Thanks

I am not an expert on amps but I do have a Danelectro Dirty Thirty amp that I bought for my son when he was a teenager. He is now 33 years old so the amp is now about 16-18 years old. It had a good sound to it. I took it over after Jeff gave up guitar and grew up and moved away. It really lives up to its name. It gives you that real gritty dirty bluesy sound. After all those years it has something wrong with it and I need to get it looked at. It only plays with a real heavy distorted sound kind of like Marty Robbins recording of "Don't Worry About Me". They liked the sound and just left it in the recording and I hear that it was the birth of distortion.
I have had it for a long time and most certainly have gotten my money's worth from it. I think I only paid about fifty bucks for it in about the year 2001.

I had the Dano Nifty-Fifty. It was a very cool amp with a unique lo-fi kind of sound. I gigged with it often (for guitar, mic'd) and I'd have people wondering where my amp was. When I showed them they were floored that so much sound was coming out of this tiny little amp.
I was really disappointed when it succumbed to the famous Nifty-Fifty flaw - 1/4" guitar input on the circuit board. Easily broken.
So I'd guess the Dirty Thirty has the same kind of input. If you are getting one, be gentle plugging in the guitar. |

I picked one up. Its old. It is one FREAKY dirty blues amp for slide. I was impressed.
I hope it doesn't blow up, but in the meantime, I'm having fun.
