Hey guys,

So i have this tube amp that has been sitting in the garage for years and years now so i decided to clean it up and check if it still works and it does so that makes me happy smile.gif I know it's a Hohner Orgaphon but i did not knew anything about the specs so i looked on the internet for a while and found some interesting things.

It has 2 12" speakers producing 60 watts, 10 ECC808 tubes, 4 channels the annoying thing is that you have to unplug and plug it in on another channel if you wanna switch channel or have 4 guitars conected laugh.gif It also has reverb and vibrato with a tempo you can adjust. I was doing some testing with it and i came to the conclusion that this is an amp for things that do not require allot of distortion but for what it is i like it the clean channels are nice and warm smile.gif It was introduced in 1965 so it's possibly over 30 years old. Nothing is broken except for the power button which stays on all the time so i have to unplug it to turn it off but that's not a major issue so i think it is pretty durable.

Here is a pic:

Looks really cool. Very old equipment like this amp used to be much better quality then serial production today. I have a friend that has so many instruments and other equipment from 60's and 70's, everything works and sounds great.

Definitely a thing to hold on to yourself. This amp is gonna be a pricey antiquity some day. Cool stuff to have, that's for sure. smile.gif
