"** Please note that this amp has a reconed speaker and may not sound like one you have, or one you are selling ;-) **
1948 McKinney tube amp - demo
Here's a 1948 McKinney amp made by Valco in Chicago. This is the same as a Supro® Supreme of the same era with the single volume control and 6J7 input tube. Other tubes are 6SC7, (2) 6V6GT, and 5Y3.
Speaker is the 10" field-coil Rola (pro-reconed by Nick at the Speaker Shop).
Demo is done with a parts S- type guitar with Don Mare pickups, then a Lester-P with P9Zero pickups.
Amp was set to about 80% volume.
The rear of the amp is shown at the end of the video.
(Note: I added the audio to the video for better sound quality as the camera mic is not very good.)"

"F- type solid state amp, Tokai® alder .9 gauge, mambalaw overdrive!"
-israelael

"Guitar instrumental
Equip. used:
1981 Tokai Silverstar strat ('68 Reissue 4-bolt version) with Don Mare pickups, late '60s Vox Wah, DOD Overdrive Preamp FX50, Danelectro Chicken Salad (modded), Electro Harmonix POG and Alesis Nanoverb plugged into a 1971 Marshall Super Bass 100w, 1970 Basketweave cab with 25w pre-rola greenbacks.
Amp's volume set to 7. Master volume (Lar/Mar PPIMV) is set somewhere below 1. So the overall volume is actually really low. Filmed with a Canon IXUS400. That camera could not handle more volume at that distance plus it stopped recording after 3min for some reason."
