I'm still new to this, so I havent been able to find an Instance for guitar amps.

I recently scored this 1958 Gibson GA8 Gibsonette and I'm kind of really stoked on it. Its got a pretty unique circuit that uses 2 6v6 in a parallell single ended configuration instead of the usual push-pull. Less volume, but boy howdy does it get greasy.

Anyone else have some unique amps that they want to share with the class?

Still has the 2 pronger. I've done the 3 prong mod to a few of my other (less valuable) vintage amps, and I found that in most cases, it makes the hum worse.

Not really thinking of gigging this one, so I'm going to leave it stock as much as possible.
