After a little Musicmaster and little ES140 earlier today, here's a few of my littlest #amps to round out this little holiday. . That's a Mack Gem 4 watt amp on top, a 1964 #Fender #Champ beneath, and my amp guy, @marshalllespaulfan built the little amp beneath that, called the Dyna-Tone JHM, based on a 1959 #Harmony #H304 circuit, and packed into a #Marshall #MG10CD #amp box. BTW, the H in JHM is a nod to the Harmony circuit within. 😆 . . #gibson #gibsonlespaul #lespaul #lespaulspecial #amp #fenderchamp #vintageamps #homemadeamp #littleamps #smallamp #guitar #guitars #gibsonguitar #guitarphotography #ampphotography #ampcollection #guitarcollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CE2NYGzhYsO/?igshid=ecj61pb7b5pu

Here is something you dont see very often...me playing a #guitar on video! But I'm so enjoying this homemade "JHM" that my #amp tech @marshalllespaulfan built and lent me yesterdsy when I dropped off my #Fender Twin for servicing, that I just had to post a crappy cellphone clip of my crappy playing. This is straight into the amp playing my other patron's (@tomgibson3783's) #R7 #LesPaul. The tone knob is all the way up and the volume is at 7. That is natural overdrive...not a pedal! There is reverb added (coming out of a second amp off to the left) and I'm playing it through a 1 x 10" cab with an Eminence Ragin' Cajun speaker. . Check out @marshalllespaulfan's post from yesterday for more info on this little beast. It's based on a Harmony circuit with a single 6V6 and puts out around 5 watts (and is loaded all vintage tubes of course!). He repurposed a little Marshall box to house the amp (notice the front panel says "JHM", with the H being an homage to the Harmony circuit lurking within!) . So much fun to play and not too loud...I always wanted to learn how to build something like this myself!! . #gibsunday #marshallmonday #marshallamp #harmonyamp #harmonyguitar #gibsonguitar #guitar #guitars #amps #ampbuilding #homemadeamp #diyamp #amptech #amprepair #guitarphotography #ampphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CEhPoSHBdRu/?igshid=1k4796wtd7bzd

A 2.5 watt #Marshall??Am I in low-wattage #amp heaven?? 😆 I was at @marshalllespaulfan’s place on the weekend and he was showing me his latest creation: a clone of his 1959 Harmony amp. 2.5 earth-shaking watts packed into a small Marshall enclosure. Perfect for my apartment-playing requirements! And it sounds incredible too...he can dime it without blowing out the windows! Of course he plays it through his 4 x 12 cab. That helps the sound too! 😀 Here are the details for us amp-ohilics (copied from @marshalllespaulfan’s post): “1959 Harmony H304 (other than 1 resistor), fitted onto the chassis of a #MarshallMG10 CD with custom made panels. Lefties rejoice; you may notice this IS a left handed amplifier! When looking at the component board from the front panel side, signals travel from right to left; and they said it couldn't be done! Mustard and Sprague caps. All vintage tubes. CE can cap too. Surprisingly agile and sharp at 2.5 watts max clean output. The circuit is basically a (#Fender) #Champ, but it doesn't squish (or f* out) as much. More Marshally thru the #G12H30 cab. And it does not really sound close to the original Harmony, which I consider blessed with an uniquely pleasing lead tone. Component drift, and aged parts, output transformer extremely broken in?” #guitar #guitars #amps #amplifiers #diyamp #homemadeamp #ampbuilding #vintageguitars #vintageamps #marshallamps #vintagemarshall #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitarsdaily #marshallsofinstagram #guitarphotography #ampphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Btjqwt8h-Vw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mh4dhtu0q90y

Found in the wild! Check out this homemade late 40s/early 50s tube amp. Not your usual amp, uses a UTC LS-55 output transformer and 6B4G output tubes. Also unusual is the Thordarson input transformer and the volume/tone pots have a universal joint and flex axle assembly I've never seen on a amp. Check out the gooey wax caps. Guessing 10 watts output. #tubeaudio #tubeamplifier #homemadeamp #6b4g #utctransformers (at Spokane, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxqkUWjdvP/?igshid=1w5qtpjtw4kkr
