modeling amps (once you get past the toy ones) offer stereo. The Line 6 Vetta II I used is stereo. On small stages, I’ll run it into a 2×12 cabinet in stereo. On big stages, I’ll bring out two separate 2×12 or 4×12 cabinets and put them on each side of the stage. With that setup, I can give the audience whiplash if I put a ping-pong delay on!

I was wondering if any of the amps that fender makes now are hand wired, like they were back in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s.
Frankie Kelly Industries – History and Sales of fender amps – Kelly …Information and Reviews for Fender Amps. Fender has been making amps since the … of adding components to make the amp more reliable and cleaner sounding. … This amp being hand wired sounds much more like the original 1957 twin amp. …

All acoustic amps will work with a Martin. Genz Benz and Shenandoah are two that come to mind. You may want to Google "acoustic guitar amps" and read reviews on all of them You can also try Epinions.com. I highly recommend Acoustic Guitar Magazine because they really keep you up-to-date with not only new equipment, but older and vintage as well. A good deal of the articles center around the gear used by showcased artists .

Fender “Champ-Amp” 5F1 (1958)
4-5 Watts 8″speaker
I’m using two different mics to check the amp:
1.Astatic JT-30 (all chrome Youngstown-pre1946)with Amphenol on/off switch
2.Electro Voice RE-10
i think everybody in the blues world know this amp, mine is all original but i changed the speaker to a Kendrick Black Frame to save the original in case of selling the amp
