I think the speaker in my Session 400 is about to give up the ghost. I get a "frying" sound on sustained notes. Just spent quite a bit of money on this amp on mod and repair, so I assume i ...

I spend a LOT more time playing through/listening to my amps than I do carrying them. There are casters, 2-wheel dollies, etc. I believe I'll just hang on to my Twin. And my Session 400. PSGs aren ...

1965 Twin Reverb, 15" JBL D-130 speaker. Grille cloth is period correct, but not original. I still have the 2x12 baffle board with the original grille cloth. This one isn't a museum piece, but ...

I've played fiddle for 40 years, and never found anything close to being as good as the LR Baggs Para Acoustic DI preamp. I've tried several hi-dollar/hi-end pre's, and either sold them or sent them ...

I'll tell ya a story, for whatever it might be worth to you. About 20 years ago, I started having a major problem with my '65 Twin. I'd turn it on at a gig, and it worked great for about 5 minutes. ...

A couple of references to "vintage" amps have been made in this thread. I own a '65 Twin Reverb with a D-130 which I happen to think sounds pretty dang good, so you'll not hear me dissing t ...

1982? Thirty years ago??? Man, you don't hold a grudge or anything like that, do ya? By God, he pissed me off back in '82... Laughing

I played through a '65 Twin Reverb for 25 years and as far as I'm concerned, that's the benchmark for reverb. When I switched to solid state Peavey amps ~8 years ago, after trying out everything they ...

I play way more fiddle than I do steel, and use all George L's with my fiddle setup. They do brighten the tone a bit, which you don't need for fiddle, but I can easily compensate with my LR Baggs pre ...

why even one?
Listen to Gary Carpenter play through his NV400, and you'll have your answer.

I have a '65 Twin. Picked in up in 1977. Len, you're gonna like it, a lot! That amp and my old '51 Nocaster is a marriage made in heaven! That is exactly what a Tele is supposed to sound like. It ...

Hello Erv,

I'd like to have a copy of How Great Thou Art. I'd also like to have a copy of your latest tab list as well, if you don't mind. If you prefer to email the tab list, you can email it to ...

Paul, I expect your speakers are 12" rather than 10". Before you go and change anything, just unhook the #2 speaker. That's what I do with my Twin. You will find that you get a different, ...

For me it has always been a delicate balance between having a little fun and making a little money. The Urban Cowboy era in the 80s was great. I'm a traditional country guy, but during that time the ...

I put Ken's chips in a late model NV400, and the improvement was remarkable! I used that amp mainly for fiddle, and fiddles absolutely torture amps. Compared to electric fiddle, getting great amp to ...

Twin Reverbs and JBL D130s go together like bacon and eggs. I've got a '65 with a D130, and it sounds like 'buttah'. A bit weighty, but quite a bit lighter than one with 2-D120s. Pedal steel, Tele, ...

There were two different Session 500 amps. The early one was two separate chassis as stated. They used the 400BH power amp module (similar to the one used on some of the PA systems)and a separate pr ...

I sold my NV400 to raise the dough. Ken, I'll email you for shipping instructions, etc.

Great, thanks Ken. I think I might be able to get under the wire. Smile

Bill - Sure! Give me a holler! I'll let you have a look at that old fiddle in its current condition.

Ken - Don't know where I got the idea, but I thought you were working on vintage tube amps onl ...

Does anyone know if Ken offers a Burr-Brown chip upgrade for the Session 400? I found the upgrade kit for the Session 500 on his website, but didn't see one for the Session 400.

Second question, ...

Just want to say, this is an outstanding thread.
