I have decided that anything that I have not used for over a year must have become unneccessary. Therefore, in an effort to become a divester I have set up this divest-store. I reserve the right to chicken out and decide that a year is not long enough to know, but I don't think I will

    Guitar and Musical Instrument Amplifiers - they are almost gone now.
  1. click this link to open an email message and make me an offer or start a discussionALTEC mono microphone mixer, tubes.
    It IS the XLR input version. It also has 1/4 inch input which makes it an outrageous guitar preamp or PA interface. It is in 100% original, unmodified condition and it works flawlessly. It is almost but NOT quite the ultimate D-I box, because it does not do phantom power and because I have not gotten around to adding a transformer to make it do phantom power, I cannot use it with my favorite vocal mics, a pair of AKG 535EBs. I am w/o prejudice about what it is worth, except that I had a pretty hard time passing on another one just like it for $525 a few years ago. It is surplus to my needs and waiting to find out what someone who wants it wants to pay for it.
    Do you have a picture of the Altec 1567a (front and back preferred)? Also, do you know if it is still all original, or if it has been altered in any fashion? Could you let me know what plug-in transformers are included? I sold my Altec 1567a a few years ago for $400. I miss it now. This mic-pre has a distinctive sound for recording electric guitars. Please let me know the condition of the unit (sound and aesthetics) and let me know how much you want for it.
    The classic transformer-input Green-front tube mixer with the BIG yellow VU meter, Model 1567A, XLR-3 and 1/4 inch inputs, in nifty factory carrying case. Quite clean and most excellent. It IS the XLR transformer input version. It also has 1/4" input which makes it an outrageous guitar preamp or PA interface. It is in 100% original, unmodified condition and it works flawlessly. Otherwise it kills. The carrying case, with removeable ends covers that provide compartments for mics and cables, is simply cool beyond words.

    Right now it is loaned out to a pal with an all-digital studio, but it is for sale and because someone else has asked for pictures, I am going to retreive it and take pictures and make some recordings thru it.

    I've posted a review of the G-K 250-ML on Harmony Central
    Overall Rating: 9 I have been playing electric guitars for over 45 years now and have owned or borrowed just about every piece of hardware I ever really wanted except the big Hiwatt the Gibson Byrdland and the Maserati Birdcage. It is not even remotely perfect, and on its own it does not sound like my 5B3 tweed deluxe at all, but it is the real thing, a true vise-grips or swiss-army-knife grade tool, and is probably coolest and most useful amp I have ever owned. Only thing I wish it had that it doesn't sport is a mic-pre with phantom power, and the ability to run both preamp channels at once into separate sides of the 50 watt per channel stereo poweramp.

    My POD2 got stolen a few months ago and I replaced it as soon as i could. A lot of my gear has gotten stolen over the past few years - including both my brown-face Fender amps, the Deluxe and the Super. If this amp got stolen I would have to find another one or decide it was time to stop playing through amps that plug into the wall.

    I just got a Crate Limo (I traded an excellent vintage Ampeg B-15 portaflex for it cuz I was not using the Ampeg anymore) and that silly Crate is now the amp I am carrying around. The Limo is a very interesting amp and I am learning how to make it sound good. But the G-K is smaller and lighter and stereo and louder and a billion times more bulletproof and even though the design of the GK250ML is going on 35 years old, it is more useful than anything I have seen come down the pipe since then.

    Spring loaded J.H.Sessions handles. Dark brown grill-cloth.

    Perfect club amp. Dark cherry-wood finish that looks like fine furniture (except for the Sessions rock-n-roll handles on the sides). One knob. Unbelievably thick sound.

    One of the most overlooked parts of the power amp ins the power supply. Hi-Fi types want enormously stiff dual-rectifier power supplies. I don't and neither do you. That "breathless " totally natural sounding almost human voice-like compressed sound the little Tweed amps get is cuz they have very soft power supplies. My Tweed pro had a big old choke in it as did my brown-face Super. Too stiff. Too hard. I love the sound of single 5Y3 rectifiers, like my tweed Champ, this Matchless clone and 5C3 tweed Deluxe. Almost too long ago to admit, I started on an amp with 3 DC stages with really wimpy little power transformers, in parallel, that I could switch in or out. Cuz you need the output stage to be able to suck down the power supply, if you really want the amp to sing.

    Here is what I wrote after the first session I recorded with this amp: "Finally got close to one of my own favorite sounds a few weeks ago with my new les-paul sortacaster (tele look and feel, 4 knobs and a 3-way switch les paul wiring, duncan tele hotrails lead and alnico strat hotstack neck - 2 humbuggers) feeding a Stewart universal preamp as a pure gain block pushing the Matchless clone, driving an open-back cabinet with an alnico magnet E-V SRO 12. Light cone, and a herken big magnet. Yummm." The old Buzzsaw Deluxe with balls like cantaloupes. A sound so rich that your favorite dead rockstar might have lifted his head up from a pool of vomit he was drowning in, and shouted out "what the ---- amp WAS that, anyway?!" and as a result, lived.

    Currently unloaded and serving as my office chair. Many other awesome guitar speakers available.
    The Upstage recordings with Emanuel feature the same cabinet with an ALTEC 12 and the tweed deluxe chassis.
