Hello all. I'm a complete Ampeg neophyte
Having mostly played fender or homebuilt fender AB763 amps most of my life.
I just bought a Super Echo Twin Et-2 the later model with 7591s and SS rectification. I was going to build my own stereo amp (I've built some deluxe reverbs and vibroluxes from scratch) but this appeared..kind of locally and I was curious. It should arrive within the week.
I use a Roland Re-150 space echo. The RE-150 has separate wet and dry outputs so I'normally use it in stereo using two amps.
I usually run a line out from my 'dry/main' amp into another channel on my 'wet echo amp" this keeps the width of the sound when the echo is turned off and gives me a fuller sound all around.
I play clean for the most part.
I was curious if there would be a way to accomplish this with the amp as is or if I might have to do some minimalistic mod to accomplish it.
How are these amps for holding up clean used in stereo, with a drummer?
Decent headroom? They aren't rated too high and I'm not looking to drive them into distorting
I have a light jazzier/swing/latin pop 4 piece and a louder 3 piece rock pop band
Regardless it looks like a cool amp concept. I like the way it accomplishes the tremelo and the reverb and how it allows them to be separated.
Any insights would be appreciated!
Sadly it has been re-tolexed (very well) in plain standard fender style black tolex, no cool diamond pattern (maybe a project for the future if I keep it?)
No Ampeg logo nor original corners, Though the corners look close-ish.
Also it has Garnet/Marsland speakers which have never been the best. Though sometimes they're actually emminence
I'll see if I like them when it arrives
I do have a few options here to try here
A pair of JBL D123s is one option
If anyone owns one and has used it in stereo and or mostly clean I'd be interested.
Thanks
